Well you got a point there.Let me clarify.I'm against the setting up of fairy tales as truth.Take that Mr. Devil's Advocate. :)

The thing that makes me laugh about religion is the way people use it to support their means. The Egyptians used it to proclaim power. The right wing uses it to push legislation. Regular people use it to explain what is unexplainable at the time. People used to thing that gods made thunder and the seasons. However, once science finds the truth the stories are all called myths and people pretend that those who believe in it were "of a different time." The problem with the religion doesn't start and end with the idology. It's the people who try and use it explain things without trying to figure out the truth using true, scientific means that is the true continuation of the problem. As comedian Tim Minchin once said, "Throughout history, every mystery ever solved turned out to be not magic." That's the issue with religion... It won't change with scientific advances but change against it.

@Progressive Atheists: I'm going to answer the question you asked about a week ago. It was difficult for me to think of one thing that caused me to become an atheist, but one of the things that contributed to the deconversion process hearing all those stupid email forward type stories every time I went to church. You know, like the one where Albert Einstein proves to existence of God to his heathen professor, **** like that. Up to this point I had been a Christian all my life, and had some doubts, but usually dismissed these thoughts as lies from Satan, or whatever. The fact that the other members of the church seemed to believe these ridiculous stories got me thinking: If they can't question an email forward then why would they question an ancient book written over hundreds of years? That's one of the things that made me more willing and comfortable to question my religion. When I actually let myself think during the sermons I came to realize that none of it made any sense.

For a while I was reluctant to call myself an atheist, even though I strongly doubted the existence of God. I still had the misconception that atheists were arrogant douchebags, partly because of a misunderstanding of the definition of atheism and the fact that I watched too much Fox News as a teenager. I thought that to be an atheist that you had to flat out say "there is no god." That seemed sort of... unscientific to me. I went about a year or two where I incorrectly considered myself agnostic (not an agnostic atheist, just plain agnostic). Eventually I got addicted to watching videos on YouTube (particularly by thethinkingatheist) which made me realize that I was an atheist and embrace that fact.

@Progessive Atheists. Ah, the god of the gaps. Similar to the psychic powers what vanish in controlled settings.

Though to be fair, it's most likely the result of the brain to search for patterns whether one exists or not. And with the tricks the mind uses to be certain of its ideas, it leads to people wanting to fill in any uncertainty with their answers. From the little I've read on neurology, this isn't something people do on purpose. Indeed, most people don't realize when they're falling prey to their own confirmation biases.

This is one of the reasons I try to keep discussions as polite and non-confrontational as possible. Neurology is always a tricky subject to discuss with people as they sometimes feel you're calling them crazy, when in fact you're just pointing out the shortcomings that everybody's brains have.

Greetings Atheist members I am The Atheist Clan, No Gods ALLOWED of any-kind

Are you going to greet the non-atheist members too? We have a few, you know.

And I'd like to allow Thor and Cthulhu. Pretty nice guys, you know. Zeus is a bit of a dick, but he's funny most of the time. I mean, the guy had sex with a pot of water once. How great is that?

Dionysus threw some epic parties, you know. Who couldn't get behind the god of drunken revelries?

u guys ain't half bad with making fun of them

Sex with a pot of water? My mythology must be a bit rusty.

I would like to formally welcome our newcomer to the Atheist Empire ... me. Pleasure to meet all of you lovely godless bastards (I have a bad habit of using this word as a term of endearment among atheistic company...).

I personally am a disciple of Cthulhu and the Old Ones. So, Lord Grey II, good to see I'm not alone.
