Absolutely - Working is fine, but to hang out there all day submitting nonsense on the company computer when you are supposed to be working isn't really kosher! :lol:

What I get a kick out of is the bizarre logic of your standard run-of-the-mill atheist in stating that group-think in religion is bad, butt group-think in their ideology is good.

It's good for a chuckle at very least

I guess the truth lies in the fact there are people who curse God when shit happens, but don't give him much thought for their good fortunes!

Consistency! Maybe that's a quality that ignorant meat heads can take pride in.................if sickos can take pride! :)

Who decided what a "standard run-of-the-mill atheist" is?

Most alleged atheists (the noisy ones anyhow) are religious folk who feel betrayed by Gawd and are throwing a tantrum, like a jilted girl raving about what a jerk her ex-boyfriend is.

Real atheists simply see no evidence of this alleged higher being, and are amused by the intellectual tangle of string that qualifies as theology.

Was just being snarky

Both groups you have identified are (obviously) free to believe what they wish (and practice it accordingly), I really don't have any issues with that in any way.

What becomes annoying is the Jehovah Witness style sermonizing and conversion activities.

... For the record, I hold the same derision for those religious groups that act so piously and attempt to push their agenda on everyone

( Real atheists!) They have been created and exist in this creation of unknowable orientation or cause and yet cannot admit to that higher power of numerous descriptions. These are the real stupid. And now the unenlightened rabble will point to a Big Bang event, that most famous creation fable of the last century and swear on thier mothers grave that they are atheists. If you are here then you have been created/generated and you occupy form and space and that state demands a creator/mechanism/ God.

But homo sapiens were genetically engineered by aliens from a more primitive form of humanoid. Was that in gawd's plan? Gawd does work in mysterious ways, eh?
I am more of the belief that the Universe created itself and we are just a hallucination of the Universal being. At the same time, what we experience as reality is a holographic projection of our own minds. That is one of the reasons I cannot take anybody on CC seriously. I realize that they are just my mind playing with itself, kinda like a Monty Python skit. Highly entertaining and amusing. Those that take themselves seriously are just reflections of parts of my own personality that haven't been fully retracted from the Matrix. They make me laugh a lot because they don't realize they are only figments of my fertile imagination.
