• ‘God Is an Imaginary Friend’: Atheist Billboard Ignites Controversy in Colorado

  If only that bore any relationship to reality, it’d be a good comment.

  For a belief to be a religion, it has to include faith. Atheism has no faith in anything that cannot be proven. The existence of God and particularly things like the Resurrection and the afterlife are not proven, and have no empirical evidence to support them. Thus, faith comes into play. You have FAITH that God exists, that Christ is the Lord and Savior, and if you follow Him you’ll go to heaven when you die.

  Atheists say “Eh…no proof. Sorry, I can’t accept that.” That’s it. Geez, I’m not even an atheist and I know this.

  Some atheists are jerks about their atheism, but a lot of them come by it honestly – they feel persecuted and hounded by the constant barrage of religion they get in every day life, particularly in politics. You know, like the way Christians claim they are persecuted and hounded for their beliefs (We make up 80% of the country, and you can‘t hardly get elected to office if you’re not a Christian, but we’re persecuted. Gotcha.)

  So you think there’s no value in trying to teach kids to be decent to each other?

  Yes, stand up for yourself, unless you’re gay. Then you’re trying to Destroy America (TM).
