Really?
Because I get plenty of "burr who da what?" when I mention I'm Jewish.
I have noticed quite a few atheists, in my life, who think that some how they are treated different from any other group in the world, as though all other religions get together and hang out, but don't invite the atheists. It just don't work that way.

--- Quote from: BreakAtmo on 04 Jan 2009, 22:39 ---This is exactly what I discussed in my earlier post, apparently rather pointlessly. The big difference between a Christian (or any follower of a religion) saying "My religion is right" and an atheist saying "No it isn't, atheism is right" is that the atheist has logic and reason to back up what they say

:-D
So, it's logical to conclude, based on what we monkeys have seen on an infinitely small chunk of rock in a vast, possibly infinite Universe, that there is no sort of higher power anywhere, period?
:roll:
Evander:
I'm an agnostic because I don't pretend to know things that I don't know. :-P

Classic example a few months ago:
I was chatting with a girl at my university and she is Muslim. stuff like that really doesn't really draw my attention (country is literally a multicultural society. lol, ask Nelson Mandela). So she was saying how shitty it is being profiled. Mind you she doesn't wear any of the garbs and such. Its her title, Mohammed. In the conversation she stops and says "being a hindu, does that happen often to you?" I laugh and simply say I'm an atheist, and I swear its like alarms went off in her head. For the next few days she was all storm and brimstone. If you could draw thought balloons over my head, "WTF??" would be read.
I asked her why she pouncing on me so? She was all, I'm eternally sinning and all sorts of stuff. By day 3 t got a bit nasty. I told her it was getting really old, beating an old dead horse and all. Can't we agree to disagree? She was convinced I was going to hell.
I suppose in my country things are still very traditional and atheists are still an alien concept. infact aliens would be quicker accepted than atheists.
JonSnow:
it's not wrong to believe in God, Jahwe, Allah, or any other religion. Also it's not wrong to not believe. It's only wrong to not keep an open mind to other peoples believes even if they differ from yours. You need to accept them for who they are.
