Still spelled wrong.

And wait... are you suggesting that the existence of atheists is a myth or that atheism is a myth?

Well, atheists exist. So, that's no myth.

And since atheism is the lack of belief in any sort of mythological deity, being, or otherwise... well... I'd say that you're pretty much just bashing your head against a wall here.

Athesm = there is no god. What myth is there here? It's an oxymoron. May as well be "post here if you don't buy the evolution myth"

Oh no, I'm not falling into that nonsense. My beliefs are strong enough without people's approval and thus I don't need a thread for that.

Besides, he's not really worth that much effort.

I don't believe that there is a such thing as an atheist. Deep down all men are aware that God exists. "It has been written on the heart of men, the existence of God" (or something like that)

I don't believe that there is a such thing as a true believer. Deep down all men are aware that gods, angels, demons and leprechauns are myths. Frankly, it's just to frightening for some to comprehend and so gods and other fanciful supernatural creatures are created to bring order to their confused minds.

It's a crutch, so one doesn't have to face the often cruel facts of life...and finality of death.

I AM A TRUE BELIEVER!!! BELIEVE THAT!!! It does make life easier to know their is a purpose for me in life...but how can you say that anyone who practices religion does so to escape from the hardships of life and death?

I know life is hard, very hard if you want to succeed, and that I wil eventually die, never more to walk this earth. Then, I will have an afterlife with God if I have been selfless during my life or to live in some form of eternal pain and torment if I've been selfish. Faith is not so much a crutch as a giant wieght tied to ones ankles.

If anything atheism is a crutch. It allows you the freedom to live life to its fullest with no fear of retrabution after death.

Some would argue that religion is a crutch, a way of looking away from hard facts and evidence and living your life free of any kind of responsibility.

If something good happens, it's God's gift. If something bad happens, it's God's will.

There's no truth behind any of it, it's all a facade that you construct so you don't have to look at the unpleasantness of life.

If you live life to the fullest, what fear should you have of retribution?

That is how the hard core religous fanatiocs look at their faith. Not me. God gave us free will. I, not God, have the responsibility to make my life good or bad. And I hardly ever pray for myself when I pray to God. I can handle the unpleasentness of life on my own.

Because that's what religion gives you. You push the reality of life's hardships into the back of your mind by concentrating on how lovely the next life will be. When things get bad you just say "god has a plan for me", or "god works in mysterious ways" and then push it all aside so you dont have to worry about it..."it's in gods hands ". It's easier for your mind to accept things that way, instead of facing the hard cold fact that sometimes life throws you curve balls.

See....your doing it now. Telling yourself how wonderful things will be after you die...if your a good boy. It sounds just as crazy to me as muslims dieing so they can meet the 12 dark eyed virgins.

Exactly...and thats a beautiful thing! Ya see, it's not a crutch because I'm not leaning on some fairytale for support. Atheists are crutch-free. :lol:

I don't fear superstitions and folk stories. You are insinuating that atheists live some kind of immoral life or something, but that just your misconceptions (and preachers) talking in your head.

Atheists just don't believe in gods/demons/fairies/etc. Nothing more.
