It's crazy that a group of people that don't believe in something try so hard to spread their message of non-belief.

If God doesn't exist, then wouldn't it be prudent not to worry about 'spreading the message'? It's not like a belief in God actually hurts anyone, or anything, or is detrimental to ones health.

It's not crazy, realists just don't like seeing people in a state of what seems like delusion. Don't stereotype all atheists as realists though, many many atheists have delusional ideas just as much as religious people.

If God doesn't exist, then whatever you want to do is your own choice. If spreading atheism is what one wants to do, then that's their choice.

Now, where do you get this idea that belief in god doesn't hurt anyone, anything, or isn't detrimental to health?

The idea of God does do harm. If you deny that you're delusional. Some people think God's on their side, thus causing them to do horrible things and feel good about themselves. I'm not saying all religious people are like this, but some are, and that's the problem, it DOES do harm.

Also, what kind of health? Mental health? Let's not even go there...

Physical health? Haven't you heard of all the cases of people who are harmed by religious beliefs that are centered around god? Go do a google search. Better yet, look here: http://whatstheharm.net/

 

 

so.... what you are saying is that people that mass murder and say that god told them to is your example of how the believe in god hurts our sosciety? ever heard of schizophrenia.... it wouldnt matter if the believe in god was there for that... they could just as well say that the "voises" told them to do it....

 

 

 But the idea of god makes people more likely to think the voices are valid.

But I'm not only talking about people who are actually crazy and hear voices. I'm talking about perfectly sane people who think god answered their prayers when they just got lucky or waited long enough, and things of that nature.

I don't really have a problem with the idea of god when someones idea of god isn't bullshit, but when someone's idea of god involves prayer, faith, or worship, it does harm by degrading their logic.

Didn't you just get all of your posts deleted because you were afraid your friends were going to find out about these very intolerant views?

 

 

It was actually for sexual stuff not intolerant stuff... Sexual stories I didn't need my friends hearing.
