The Blaze Invites You to Ask Prominent Atheist Your Most Burning Questions
May 13, 2012 at 12:42pm
@CAFECONSERVATIVE:
“Given that these activists essentially put their full trust in science and the scientific method, how are they not merely persons of faith themselves?”
They don’t put their full trust in science and the scientific method in the first place. However, in trying to figure out how and/or why something happens in our universe, science and the scientific method has been shown to get results, whereas religious texts consistently get it wrong. So atheists put their trust in science because it works. No faith required. Even you trust science and don’t realize it. For example, let’s suppose you have been striken with Hansen’s disease(aka leprosy). For treatment, should you follow the Biblical passages prescribing sprinkling pigeon’s blood, or do you go to a doctor and take antibiotics? I’d take the treatment backed up with observations, experiments, peer reviews and proven results.
Atheists Offer $1,500 Reward After ‘Jesus Christ Is a Myth’ Sign Reportedly Stolen From IL Park
April 12, 2012 at 1:40am
Thank you. You stated a plain, obvious and simple fact that apparently doesn’t sink in to most readers here unless it was the Christian sign that got robbed instead. If that were the case, they wouldn’t hesitate to scream “Thou shalt not steal!”, rather than snicker and gloat.
Charity should remain in the church
April 11, 2012 at 2:11am
You’re arguing that charity should be constrained to the domain of religious institutions and communities. What about secular charities and aid organizations, such as Kiva.org, Doctors Without Borders, DonorsChoose.org, the Red Cross and Goodwill Industries?
And as for the notion you claim is false, that faith is imposed on the recipients of religious charities, it does have truth to it. One example off the top of my head is the refusal of some Salvation Army chapters to give out donated Harry Potter or Twilight toys to children, instead throwing them in the trash while citing the organization’s religious principles as reasons: http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2010/12/08/16478011.html

“If anyone knows about censorship and suppression, it’s you guys! You get Christian stuff taken down all the time. Is that not the same thing…?? Looks like the shoe is on the other foot now! Tell me, howz it feel?”
No, it’s not the same thing. They get taken down for *legal* reasons and we don’t take them away from groups they belong to. Did the theif get court approval to steal the sign?
‘We’re Antagonistic Toward Religious Belief’: Military Atheists Hold Army-Sponsored ‘Rock Beyond Belief’ Festival
April 1, 2012 at 2:04pm
Really? You realize that Rock Beyond Belief was started purely because the Rock The Fort events were blatantly breaking the First Amendment by endorsing, promoting and financially backing Christian proselytization on a government-run military base, right? They eventually had to allow RBB because if they didn’t, then they would open themselves to major First Amenedment lawsuits.

So if God wasn’t happy at atheists and sent a measly rain, then what about this? http://www.google.com/search?q=tornado+damaged+churches&hl=en&safe=off&pws=0&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&ei=Q5R4T-jKGYa20AH9_oGwDQ&sa=X&oi=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=2&ved=0CAsQ_AUoAQ&biw=1600&bih=729
What did those churches do to deserve *that*? Nothing, because rain and tornadoes are just natural(albeit destructive) processes, not “God’s will”.
Landmark Philly Priest Abuse Trial to Commence on Monday
March 29, 2012 at 2:49am
Wow. This article was published three days ago, and only three comments, compared to the article where everyone acted all “concerned” over a Tim Minchin song that denounced the very act this article described? The silence of The Blaze’s readership on this speaks volumes about their moral priorities.
The Blaze Goes Inside an Atheist Training Session: ‘We’re Going to Invade Capitol Hill’
March 29, 2012 at 2:11am
The Bible didn’t say “Question with boldness the very existence of God”. That was Thomas Jefferson, who like many other Founding Fathers, was a Deist: http://mydesultoryblog.com/2010/11/thomas-jeffersons-question-with-boldness-in-full-context/

So, in other words, even though God(as described in the Bible) is supposedly Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnibenevolent and Omnipresent, he will allow immense suffering to happen because he’s afraid of affecting others’ will? Then that means he is practically unreliable at best, and malevolent at worst. And what of the suffering and other events described as directly caused or ordered by God in the Bible? Sounds like he didn’t care about “free will” then. And the copout of “those who cause suffering will burn in Hell” doesn’t help your concept of God at all. Does it undo the suffering already caused? Do the perpetrators come out of Hell as better people? No! In fact, they don’t come out *at all*. So the concept of Hell is really to serve out malevolent, unjustified vengeance. Oh, and also according to the Bible, anyone who breaks any of the Commandments yet still believes will be called least… IN HEAVEN!(Matthew 5:19) Yet disbelief, regardless of the disbeliever’s moral character, works or deeds, is destined for eternal damnation.(Matthew 12:31-32)
Do you not see how this is morally bankrupt thinking? How it elevates gullibility as a virtue? I consider myself an agnostic atheist, meaning I’m open to the possibility of the existence of a deity contingent on evidence. But I’m *not* agnostic about the Abrahamic God or any other theistic gods you also don’t believe in.
