Answer 1

LOL I think most of them come up with this stuff naturally.

Answer 2

I'm an Atheist and I'm not irritated by your questions at all;) Here are my answers:

1) We're not. How could we possibly be bitter against something that DOES NOT exist?;)

2) No disrespect..but..What makes you think that what YOU could say, would affect our behavior?;)

3) We'd politely anwer: no, thanks.

4) Nobody firbids you to invite my son to Church, the point is that he would not come with you;)

5) My friend, I, personally, know the Bible better than you can imagine; I could give you some lessons if you wish;) you may then end up seeing the Light after that;)

6) And?

7) well, if that works for you, good for you guys;) our brains are capable to think more elaborate things than 'just exists';)

8) Statistics of what? Of how many brainwashed people with burned out synapses there are on Earth?;)))

9) WOW, THAT is VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!...Is that all you can do?;)

10) We? Persecuting you? Hmmmm...if my memory ain't failing me...weren't you the guys who killed thousands of people during the Crusades and the Inquisition?;)))

11) Oh...I see...And..that'd do?...WOW...;)

12) Man, your advices are getting better and better:)))))) was this the last one?:))))))

.....Peace;)

Answer 3

My replies:
1) I am not bitter against God. I am bitter against the tooth fairy, get your myths straight.

2) Hmm, I think most murderers are christian except for the miraculous converts that become christian in prison.... Phew thank god I can just say "sorry" and be pardoned. I for one am less forgiving than God and would just as soon hang em high. I don't just want to go out and just kill people in general, I'm not a disorganized psycho..I have a LIST, geez.

3) Pray with you, sure. But I may pray a little differently. Less "I pray" and more "I hope". Less "Lord forgive me for my sins" and more "I take full responsibility for my wrong doings, and will go apologize to whomever I harmed right now".

4) My kids can make their own decisions when they are old enough to understand that decision. Until then they can be brainwashed by Pokemon.

5) I have a website you can look at and see who else exists... says so right in the text and they actually have some logical proof.... http://www.venganza.org/ Ramen!

6) dunno what a chick tract is, gonna have to pass on this one.

7) Calculus is pretty complex, who invented that.

8) most stats are made up anyhow, or at least manipulated.

9) Me too, because of course knowing your right is more important than knowing the truth. Hmm who else "knew" they were right....Manson, Hitler, Davidians... Knowing how right you are is dangerous.

10) I'm not persecuting you, enjoy your freedoms and I will enjoy mine. Jeez, you are so pretty when you stick to your convictions... wanna hop in the sack.

11) I'm sorry I'm not making sense, I guess we arent all as smart as we think we are....ahem.

12) Again Pascal's Wager is unknown to me, excuse my ignorance... I was busy reading the bible so I could argue with you.

That was fun, I want to do more.

Answer 4

How about these ones:

1) Don't force your religion down my throat as if atheism is a religion - hey, wait a minute, it is recognized as a religion by the US government...

2) Ok, how about "you only believe what you read in a
book"... like the Piltdown man and other evolutionary
hoaxes.

3) You can't think for yourself. You blindly follow secular
humanism.

4) Keep your religion out of politics - don't teach my children
your opinion on the origin of the species. Don't take my
tax dollars to support the murder of infants.

5) Use circular logic to support your beliefs like - you can tell
how old fossils are by looking at where they are found in
the earth. You can tell how old the various layers of earth
are by what fossils are found there.

6) Trash their attitude that what they think is something new
by pointing out that atheists are as old as the Psalms
where it says "The fool has said in his heart, no god."

7) When they make the insane accusation that Jesus never
existed because the only accounts that we have of Him
are those in the Bible made up by men who never knew
Him, just point out that Josephus also wrote about Jesus.
Also, all that we know of Aristotle, Plato and Socarates
are from writings that were written thousands of years
after their deaths.

Oh yeah... it's fun to expose the pseudo-intellectual (that means false or fake intellegence for all of you atheists out there) atheists who think they are so much better than anyone else.

Besides, the easiest way to irritate an atheist is to just tell them the truth. That gets them everytime.

Answer 5

i'm a Deist, so i assume i'm qualified. What irritates me the main are those issues: one million- some human beings think of that we are hypocrites/ not sure for the reason that we settle for the life of a deity and accepting, interior an identical time, evolution and the huge bang. 2- that all and sundry Deists might desire to alter into Atheists at last. that's not genuine, i like being one, yet interior an identical time I, with the help of NO type, condemn Atheists. 3. That our Deism is an "previous" concept that grew to become into regular in 1700s and should no longer be anymore. edit: with regard to the tolerance question: Atheists, arms down.

Answer 6

Wouldn't it be more Christian to except others no matter what there differances are? I am Catholic and my boyfriends try's to convince me that my religion is wrong and that Christianity is the only way to go. Personally, it is freedom of choice Religion is what it is we all have differant beliefs and being able to except anothers belief seems more Christian and loving more then to persacute some one for not believing in what you believe in. I think God or some people will claim the Higher power would be happier to know that people praise and go by the moral code then to fight as to whose
God is better. Religion is the biggest contributor to War. Read the bible it starts from the early days of time. I don't understand why we can not just accept and get on with our lives already.

Geeezzzz

Answer 7

The onyl thing about pascal's wager is that that, in order for it to be a wager, there must be an element of doubt in the person MAKING a wager.

Otherwise you aren't betting against anything. If you doubt, you lack faith.

Pascal's Wager cannot be used to argue for the existence of a diety.


and none of those things are even remotely irritating, they just sorta don't really make any sense at all. In fact, you know some of those things are false... and why do you need to make false statements to make yourself feel better about your own uncertainty?

Answer 8

God exists because you exist not the other Way around so you must know that if a god is forgotten he doesn't exist any more.love everyone like you love yourself.Dasvidania

Answer 9

Those aren't irritating. In fact, they highlight your ignorance. Good job. Why do religious types think atheists hate God? It is a philosophy; no more, no less. What they hate is YOU. There is a major difference there you seem to not understand.

Answer 10

You better watch out, you might be giving us atheists ideas about killing your parents, just kidding. I have four words for you, where is the proof. That wipes out all ten pompous remarks.

Answer 11

You mentioned Pascal's Wager in your question. Does that mean I have to drink?
