sleeper;1384648 wrote:Atheism is the lack of belief in gods. The two are often blurred because the religious believers want to exploit the loophole that I cannot prove god doesn't exist, therefore my claim is as equal to their claim. Of course that's ridiculous because religious believers are typically on the lower end of the IQ totem pole and really add no value in real life other than to perpetuate millenial old myths to make themselves feel good about their pathetic lives. Just think how much progress could be had if we stopped believing in useless fairy tales that are designed to exploit the mentally insolvent; depriving them of what little money and intellect they currently possess. Ever met a smart believer? I haven't; it's an oxymoron. And before I hear the claims that so-and-so is a believer and has a PHD from Ohio State(or other top 10 schools in the country), just remember, that person is smart enough to have you "believe" that he believes so that he doesn't have to spend time trying to fix a logically defunct and broken mind.

sleeper;1385069 wrote:Darn those elitist atheists for requiring proof of something before making a claim. Atheism is the default intellectual position that you have to be moved from in order to accept a theory. You are born with no knowledge and your decisions are based on the aggregate of knowledge from birth until present. Religious believers HAVE to indoctrinate children into their belief system and pressure them in order to solidify a life long belief in a deity who's existence has never been proven. Pretty sad from an intellectual perspective that society doesn't just flat out reject religious belief and seek to PUNISH those who perpetuate the belief to exploit the mentally insolvent from their money. They are businesses that pay no taxes and need no basis for subjugation of their customer base.
