I understand how he feels. The thing is he is basically saying that an atheist will always be an atheist and a religious person will always be religious. This is probably true of the dogmatic zealots who have closed their mind to alternate though, but it is not all true. I am an atheist, but have not always been an atheist. I was raised Jewish. I realized the folly of religion(on my own) and simply stopped believing. I sometimes try to give my religious friends a little nudge now and then because religious people CAN become atheists and I don't think its a waste of time.
"Religion isn't the cause of fear and ignorance"You are attempting to take the debate up an intellectual level above the them vs us fights and yet you get digged down. Typical Digg."Yes it is"Eh? Ignorance is the natural state that we are all born into. Fear is a natural reaction to unknown dangers. How the f**k is religion the cause of either? Both would exist whether religion did or not and did so long before. Not that the f**ked up views of some muslims is helping but it's not the root cause. Stop talking crap and using one example to proof a definitive answer.
"If you choose to be atheist, just shut your mouth. "Don't you superstitious asswipes just HATE it when people don't obey you? f**k you, I'll tell you your superstitions are nonsense anytime, anywhere.-jcr
