Anonymous asked: "People could be helped even more by secular charities that don’t proselytize than Catholic charities if they had the same funds."
Proof, please. Because as it is, many people who are in positions to help those in need don't. The world has the ability to help, we just don't.

"Catholic charities often provide their generous...

Anonymous asked: How can religion cause people to lack responsibility when they are clearly commanded to help one another? Faith and Hope don't come without Charity. If anything, regardless of if you believe it is taught out of fear or not, Christianity demands we step up and take responsibility. This is why more people in poverty have been helped more by the Catholic church than any other private...

Anonymous asked: "The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement is its polarization: Us vs. Them — the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you're sensible, you'll listen to us; and if not, to hell with you. This is nonconstructive. It does not get our message across. It condemns us to permanent...

Anonymous asked: Any thoughts on the royal wedding?

Anonymous asked: Dear Hateful Atheist,
Today, I was legitimately asked "So, why do you believe in every aspect of proven science?" by a friend who I was having a friendly debate with about religion. That question I asked that evoked this response was "So, why do you believe in some parts of the bible, and not others? Do you honestly believe that god created the earth 6,000 years...

Anonymous asked: This isn't really related to religion, but you're intelligent so I felt like asking your opinion. Do you think that UFO's have ever actually been sighted by people on the earth, or do you think that all of the claims etc. are false and ridiculous?

nataliesteiner asked: "Freedom, most definitely and that is one of the biggest things religious individuals give up." - Technically you are correct. We freely give up our Free Will to do the will of God... But we haven't lost our ability to be free, that's silly! Now, don't get me wrong, your freedom is probably not the same as my freedom. Your freedom probably consists of doing whatever you...

Anonymous asked: Do you feel that being a Christian or simply being a person of unreligious faith causes them to lack wisdom, intelligence, logic, freedom, responsibility and reason? That only those who are atheists possess that quality?

And I see that on here, the only religion you refute seems to be Christianity and the Muslim faith, does this mean you support the other world faiths in their...

Anonymous asked: Your "logic" makes no sense, here you take the basis of the Christian faith, without fully understanding and denounce it.

Just because you can form a sentence does not make you a logical person, and I'm 100% faith free and I sit here and disagree.

Anonymous asked: Just wanted to stop by and tell you that I appreciate this blog. Being an atheist, and living in a small town, I am subjected to the non-nonsensicalness of the Christian faith. Why, at class the other day, I was speaking with a peer about the history of Christianity and about the moral fallacies of the Bible. I soon discovered that I, an atheist, had more knowledge on the subject than this church...

thewaywarddaughter-deactivated2 asked: I need your advice.
I am an Atheist and my Husband is a Christian. He believes in god, heaven, hell, the whole kit and kaboodle.
We have discussions about it but we rarely argue about religion (or lack there of) The issue is his family. They are god fearing Born Again Christians and are very set in their ways. They know I'm an Atheist but usually just ignore it or pretend...

them00nman asked: Would you ever come to think that the existence of humans was a mistake, or that the earth just wasn't meant to hold us? A biological or chemical error? The reason I ask is because with all of the problems we create for our environment, it makes me feel like that's just not how everything was supposed to go. If we were meant for this planet, then we wouldn't be hurting it so much....

Anonymous asked: Do you enjoy any movies/books/music/art/entertainment that could be considered Christian? Example: The Chronicles of Narnia, Creed, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Lord of the Rings, etc?

Anonymous asked: You can't speak out against Atheists or can't speak kindly or anything religion does, can you? I pity you.

Anonymous asked: "If a geologist sets out to find evidence of a massive biblical flood that covered the earth they may or may not find it, but the results be will independent of what they hoped to find if published scientifically without bias, if they skew results to add bias of their own, they’re not upholding good science."
So you're going back on your original statement and saying...

Anonymous asked: "Any Atheist scientist who has considering the subject at length realizes there is no way to disprove the existence of God with the possible exception of Victor Stenger. I don’t think there is any measurable amount of Atheists that get interested in science because they believe it will lead to them proving non-existence. As far as disproving the claims of religion, that is field that...

spooky-boy asked: I don't know if you've answered this before- but is it possible to be a "scientist" (in any field) and a "believer" (in any religion that says there is one entity that created everything as we know it)?

Anonymous asked: Devil's advocate time. You mentioned that we shouldn't trust scientific institutions funded by religious groups because they might have a motive.

Should we not trust Atheist scientists if it is known that they have a motive for disproving religion/God?

Anonymous asked: For the love of science, please stop answering anons and give it a rest today. All you're doing is showing that your love for disagreeing with people is greater than your love for the truth.

Anonymous asked: Your anon is bating you. One of the first key principals of science is that hypotheses can never be proven true. They can only be proven false.

Anonymous asked: Science cannot be proven true. This is a logical fact.

Anonymous asked: I love your blog! I am a fellow atheist who also hates religion, and I have a strong dislike for creationists, who disregard all evidence for a silly myth. Hopefully, as centuries pass, religion will be diminished and seen for what it really is, a lie.

forestofignorance asked: Regarding the most recent 'I missed the point' proof from anon, even IF the Vatican Observatory made a discovery, and with it expanded our knowledge of the universe, it would STILL be incorrect to think that any FUTURE research they did should be supported by anyone who actually understands the way science works. Science has to start from "I don't know", and given the vast...

Anonymous asked: "Have they provided any worth while scientific advancements that deserve recognition and credit?"
Your prejudice is showing. Doctors haven't cured AIDS yet; do these researchers who try to find a cure not deserve our support?

skunkitty asked: Your anon is an idiot.

Christian science is more like pseudoscience. They aren't looking for discoveries in general, they are looking for something very specific, despite there being no evidence for it (Creationism, for one). It's like, they have drawn a conclusion from the bloody Bible and then do whatever they can to show that their conclusion is right.

Anonymous asked: You really can't find anything positive to say about a scientific institution, just because it's funded by religion, can you?

Your blind hate has truly deluded you. To not agree with religion (or even to think it can have a negative effect on people) is fine, but you've actually fallen to a point where you HAVE to disagree with every word and action that a religion...

Spanish Atheist march banned in Easter Week →

So much for all of Europe being more accepting of Atheists than America. I love their justification that such a march could “provoke clashes”. Religious people getting out of hand when people disagree with their views? I can hardly imagine….
