Please........ you came into this thread and on the sixth post, with all previous posts being neutral said, "a lot of atheists arent very nice people..."

I could keep typing but i'll just refer you back to my first post.

 

 

yeah...the post where you go off topic to attack religious people in an attempt to prove my point.  you had nothing to contribute to the topic and did not have a rebuttal so fell back on what most atheists do best...try to attack someone else.

Whether he did exactly what you said doesn't matter. If you weren't the first one to throw a punch then he probably wouldn't have ventured there himself.

yes, the religion of a candidate is not really a factor for me.

And you didn't attack anyone? The first thing you did here was attack us atheists saying that a lot of us weren't nice people, before anyone had said anything negative. You shouldn't criticize what others do if you're the first one who does it

Could you refrain from generalizing all atheists and insulting all of us?  Or are you too grumpy now?

Sure?

Better that that filthy deist Abe Lincoln.

I don't believe half the people elected to the government actually do believe in the stuff they say they do anyway... unless they've got a super secret playbook that I don't have access to.

@Mr Bubbles: I addressed the topic in my first post, stating that i would like to keep religion and state separate, meaning i don't care if the head of state is religious or atheist but it should not unduly affect their policies.

I was at least polite enough to say that religious people "CAN be........" rather than falling to gross generalisations.

I find it curious that SOME religous people feel it is ok to 'attack' atheists, but if an atheist person 'attacks' someone of religion they are deemed to be religiously insensitive. Religious people don't have a monopoly on being sensitive about their beliefs.

I think it'll be atleast 20 years before an Atheist would stand a chance in a U.S. presidential election (not saying win, just have a chance to win).

But among western Democracies, the U.S. would be the notable stand out. In most other countries, it would only be a deal breaker amongst more conservative or religious parties. In Canada, it wouldn't matter if the Liberals or NDP ran an atheist, because the only people that would care about it would probably already be voting conservative anyways.

Not that i don't doubt you... but does any country other then the US...even have an Atheist politican elected to an office or ever has?   I mean i'm sure they probably do, i've just found no info on it.

The US... has at least one Atheist congressman though, so i don't think it's as big a deal as people make it out to be.
