People Wonder Why An Atheist Is An Atheist

I get emails all the time. Some people tell me I'm doing a good job or that they like my blog. I get religious people telling me I'm wrong about God, but I usually argue with them to the point that they stop emailing me.
Someone just emailed me a few days ago and asked how I can be an Atheist instead of being an Agnostic, in other words, how do I know for sure there isn't a God?.....it is unanswerable as to whether God exists or not, so why not just be Agnostic?

My reply:
I think the term atheist is just a term for strong agnostic. As you say, I can't disprove that God exists, just like I can't disprove that there aren't 50 Gods. In fact, I can't disprove that my dog isn't
God.
However, from everything I see, there is absolutely no proof that God ever existed or needed to exist. Science explains almost everything, and in the near future I am confidant that it will explain everything
about abiogenesis to the beginning of the universe. The concept of God is created by man's need to give genuine purpose to
our existence, and to give us hope of eternal life in many cases.

Coincidentally, another reader, Mark, sent me a link to this short video narrated by Richard Dawkins. Enjoy The Teapot Atheist. This compliments my reply to my other reader:


It is only when believers actually give God characteristics (or a personality) or give God credit for doing specific things, that one can disprove God's characteristics or personality, or actions.

For example, if a believer says that God created man less than 10,000 years ago, science has proved that wrong. The same goes with the Ark story.

And of course there are many contradictions when it comes to God's personality. Loving and vengeful tend to conflict a tad, for example.

Generally speaking, believers are very vague about God. And lets not forget there are over 3000 Gods out there, each are either very different or slightly different from the next. Remember what Dawkins says, every believer is an Atheist when it comes to all the other Gods and teapots that exist or existed in the minds of others.

MUSLIMS IN THE STREETS (THE SONG)

Green Helmet Song: I Just Had To Do It

Normally, I like to write my own parodies, however, when I saw this at Green Helmet Guy's very funny blogsite, I decided to grab the bull by the horns. I hope I am forgiven for stealing one of his photoshop pics too. Enjoy:


LYRICS

Green Helmet is the guy to see
Dead babies for your news TV
He’ll set it up to show his side
Damn Israelis, engaging in genocide

o/~ Qana is where you’d rather go
He’ll pull the plug if you don’t show
He just creates such tragic scenes.
Truth doesn’t matter just get him on TV screens

...The Jews

...No news!

...Dead child

...Go wild!

You are a dupe...

Farewell to the truth!

Green Hel-met Guy is heeeere!


Thanks to Zionist Jordan for finding me Green Helmet Guy's site.

THE USA IS ISLAMIC WHEN IT COMES TO EVOLUTION

A recent survey of the United States and European countries (hey what happened to Canada?) found that the United States ranked 33 out of 34 when it came to accepting evolution. Turkey, which is 99% Muslim ranked 34.

“American Protestantism is more fundamentalist than anybody except perhaps the Islamic fundamentalist, which is why Turkey and we are so close,” said study co-author Jon Miller of Michigan State University.

It seems that more Americans have become doubters from both camps over the last 20 years:

The study found that over the past 20 years:

* The percentage of U.S. adults who accept evolution declined from 45 to 40 percent.
* The percentage overtly rejecting evolution declined from 48 to 39 percent, however.
* And the percentage of adults who were unsure increased, from 7 to 21 percent.

This could be possibly due to demographic changes. Immigrants who have come to America who don't believe in evolution to children being taught at home by parents who are ignorant when it comes to science.

The shift of those who rejected evolution and now don't know, could be due to the Catholic church's stance that ID is crap, combined with the fact that it is impossible to watch the Discovery Civilization channel or the National Geographic channel on TV and think evolution is garbage.

There are liberal Muslims who believe in evolution, but from what I've found in my internet searches is that even though there is a broad spectrum of beliefs about evolution and an ancient earth amongst Muslims, most do not accept it. This person's comments from Answers.com are what I believe is the most popular Muslim view on evolution(I think this was written by a kid):

No, we don't believe in evolution, but we do believe the world is that old. We do believe there was life before humans, like dinosaurs and the other fossils and that the first life was in water. Noone really knows the exact time of Adam and Huwwa (Eve), but there is a rough figure from hints in the Quran and Hadith (sayings of Muhammad) of a little over 10,000 years ago. The Quran and the rest of Islam actually encourages growth of knowledge, unlike some other religions....

So it looks like Ann Coulter and Muslims do have something in common.

To my Fundy readers, if you want to learn about evolution, please check out the short movies at this site. And that goes for Ms. Coulter as well.

Time To Play STUMP THE ANTI-ZIONIST

Ok, that is a quick video. The chant is "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Sahyun... Hezbollah Qadimun..." This means "Khaybar Khaybar O Zionists... Hezbollah is Coming..."

What is significance of Khaybar you might ask? A place in Saudi Arabia? What the heck does that have to do with Lebanon and Israel?

From Wikipedia:

The Battle of Khaybar (Arabic: معركة خيبر‎) was fought in the year 629 between Muhammad and his followers against the Jews living in Khaybar, an oasis located 150 kilometers (95 miles) from Medina in the area of Hejaz of the western part of the Arabian peninsula in what is nowadays Saudi Arabia. Contemporary scholars believe that Muhammad moved to attack Khaybar in order to raise his prestige among his followers, as well as to capture booty to sustain subsequent conquests.[1][2]
****************************
Conquests? You mean to say that Muslims conquered land. But I thought you anti-Zionists say that Jews conquered Palestine.


The battle ended with Muhammad's victory, which allowed him to gain sufficient money, weapons, and support from local tribes to capture Mecca just 18 months after Khaybar.[3]
*****************************
And this was just part of a bigger conquest? But, but.

The defeated Jews were reduced to serfdom.
****************************
Serfdom? I don't know what that is, but I doubt it has anything to do with beaches, waves, and chicks in bikinis.


They surrendered on condition of paying tribute to Muhammad and giving up all their land to Muslims. Some scholars hold that this agreement did not cover the Banu Nadir tribe, which had sought refuge in Khaybar after their expulsion from Medina, and that the Muslims beheaded all the men of Banu Nadir, sparing only the lives of the Khaybarian Jews.[4] But this issue is contentious. Jews continued to live in the oasis for several more years until they were finally expelled by caliph Umar.
*****************************
Jews gave THEIR land to Muslims? The UN didn't even make Muslims give up their land to Jews when they came up with the partition.

The imposition of tribute upon the conquered Jews served as a precedent for provisions in the Islamic law requiring the exaction of tribute known as jizya from dhimmis, i.e. non-Muslims under Muslim rule, and confiscation of land belonging to non-Muslims into the collective property of the Muslim community.
*******************************
Jewish owned land became Muslim state land. That didn't even happen when Israel was created, Muslim owned land was not to be affected by the partition.

So this is what the idiotic blood lusting terrorists of Hezbollah are chanting? They are celebrating in chant the fact that Jews had their land taken by conquerers.
Isn't this what the Palestinians (albeit falsely) have been bitching about for 58 years? Isn't this what they claim the Jews did to the Palestine region? And some Moonbats wonder why I call Arab terrorists, their supporters, and other enablers, ASSMONKEYS.

It is funny that Arabs have to go back over 1300 years to find a victory over the Jews to sing about.

By the way, mention this story to a Paliphile, and they will laugh it off.
