You may be a fundy atheist if....

You can make the existence of pink unicorns,sky pixels, Santa clause, and
leprechauns the center-piece of a philosophical critique.


You believe that planes, computers, calculators, compasses, etc, were "all
obviously designed," yet the human body, being intricately more complex was
"obviously a product of biological evolution." It seems the more complex the
apparatus, the more obvious the "fact" that it was not designed.

You think it's entirely possible for documents dated to the 10th century to
have been forged in the 14th.

You think that the Declaration of Independence is unconstitutional because
it mentions "the creator".

When you use a historical point to prove Christianity is false then history
is objective truth. When a Christian uses real historical scholarship to
prove you false, history was written by subjective men and therefore cannot
be trusted.

You think that religious wars have killed more people than any other kind of
war, even though the largest wars of the last 200 years (World War I and II,
Civil War, etc.) had no discernable religious causes.

You're convinced that people only believe in God because they're afraid of
going to hell...despite the fact that if there is no God, then there's
probably no hell either.

You deface money by scribbling God off of dollar bills.

You think God was cruel for killing all of those innocent babies in the
flood, and that Christians are cruel for opposing a woman's right to abort
her baby.


You believe that nativity scenes should be banned from public view, but that
anyone objecting to pornography only has to look the other way.


You think marriage is an obsolete fundy institution - except for
homosexuals.

You believe that gender roles are the product of Christian patriarchy, but
homosexuals are born that way.


When you go to bookstores, you move all the Bibles to the "fiction" section.
You then proceed to move copies of The DaVinci Code to the "non-fiction"
shelves.

If someone says 'God Bless' when you sneeze, you make them 'take it back!'

Although you are a 'free-thinker' and 'rational' person, you lose all reason
when reading The Bible.

You go to work on Christmas and instead take Halloween off.

Err, you cannot abort a baby. By the way, Christians are more likely to

A bit of an important difference. Its sad that some people are too
stupid to
grasp that point.

The widdle fundy fool also doesn't get that his " point " applies

bible...

Well, religious wars and upheavals killed on a mostly ongoing basis.
But,
as to the question of which killed more, thats an open question.

One might suggest that some of the recent civil wars have a religious
component, such as in the former Yugoslavia.

I've seen suggestions that they not be placed on public lands/spaces,
but that theres no issue with them being on private lands/spaces, and
religiously owned ones.

I rather go the other way, in fact. I oppose most of the modern social
trends that have diminished the meaning of marriage. Just for non
religious reasons, though.

Me, neither. In fact, my view that pretty much anyone can become an
atheist
is quite the opposite of what the fundy fool is claiming.

Well, my personal copies of the bible are in my personal home
library's fiction
section. But, thats as far as that goes. Though, I will confess that I
have, from
time to time, turned Ann Coulter books in stores backside facing.

I use several versions, usually a shorter " bless you " or
"ghesuntheit ".

While I admit that I often finds bits of the bible to be funny when I
read them,
I don;t find them funny enough to, say, spew a drink. That reaction
needs a
Robin Williams class bit, and the writers of the bible weren't that
good.

So you posit an infinitely *more* complex designer, one who has always

In April 2007, foster mother Eunice Spry was sentenced to 14 years in
prison for abusing children in her care. She beat the youngsters with
metal bars and made them eat vomit. On Saturday, in our first extract
from a new memoir, one of Spry's victims, ALLOMA GILBERT, revealed how
she survived her ordeal. Here, in the final part, she describes how
Spry allowed her to be sexually abused - and the bitter-sweet moment
her tormentor was brought to justice...

Why the hell would I take Halloween off work?

Anyway, you don't get classed as fundy theist until you start
projectile spittling while ranting, and probably start shooting at
people or suicide bombing. Strikes me as a double standard on that
fundamentalist label.
Fundy Muslim might poke your eyes out for looking at his wife, and
that's OK, 'cos it's his religion. "Fundy" atheist might tell you
something you didn't want to know about the history of your precious

What you fail to notice is that planes and computers don't reproduce.
And quite frankly, yes. Beyond a certain point, comlpexity goes

No, I think public money shouldn't go towards religious displays and

No, marriage is a human convention that predates religion and has it's

married couples should be made available to non-conventional partners.

No. Gender roles are NOT culturally sourced. Weird arse new-age

Nobody is a fundamentalist atheist. Atheism is purely about not believing
in God/any gods. That's it. Zippo else.

Trouble is: You godbotherers can't keep your stupidity and ignorance to
yourselves like you know you should. Rather than slink into a corner and
just be ignorant and stupid, you'd rather make a virtue of it, so you
make up all sorts of strawmen and outright lies as an excuse. Actually,
atheists as you see them are your own strawmen, they are not us, and they
don't exist.

Just out of curiosity, how many books do you have in your home? Do
you go to bookstores, or the library? How many books a year do you
read?

I see Atheists as good honest decent people that think the notion of God is

It is that simple. Unfortunately, you cannot handle reality. It is a

they see it, that is what makes you a special kind of idiot.

You want to be covincing?

They think telling them where to shove the bullshit they never stop

The Declaration of Independence can neither be "constitutional" nor
"unconstitutional" as it is not a law passed under this (the second, by
the way) government of the United States.

As an institution?, a cultural one...no. As a legal one, yes. It is

The Declaration of Independence is neither constitutional
nor unconstitutional for at least three reasons:

-- it was written before the Constitution existed.

-- it has no force of law, being merely an interesting
historical document.

-- it was not issued by the government of the United
States, as there was neither a United States nor
any government thereof at the time.

It is that simple. Unfortunately, you cannot handle reality. It is a
common failing. That you attack others who can tell bulllshit when
they see it, that is what makes you a special kind of idiot.

You want to be covincing?

(1)Define God.

Creator of all that you can see, feel,touch and experience

(2)Prove that that definition is not a logical paradox

Your man made expirements and science proves this every day

(3)Show proof that differs from the other ten thousand dieties man
has worshipped

Now you make a paradox. Worship, and religion in general, is man made,
neither has anything to do with God.

OK Now you do have a point. You are the first theist to actually seem
to rise to this challange, despite your otherwise rude behavior, I can
respect that. Now readress the question with the word "believed"
replacing "worshiped." I will no longer use that word, it was a
weakness in my argument.

Now if you are not going for the Christian Triune, but rather the
Deistic model...there's not much I can do. While I believe their logic
to be incomplete, I have a lot of respect for Deists, and consider
them closer to my mindset, agnostic atheist, than the majority of
humanity. Christians including the subset of JWs, are just tribal
primitives pointing to obvoiusly man made fairy tales.

He's a typical Jehovahs Witless. They all follow the same path. They know
they'll get their asses kicked but keep coming back for more. It reaffirms
their belief everyone hate's them.

Prove that your God does not:

2) hate all people of blind faith, sending them to hell.

This is not our responsibility. "God" is your claim. All we say is "I
don't believe you." Instead of asking for proof of nogod, supply some
evidence for the god you say exists. Pretty trees and chirping birds are
not evidence of any god. Nor is the complexity of the eye. I asked a guy
for evidence once, and all he could come up with was Bishop Eusebius's
fraudulent addition to Josephus. If you want to prove your god exists,
pray for something. Not something that's going to happen anyway, but
something that only a god could do. Like sudden instantaneous world peace.
Or an amputated limb to grow back. These things could apparently happen in
bible time. But as soon as the bibletime ended and reality took over, the
miracles stopped happening. Very suspect, no?

Adman--does your statement immediately above extend to your own
opinions? In other words, was the list "You! just ! may be a
fundamentalist atheist if ...." your own original questions, or did
you decide to just "agree with others?"

Also, I just found a copy of the Pete Hamil (sp?) essay "End Game",
which we spoke of very briefly. If you didn't find a copy, let me
know, if I can email it to you.

Maybe thinking is too hard for you. The Declaration of Independence
was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4th, 1776.

The Constitution of the United States was adopted on September 17,
1787, and ratified on June 21, 1788.

Since the DoI was written and adopted 12 years before the Constution,
and is not in fact any sort of law, it cannot be unconstitutional.

It's Santa Claus. And we use them because they work in arguing about
of entities that are similarly invisible, silent, and not overly
present.

The important difference is nothing in your first group is alive. We
can leave our laptops in the same bag for a week, and we aren't going
to find a baby USB drive one morning.

We know how life evolves, we have the mechanism, and can reproduce it
in the lab.

>You think it's entirely possible for documents dated to the 10th century to

Ever hear of Han van Meegeren?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_van_Meegeren

To make sure his paintings (mostly painted in the 1920s and 30s)
passed for works by Dutch masters of the 17 century he made paints in
the old style used in the period. He acquired canvases from museums
that had been used as backings in other paintings. So testing showed
that his Vermeers and Borches were of the proper age.

So yeah, completely possible.

>You think that the Declaration of Independence is unconstitutional because

LOL! Explain to me in detail, how a document adopted 12 years before
the Constitution became the supreme law of the land, a document that
is not intended to serve any legal purpose other than informing His
Royal Majesty, George III, that we were no longer his subjects.

Please, explain this, and then cite any attempt by anyone in any court
to get the DoI declared unconstitutional.

We generally have better sources, and multiple ones.

Right. Hitler had no religious hang-ups at all.

Well, that's circular. And you're wrong. People believe in gods for
many reasons, fear of punishment is only one of them.

Never done that in my life. Why bother?

There was no global flood. And there is a difference between
triggering a near-extinction event and making a difficult personal
choice.

>You believe that nativity scenes should be banned from public view, but that
>anyone objecting to pornography only has to look the other way.

Wrong. I have no problem which churches or private citizens putting up
nativity scenes on their own property. What I object to is such
displays on public property.

If a pornographic display was in front of City Hall, I'd object to
that too. However, porno is something you have to seek out and
acquire. It is designed to be enjoyed in solitude (or with a partner)
for personal gratification.

Understand the difference?

>You think marriage is an obsolete fundy institution - except for
>homosexuals.

Again, LOL!! I'm about 2 months from my 17th marriage anniversary. I
think marriage is a wonderful thing both from a personal and legal
perspective. That's why I support allowing any consenting adults to
enter into it, regardless of gender.

You have a good, legal, argument against same-sex marriage?

>You believe that gender roles are the product of Christian patriarchy, but
>homosexuals are born that way.

No, I don't believe that. I believe that societies reinforce the
traditional roles that they see for girls and boys. Luckily, with
increased literacy and communications, options open up for both
genders.

I know many gay men and women. Not one chose to be gay. Most of them,
at one point or another, suffered for being different.

>When you go to bookstores, you move all the Bibles to the "fiction" section.

I have too much respect for bookstore workers to do that. Besides, I
usually make a bee-line for the science fiction section.

>If someone says 'God Bless' when you sneeze, you make them 'take it back!'

No, I say either "Thank you" or "Excuse me."

>Although you are a 'free-thinker' and 'rational' person, you lose all reason

Nope. In fact, rational thought is the reason why I can read the Bible
(I own three) with a critical eye.

>You go to work on Christmas and instead take Halloween off.

Back when I worked for SuperShuttle, I did indeed work Christmas (and
Thanksgiving.) That's because people were still flying on Christmas
morning.

These days, the company I drive for is closed on Christmas, mainly
because most of the people we supply are off also.

I could care less about Halloween. The days off I normally take are to
allow me to attend science-fiction conventions.

By the way, *pagans*, who do believe in deities, would be more likely
to take Halloween off.

Now let's see if you have the cojones to reply.

The term "unconstitutional" does not apply to the Declaration of

Bill of Rights.

Wars are wars. But religion is supposed to be about loving a God.
There should never had been any deaths in the name of God or religion.

The woman has the ulimate say. Its her body and her child. Even nature
will abort a fetus if something is wrong. Since there is no God, the
relgious need to mind their own business.

Shold be banned if they're on public property. Pornography..if you
don't like it don't look at it. You won't turn into a pillar of salt
if catch a glimpse...let me know though, that might be your "proof"
of God's existence.

Love Halloween. Hate what Christmas has become. Revenue flow

Your man-made god defies logic. For example, you posit He gave us Free
Will, yet he is omniscient - he knows the outcome of all events past,
present and future. If that is true, mankind has no free will, lest we
go against the god's will. And if it's possible to do this, then the god
is not omniscient, since he cannot outguess my free will.

Oh, the goalposts are moving again. Please explain how religion has

god differs from any other god ever worshiped in the history of mankind.

Actually, no. The Declaration of Independence is not law. It cannot be
unconstitutional.

Not by a superhuman designer, and certainly not by YOUR god. Read more
of the founders' words. They talk about "nature's god" which is not the
Christian god. Nature's god is a part of deistic faith which rejects
supernatural events and asserts that this god does NOT interfere with
the events and laws of the universe.

Basically, the deistic god set the universe in motion (big bang?) and
left it alone from there.

You're not that good at this thing, are you?

Listen up you primitive screwhead. If I cannot prove a negative, and
you need no proof for your claims, then I have all the same footing to
claim anything I can imagine and therefore it is all real. That is
just stupid.

So I cannot prove their is "No God"* So what? You cannot prove the God
you believe in only saves atheists and send all believers to hell, so
does that make it a reasonable claim?

*Playing snip with this sentence is proof you are a liar.

Did you really not understand the point Hatter was making? If you did,
then you are just resorting to dishonesty.

In the event that you honestly didn't - let me put it another way.

1) I cannot prove that your god does not exist.
2) I cannot prove that Santa Claus does not exist.
3) I cannot prove that the Tooth Fairy does not exist.
4) I cannot prove that Oonglopth of Squelth did not fart the universe
into existence.
5) I cannot prove that there is no invisible micro-hippopotamus in
George W. Bush's skull.

etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Does this prove that they are all true? I'm inclined to think that the
last is the least improbable.

All definitions are ultimately circular as they are composed of other
words each with their own definition.

With most definitions however, there is a way out of the endless loop
- they actually refer to something in the real world.

So a house cat is a small friendly feline.
A lion is a large carnivorous feline.
A feline is a member of the cat family.

As soon as you see a cat everything falls into place.
Even if you have never seen a lion you now have a reference point and
have some idea what it is.

But gods (as defined by their believers) are something else.

There is no way out of the loop.

For example "the creator of the universe" makes use of two undefined
concepts "the creator" and "it created". To have any validity they
have to demonstrate that the universe actually was created by this
creator.

There is however a way of making this definition 100% accurate and
justified.

Add "as believed by the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions".

It now defines how it is seen by both its believers and everybody else
as well.

Those who can't think outside the box don't like it because it puts
their god firmly in the same class as Zeus, Odin and all the others
for anybody who doesn't believe it.

But that's all it is to them anyway.
