Real deep linda, real deep. You sure do say a whole lot, but certainly don't have the ability to make any of these facts relevant to a 21st century man. Only a theist could take a thing that is complex and make it shallow and vague. How about you get a clue, so we can have real discussions that actually get us somewhere? Do you know what I mean? Do you know why an atheist is a better person? An atheist takes real world problems, and solves them with real world solutions.
Abortion
war
stem cell research
death penalty
reliance on technology
These are all real world problems, in which religion has no business being involved in. Abortion is wrong because god says so has to be the most intellectually bankrupt excuse I ever heard. It is equivalent to a child taking a reading comprehension test and writing in Bible quotes for the answer.
It is no coincidence that every theist (not including agnostics like Helio, Fangrim and the like) on this messageboard have a hard time comprehending any of the posts that go on in god threads. Dhtmstr, logan, loser etc have not the slightest clue what is going on, yet the debate is constantly being bogged down by their lack of reasoning. Most of the time its the others correcting them with simple things like definitions and basic facts. I have no problem with correcting them and guiding them to the right answer, but when they respond they act like you are crazy and make even more claims without reasoning or evidence.
