Answer 1

Huh? I am Catholic and have never claimed that atheists didn't have common sense. The only thing that can be said about them is that they choose not to believe in something that can not be proven or disproven. I know some atheists and find they are just like people who have some sort of faith. Good and bad people, as well as common sense, do not depend upon faith or belief.

As for super powers, I'd say I have super faith, in that I am able to believe in something when others choose not to, but if you are an atheist you would likely say I have super self-delusion. To each his own....

Answer 2

Does that mean i have super SUPER powers. I have all those powers to, AND God to stand behind me. Wow, looks like Im one up on you!!

I dont NEED God to be good, to get through life, to express how I feel even though I am hated and feared by millions, I am not intimidated by hell, I do not act for a reward, dont need imaginary comfort, dont need God to feel secure, and have faith in myself.

The diffrence is I have him, I choose to, and that gives me Power Number 11.

Answer 3

My Atheist Superpowers are that I can crush a beer can with my forehead, I can use the bathroom without the need for toilet paper (it's a "snap-shut" thing- you wouldn't understand...) and I can walk an old lady across the street without feeling the least bit embarrassed or self-conscious.
I am working on some others now at the academy...like being able to tolerate hatred and religious bigotry- only not from Muslims; learning to clap one-handed; and drying my hair with just my breath and a strategically-placed mirror.
Wish me luck.

Answer 4

hmmmm, do you want a medal or a chest to pin it on? I don't hate you,I don't know you,I certainly don't fear you.If I don't agree with what you think,because it isn't right for me,it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!

86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why doesn't the 14% that don't believe in "God" just Shut Up and BE QUIET!!!
And if you don't like my opinion....TOUGH!!

Answer 5

And you also have the power not to know what it feels to care and love someone, but yourselves, there is a greater power out there besides you and you will never know it. So sad.

Answer 7

It's not really a superpower, they are just more flatulent... so they have to stay away from normal people. It's God's way of getting even without being mean.

Answer 8

How about the power to not go the religion or other Christian chats...sounds like insecurity..if you have this power why bother to come here to toot your horn about how smart you are...I bet I know why...you have a little doubt...you know it

Answer 9

He can deliver hardcore Christians in a towering rage purely by being of their presence. He may reason Fundamentalists to spew illogical gibberish as they frantically attempt to "out-common sense" him of their desperation to disprove his disbelief. And he can shoot lasers out of his eyes, purely because eye-lasers are completely cool.

Answer 10

Read Romans 1:18-32
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
