Ahahaha!!!

You guys are so witty and funny.

Well as far as society goes viewing me as an atheist who happens to be black, well I'm just another "misguided soul in need of saving". But as far as far as the black community, they look at me ad if I'm sick, as if I wasn't raised properly how society defines properly. My family has accepted and also see some of my points I make. But most ppl, blk or white or whatever color seem to think the way I do, but out of fear they wanna be on the safe side and say God exist, just in case he happens to be real.

I've actually read Richard Dawkins book THE GOD DILUSION. it's very hard to follow especially when you don't have a 6 year degree. He needs to dumb it down just a bit with all the huge words. But he does make some good points in his book. But I wasn't influenced by his book to become an atheist. I've always question religion and God since I was knee high. But I never went against it cause as a kid your almost feared and brainwashed into believing the scary stories of heaven and hell. As a child of course you'll be more for heaven.

But everywhere I go I look at ppl differently when they blurt out there well rehearsed and memorized bible versus and they have no clue as to why they are really saying the crap they do.

Not sure if I answered your question in there but I probably went way left field on ya lol

I know what you mean. I just joined this site and noticed this particular chat room.

I find myself in debates daily with family members and friends on my lack of belief. In a society that's come so far technically and educationally, you would think everyone would at least think hard for themselves and see how man made religion or god defies all laws of physics. But pol are so stuck in believing that since majority says it's true then it must be right. At one point someone said the world was round and was looked at as an idiot until proven right. Give mankind a few thousand years and they'll come around

I choose not to believe in God, in light of specific scientific evidence. But I also don't mock people of faith, as so many in this forum do. All the while they claim to "know" that God doesn't exist, which is intellectually dishonest, because none of us are ever going to be capable of "knowing".

This statement alone only clarifies that your mind is just as closed to any possibility as those you condemn for their faith. In essence you are blindly following your own faith in your belief system. Nothing wrong with that, only if arrogance exceeds the ability to see other points of view.

That sign says a lot about religon.

I was stuck in Los Angeles one time. As I wandered around I came upon this sign that said: "If you need Jesus call 1-800-463-6849" Being curious I called the number. 20 minutes later a Mexican with a lawn mower showed up.
