Again, exactly. They change the facts to fit their imaginary stories, instead of changing their stories to fit the facts. They let their narrative lead them to 'evidence' versus letting actual scientific evidence lead them to a real, true narrative.
It is funny that there are laws all over protecting religions but what about a law protecting people FROM religions? Religion should be something you choose in later life, not something you are forced to endure because all the generations before did or because you are to scared to leave (or would be killed by some if you did).
There is a simple natural law to live by that needs no god to follow. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. It applies to virtually every scenario (although the sick and twisted pedos would find some way to justify what they do still).
Exactly. Imagine if everyone in the world could just follow 'The Golden Rule'. As unashamed as I am to be an atheist, it's hilarious that, because atheism is technically a form of minority, we get judged so much by followers of religious doctrine and yet we're seen as the evil 'judgement bringers'.
Because those with a religion are usually the first to point fingers and blame anyone else rather than look in their own backyard for the problems of the world.
Exactly. One of the many reasons it's hard to celebrate with family this Sunday who believe in an imaginary holiday about an imaginary friend. The Easter Bunny and his eggs are blasphemous....but talking snakes and storing two of every animal on a wooden boat to avoid terrible flooding is fine.

What does this have to do with anything? We're not all Christians here if that's what you think.

Ah, but you see, atheists doesn't have a book that says it is wrong so nothing is keeping them from doing it./s
Psychopaths rape children. And psychopaths come from all religions and ethnicities.

All the athiests I know don't need a fictional book to tell them what is right or wrong. They figured that out by themselves.
I wonder why 'thou shall not rape a child' was not one of the 10 commandments? Most of those seem more concerned about property.

My thoughts EXACTLY. Imaginary friends and fairy tales are for children who don't know any better.

And those who want a convenient scapegoat for the things they do.
