Faith is the one thing atheists go crazy about

And you are so easy to fish in. Even my silliest posts got you guys all freaking out with hundreds of messages. I know I shouldn't be tormenting you but it is fun. You few that constantly responded gave me a good laugh but otherwise you're so predictable and boring too. Here's what some people have to say about atheists

Charlotte Allen says Atheists: No God, just whining
Atheists are a tiresome, self-pitying bunch whose primary motivation isn't rationalism but anger. I can't stand atheists – but it's not because they don't believe in God. It's because they're crashing bores.

Terry Eagleton take's to task nonbelievers for indulging in a philosophically primitive opposition of faith and reason that assumes that if science can't prove something, it doesn't exist.

And as we always respond, we are not angry, not angry at God, we don't whine, love life, are happy and fulfilled as the next person, want to improve the world, have a moral code, and I have never met an atheist who wanted pity? I doubt this Charlotte Allen really knows any atheists.

My life become so much fuller, happier, and meaningful without God. I am so liberated and happy I'm alive.

@JimboSaturn Well said. The happiest, most moral people I've encountered don't have religion in their lives. But that is the exact opposite of how atheists are perceived by the religious. There's a reason for that. Religion is about "us vs. them." Non-religion is about "us.' I think that might be threatening to some.

@Ynotisay I agree 100%. I think good people dont need a celestial police officer to be good. It speaks to people who do require a reward/punishment motive for their morality.

@JimboSaturn Good people don't need...Yep. Nailed it.

@Ynotisay as they say:
If you can't tell the difference between right and wrong you don't lack religion - you lack empathy.

@newjaninev2 Good line. On the money.
