If attempting to convert others to a religion became illegal tomorrow, how would you feel about it?

AxeElf comments on Jan 26, 2018:

It wouldn't affect me much personally, but I would think it was a stupid law. Why single out the "advertisement" of religion if you still allow everything else under the sun from floor wax to investment funds to be advertised? Caveat emptor.

engineer_in_nj comments on Jan 25, 2018:

my general attitude towards this if the afterlife does exist and really works that way I would be happier in hell. In any case you cant spend your life living with fear especially not with things you have no evidence of.

Does being a "hard line atheist" mean you believe in an accidental universe?

I’ve never believed in an accidental universe. I do believe that time and energy created this universe. So much more simple than a magic man who won’t present himself.

That is probably the most difficult question ever asked, .There may never have been a "true reason" for the existence of the universe, but it exists nonetheless, but you only need to look at the ridiculous male inhabitants to realise that god or natural selection fucked up

I once had a religious freak tell my cousin not to take her medicine anymore at her church because if she did hen she wasn’t trusting god fully. She told me about it and I told her to take her medicine for as long as her doctor tell her to. If god didn’t want her with any type of illnesses then he would have not allowed her to have any type of illness and she would not have to beg and or go on to depend on faith in the first place.

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 24, 2018:

I laughed cause she obviously failed to inderstand it’s hard to hate something you don’t believe exist that is coming from a man’s perspective point of view that is supposed to be god. It’s nothing more but a story between good and evil that people from the Bronze Age came up with to make sense of their belonging and the world around them, considering science or biology hadn’t advanced. I mean there used to be rain gods or they thought god was angry when it thunder or lightning back in those days. My laughter was mostly triggered by the fact that ever scared me years ago and how dumb I was to think god was love.

@Buddha ha ha ha she still responded to my YouTube comments, but I’ve yet to respond back. I refuse to waste good time of mine going back and forth with an idiot. Here’s my last conversation with her. I’m kitty shimmer bloom in the lost, by the way.

I became an atheist in 6th grade at my catholic school when I learned that eating meat on Friday was...

the church and religion are about control. There must have been money involved.

PeterJohn comments on Jan 21, 2018:

Basically Athiest means antitheist not believing in a supernatural diety,and unless you can provide evidence that it exists then I will continue to be an Athiest is what I would tell the christian troll.

That’s what I told her dumb ass. She still making comments and I’ve yet to respond to them cause I have better things to do with my time. I even blocked her so she could not come on my page.

MichaelSpinler comments on Jan 21, 2018:

here spray him with this

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 21, 2018:

Lol I like that.

What’s the worst cyber argument you’ve ever had?

Buddha comments on Jan 21, 2018:

I really make an effort to not debate with toxic people....

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 21, 2018:

Ha ha ha I did and I didn’t end well for them. They actually had the nerve to ask me if god doesn’t exist then why are there beliefs. I had to break it down to them and explain to them cause in the Bronze Age, people had little knowledge about science and how they came to be so they created gods & goddesses.

Why do people pull straw man arguments?

Stevil comments on Jan 21, 2018:

Ego?? Or possibly they work for snopes and are trying to get more hits for the website. I think straw man arguments helped get Cheeto elected

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 21, 2018:

Lol.

Why do people pull straw man arguments?

JimmyM comments on Jan 21, 2018:

Blimey! This the third thing on here tonight that i ha nt understood. What is a straw man argument?

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 21, 2018:

An argument set up to mislead the opponent then claim to have shut them down. It’s usually an argument the religious try to mislead an atheist by shutting hem down then claiming they’ve won.

BucketlistBob comments on Jan 21, 2018:

What's that?

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 21, 2018:

An argument someone tries to pull to mislead the opponent then easily try to shut them down.

Does your friends gift you religious books or souvenirs?

HippieChick58 comments on Jan 21, 2018:

My kids know better than to give anything like that. If I got a book it would go to the library or used book store. My stance is to accept, say the right thing which is usually "thank you," and then go on as I would be going on. What I do with the gift is not their business, but then I don't have ...

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 21, 2018:

Lmfao you and I got that in common. People know not to get me something like that.

Does your friends gift you religious books or souvenirs?

NerdyOkieDude comments on Jan 21, 2018:

If they do they’re going to get a book on science or philosophy in return. The difference being I will likely read the tripe they’ve gifted in their arrogance.

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 21, 2018:

Lol most religious people run away when I pull out one of those kinds of books.

Kojaksmom comments on Jan 21, 2018:

Yes, the bible does have literary value. My parents bought me a children's Bible. even in a children's Bible they had the story of the man who was going to give his virgin daughters away to be raped all night ..... at 52 when people talk to me about the Bible I still conjure up pictures of Adam and...

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 21, 2018:

Wtf! That kind of stuff in a children’s bible? That’s too much.

Donna_I comments on Jan 20, 2018:

I don't think I made it all the way through when I tried to read it so as a book of fiction I would give it a fail.

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 21, 2018:

It’s hideously boring.

I laughed out loud at these.

BucketlistBob comments on Jan 21, 2018:

Its confusing isn't it. Hmmm... glad im away from it now.

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 21, 2018:

Just think about all the ones that chose to die over this belief.

What do you think of this so called wanna-be know it all?

Druvius comments on Jan 20, 2018:

Couldn't even get past question one it was just such a painful straw man argument. Assume it went downhill from there. When you provide both sides of a debate, you can get any result you want.

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 20, 2018:

@Druvius I don’t care what they believe, either, but threatening someone is something I won’t stand for just because they don’t believe like them.

BawdyEclectic comments on Jan 20, 2018:

I grew up trying to make sense of it all thinking there was a kernel of truth. Now I see it for the book of moralistic fables it is. Job trumps Noah. I'll take an ark over god royally fucking with someone to test their faith.

EmeraldJewel replies on Jan 20, 2018:

The tearing of Abraham really got me. That one and story of a man’s daughter being sacrificed to god when he made a deal to have help win a war.

silvereyes comments on Jan 20, 2018:

Well, you could say evil vs. evil God really isn't all that benevolent. The question is, who is more evil??? ;)

Just some fun things I found floating around on the internet.

silvereyes comments on Jan 20, 2018:
