Well, I’m back people. For those of whom remember me, I’m the Atheist guy. Been gone for a while, university exams, tests and all.
Anyhow, I was catching up on some points, reading here and there and noticed that even after all this time, these forums still manager to retain idiots who speak without proof, or who speak without thinking, or without using logical sense; or people who have no real sense of morality, and just speak under the cloak of ‘religion’, to be used and to define them as holy people.
I read some posts regarding the tragic earthquake. To learn some Muslims believe this is an act from Heaven. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Seems as though, the ones who make such a claim, never learned about fault lines, plate tectonics, and seisomography. In addition, many Muslims were also killed in the Earthquake, so for you muslims who believe this was an act of God, use your head to think that your own ‘brothers and sisters’ were killed by their own God.
Anyhow, having said that.
I would like to personally give my gratitude for Pakistan for offering help. Yes, that’s an excellent way to promote peace. India should have been more receiving in it’s initial offers. What makes me think really is, Pakistan and India really have a sense of nationhood. If you consider the following hypothetical example. If this many people die in roughly a concentrated area, and Pakistan puts out it’s hand to help. How could Pakistan possibly launch a nuclear missile that would do the same destruction? If you’re not following me, what I’m saying is, in times of despair the same people pakistan could have killed, they are helping now. I’m sure India would have done the same likewise. This sort of example, really should show, that behind India and Pakistan’s attempt to show a “tough guy” image, they’re really countries that feel for each other’s cause. I am glad to see that.
Anyhow, for a quick summary about my views on religion, since these days people are so fascinated about people who don’t believe in God, I’ll do all a favour and example my rough ideas. Yes, I’m too lazy to start another thread, so sue me.

Religion is an Opiate of the Masses - Karl Marx, ie; Religion is simply a drug, people can’t get off, and are highly influenced by that causes negative effects on society as a whole.
-
God doesn’t exist, due to the theory of proof by CONTRADICTION. The proof that God exists, and the proof that God doesn’t exist is quite equal, therefore in logical measures, the latter would be correct. ie; if you build a ramp on a highway that can support 100 km/h, you would set the limit lower, to make it safer. Therefore, by logic, reasoning and rationality. It’s fair to say God doesn’t exist (in logical sense).

God is a ‘security blanket’ for those who fear death. They simply can’t comprehend the fact that when we die, we just DIE, they want to believe that we suddenly fly off to distant places.
-
Religion is essentially organized crime. Organized crime against society, by brainwashing society, and having them forfeiit their hard-earned money to people who claim to be holy and help the needy.
-
Religion is inproductive, it is an utter waste of time. To sit there praying to a fictious character for hope, is essentially being LAZY. Get off your you know what, and if you want the world to be better, you HAVE TO DO IT YOURSELF. There is no Santa Claus that will jump down out of the sky to help you. MAN HELPS MAN ONLY. - Simple concept, grasp it.
-
Remember the last time God helped you? Was God there for your math exam when you failed it? Better yet; in War. How come both sides in a war believe that God is on their side? Seems as though God is gonna have a hard time figuring out who to help, nevertheless. God is almighty, he can help both sides at the same time? - Ironic paradox.

Say, one day. I decide I’m bored of typing long messages on gupshup, and decide to open up Microsoft Word, and start writing a story about how people should live, and what their daily routines and habits are. Then, what if I suddenly have this story hidden somewhere in cyberspace, and 2000 years later, some el33t hacker finds the story, and claims that this story is indeed divine?.. Have I just became the next Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Nanak? Wow, everyone start opening up your MS Word’s and start writing stories, you have a big business behind you.

As much as I believe in God, I believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause and the Boogey Man. As these characters have enough proof of their existance as God, so why not believe in them?
-
Religion promotes HATRED. Believe it or not, but why is it that Pakistani’s have such a ‘thing’ for Indians? Because it’s simply a HINDU country? Doesn’t that mean there’s hatred for Hindu’s, and vice versa, hatred of muslims? What if hypothetically, we were to REMOVE the concept of religion. For what basis would India and Pakistan have rivalries? The only I could think of then is, maybe people with beards and people without.

Atheism is the only way. Believe in Science, it’s Science that’s helped you. It’s science that has made it POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO EVEN CONVERSE ON WHAT WE CALL THIS FORUM. When you were sick, it wasn’t God who healed you, it was that synthetic medecine called Tylenol, made by a bunch of hard working guys who bust their you know what so you can get rid of common illness’s that would have KILLED people in the past..
Theists/‘Believers’ have to learn that. The Scientific community works hard for idiots who do not respect or credit them for tehir hard work, but instead pray to God thanking this fictitious person for the work of man’s sweat.
SCIENCE & ATHEISM is the WAY. I hope when you all die, if SOMEHOW possible realize where your God is then to carry you off into the rainbow.
