Atheism?
This is a nice article breaking down Atheism into more understandable sub-categories. For example: not all atheists are anti-religion.

Re: Atheism?
That's pretty cool. I think I'm negative athiest or something? i love religion though. i think people who say it's bad are way, way, way more deluded than those who believe. I mean, yeah there are some religious people who are terrorists and racist and homophobic but that's being narrow-minded and judgemental, not religious.
Has anyone read Life of Pi? Its one of my favourite books, and in it the main guy dislikes agnostics because they are too uncertain. I think everyone should read that book, it's about a castaway boy (its fiction) but it's seriously philosophical, and when you get to the end, there is this big statement about religion that you don't get right away, but when you do get it IT BLOWS YOUR MIND. Like really. Everyone should read it.

Re: Atheism?
I would say I dislike religion big time, but I tend not to be aggressive when debating with people of any religion. I do find myself not taking them too seriously, though. Some would say that this would constitute a lack of respect for religious people, but whatever.

Re: Atheism?
Let them talk. One could argue that trying to force religion upon someone is showing lack of respect for that person.

Re: Atheism?
Yep, I would agree. Religious beliefs should be put in the same category as mythological ones, but you know, political correctness and all. And the fact that most people don't realize that God only loves the Jews.

Re: Atheism?
Hehe, I had to Google NSFW to find out what it meant.
Crazy thing is that whenever I post in any forum, it's usually while I'm at work. That also means I'm playing the NELG game most of the time when I'm supposed to be working.
But don't you go telling my boss any of that, or somebody will have to get killed.
