That is an extremely subjective view in an objective format. What religion do you adhere to? Most likely I could find something I find immoral about it. See what I mean?

I've found atheists to be as dogmatic and ridiculous in their views as any fundamentalist. Agnostics tend to be much more reasonable (as are most mainline religious people).

My point is that atheists are as dogmatic as fundamentalists (and just as likely to be wrong). I don't think they are dumb, but I also don't think that atheists are objective and rational on the subject of religion. The only objective rational folks on the subject of religion are agnostics.

If the belief that there is no God isn't universal, what is?

The existence or nonexistence of God is not provable or disprovable. It is impossible to prove something doesn't exist.

Agnosticism is rational because of the impossibility to prove or disprove God.

I, personally, am not an agnostic, however, I recognize that it is impossible to prove that God exists. I believe in God, even though (or perhaps because) it is irrational to believe in God.

religious people i know of have been labelled with insanity and i think that is very funny and very true, take terrorists for one and then jahovas witnesses who i have heard of who believe trying to save someones life who is in danger is wrong and against gods will, then you have mormons who think the earth was created after science proves it was and they think some man read scriptures and spoke the world into existence and to finish off there are some christians in america who still believe the world is flat...i mean come on for fuck sake get a grip and catch up...you cant get any more mad and irrational than that

Revolutionary Thinks Atheists Are "Dumb" But Misspells His Subject

Quote:
Revolutionary:Athiests Are SO DUMB
Gosh these people are idiots! I have proof here:
The Atheist Delusion
1.This is how we spell the word, religionist: atheist.
2. You don't have proof... you have a link to an article.

Make your case if you dare.

While it's impossible to prove a negative (something doesn't exists) it is more than possible to prove that something does exists. Finding proof that a God exists is "theoretically" possible if it were true, the problem religion has is that there isn't any?

Atheists are dumb, idiot and doesn't have any moral value???
Maybe you could change your choice of words?!
By the way: You are far far away from some proof!
It's just a self-made video (or are you going to tell me, that's been send by god?).
Well, I know there is no god...that's my opinion.

The bible is a book - not send by god, and these aren't god's words. It's been written by humans, and are re-narrations of re-narrations of re-narrations of re-narrations of re-narrations etc. etc. The bible is falsified, because these are re-narrations, and everyone tells a story different, so the story got very changed and far from the truth (I think it's good possible, that there was a Jesus, but he wasn't a human as it's told by the bible).
So, I don't try to impose others a general rule of the world and god, it's just my opinion.
