This section is called "Religion and Spirituality" and since you don't have a religion and don't believe in spitituality...
Actually, they should have another section for you labeled "Nothing" since that's what you all believe in.

Wowzers. You're a contradiction. You don't want debate but you do.
I believe in stuff. Stuff I can feel, see, hear and experience. I believe in love, and I believe in learning. I believe in freedom and value freedom more than security. I believe that dogma should never ever ever be allowed to take the place of thinking for oneself. And I believe if there is someone out there to be labelled God with all those attributes, I believe the relationship will be personal and does NOT belong in strictures/books/rules and other man made crap. It's in your heart and soul, if there is such a thing. Just because I feel something is real (like a soul) does NOT mean it is.
So yeah, don't be surprised some atheists believe in something, and believe in enjoying a good debate. Atheism is only an expressed belief that there is no God. Doesn't rule out other beliefs. I'm on here, to argue a little bit. Religion has to be argued with for it to grow and evolve and not get stuck.
There's an old story somewhere about an experiment that involved monkeys. One monkey tried to climb some steps in this cage to reach a banana, got hosed down. Soon all the monkeys learned not to reach that banana. New monkeys added to the group try to reach the banana, the others attack him to stop him reaching for it. Eventually they stop hosing the monkeys and all the original monkeys have been replaced by all newcomers, who never got hosed. They still attack other monkeys that reach for that banana. They don't know why anymore.
This to me, is dogma. Unreasoned emotive circular unfounded logic.

Repeat after me in your best retard voice: "Deeeeeaaaaaahh!"
Apparently you missed the list of identical questions that pops up before you posted. They show up to keep the incredibly stupid from repeating the same old crap over and over again. I see now that you are at the extreme end of the moron scale.
If that's how you really feel about this section, then perhaps it should be changed to "Brainwashing & Rote Memorization" or maybe "Can't Follow Directions."
How arrogant of you people to claim a free forum for yourselves. Do you really, truly believe that ANYTHING you say or do will make this a purely Christian section? How naiive you are, child!

They need to put people who don't accept other for who they are, like you, in the "Judgemental" section because judging people will earn a rocketway to (what you call) hell.
Why are you giving us a hard time anyways? Why are you being so contradictory in the acceptance of all people, huh? Leave the Atheists alone.
See, this is why you get negative remarks, for talking badly about other religions or lack thereof. Why don't you find out a bit more about atheism and Paganism before you go and point fingers at anyone for bringing society down.

Oh har har har. There goes another rib.
What about a special section for you called prejudice and bigotry?
Don't you want me here so that you can turn this poor lost sheep back to the light? Aren't you meant to reach out and encourage us miserable sinners? I don't think baby Jesus will be very pleased with your attempt at a membership drive.

I'm a not an atheist. But lying Xtians have accused me of being one many times. I care about spiritual issues, if it is any of your concern. Also, non-Christians are wary of the Christian religion. The Christians are liable to persecute or start a war at any time, as they have in the past, many times. I don't want it to happen again.

Because people like you ask us questions. And why would you think that atheism doesn't pertain in some way to Religion & Spirituality. Atheism is a metaphysical stance. Tell me how that DOESN'T pertain to R&S?
Look... just because the section is called "Religion & Spirituality" doesn't mean that it's an exclusive area wherein only the religious and spiritual may ask questions pertaining to Religion & Spirituality. This isn't a message board, this isn't a club area, this isn't "members only". This is for ANY question that PERTAINS the the subject of R&S.
Get it?

If you don't want atheists here, stop encouraging them by posting questions for them here.
Besides, we all know that differences between religions create conflict. You need atheists here to keep you in an environment you're accustomed to, one full of conflict.

Atheists are in here to defend ourselves, and to defend reason, rationality, common sense, and all other things attach by Religion & Spirituality. Beside, if you live in America at least, Atheists have the right to say whatever we want, wherever we want. If you don't want to listen, maybe YOU shouldn't be in this section.

What makes you think an atheist can't be spiritual? Most Buddhists don't believe in any gods. There are also religious naturalists.
