because it is just a piece of toast it is nothing special, and it wasn't made with hands, so why don't you make a thing on facebook like a group or a page or a event titled draw fsm day ?

Well, that's a rather pessimistic way to start a conversation.

Wanna talk about what's wrong with the world, when in reality, it's pretty goddamned awesome.

We live on the only planet that is known to support life. I mean, of all the planets we could have ended up on, we get the one that is just brimming with life and awesomeness... and here you are tryin' to hate, of course I should be a little more understanding as there's so much of it in your favorite book, poor baby, probably can't help yerself.

Try to be a little more up-beat, and love our wonderful world. Its not her fault she's full of assholes.

The fact that people use magical thinking instead of reason and logic, that people will deny reality that is right in front of their face, in favor of a fantasy that makes them feel good.

That people use these lies and fantasies as excuses to hate, kill, and control the lives of others, when in reality, they have no business doing so.

One of the biggest problems we have, is that there are a vast majority of people who choose to follow a book a fairytales written by superstitious, ignorant bronze age nomads, instead of thinking critically and actively testing their knowledge, throwing out ideas that don't stand up to trial and keeping the ones that do.

TL;DR: People being mentally lazy, superstitious idiots are the problem. Learning critical thinking, logic, and reason are the best possible solutions.

then how do you explain that atheist tend to hate kill and control other people, and be violent by far more than christians anyways, so your talking about the koran as being a book of fairy tales right ? well I agree with you there.
and to me people like that believe in evolution believe in magic and superstitions and lies I like this picture it says what evolutionist believe in http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=1&theater

Ah, that photo presents a kind of argument known as a "Straw man". It presents a false assumption about shared beliefs among atheists, when all atheists share is a lack of belief in a god or gods.

And please do not try to twist my words, as the Bible and the Koran are equally invalid when it comes to understanding the universe in which we live in a realistic manner.

Your entire argument is poorly constructed, and reflects a lack of ability to think clearly. Are you sure you're up to the challenge of talking about this in a reasonable and open minded manner?

well that is what atheists believe , if you don't believe that then your not a atheist, and the bible is the best book there is in understanding the universe in a realistic manner, just read it sometime. Also the koran is a invalid book and a fairy tale

That's a "No true Scotsman" argument. If you know how to read and use a dictionary, you'd know that the only thing that makes one an atheist is a lack of belief in a god or gods. To say otherwise is breaking your commandment against lying.

So, you say "the bible is the best book there is in understanding the universe in a realistic manner", what makes you say that?

I've told you repeatedly about atheists, I can't help that you're either a liar or just plain stupid.

The Bible is, the Sagas are, the Bhagavad Gita is, the Koran is, by the argument presented they're all true, what makes your book so special? You're going to have to do better than that.

Pothead - To sum up YOUR belief the same way that image alledgedly sums up atheism:
There is this man in the sky. He wasn't created by anything or anyone, he was just there forever, and there is no before him, because we can't explain that, so that's just the fucking way it is.
He has always been there. One day, he just decided to create some shit by uttering a few words and doing nothing really actively about it, yet he grew so tired from uttering these few words that he had to sleep for the rest of the day when he created just a small part of the shit he wanted to create.
All of a sudden, he decided that life needed to be there, so all of a sudden, it was there with no reasonable explanation other than this man in the sky saying it was so.
Then he decided to put creatures who looked like him down there to rule and stuff, but even though there were only two of them, he didn't have enough focus to keep them from eating from a single tree in a motherfucking huge garden.
So when these intelligently challenged individuals listened to another one of his mishap creations, he decided to punish them with pain, suffering and death because he didn't bother to put a fence around the two forbidden trees in his garden.
