You might be an atheist if:

1. Your only knowledge of the Bible comes from verses with the words "smite", "bowels", "touching", and "hell fire" in them.

2. When someone says "God bless you", you make them take it back.

3. You call a view that is held by a small percentage of the world population as common sense and natural.

4. You believe that the Founding Fathers who wrote the Constitution were deists and not Christians until it is pointed out that some of them had slaves, after which they become Bible pounding fundamentalists overnight.

5. You use a small "g" when writing the name of God but when writing the names of the planets that were named after the pagan gods you use capital letters.

6. You think that marriage is an obsolete fundy institution.............until you begin to talk about gay marriage. Then all of a sudden, its a great idea.

7. You believe that gender roles are only the product of the evil Christian patriarchy, but homosexuals were just born that way.

8. You think you know when life begins, which is after a baby is born, but do not know what a woman is.

9. You believe that extra dippy ice cream is logical proof against the existence of a God because an omniscient God would know how to stop ice cream from being extra dippy. An omnipotent God would have the ability to stop ice cream from being extra dippy, and by golly, an omnibenevolent God would not want your ice cream to be extra dippy.

10. You spend the majority of your nights trying to scratch off the words, "In God we trust" off all your money.

I am an atheist..

1. Your only knowledge of the Bible comes from verses with the words "smite", "bowels", "touching", and "hell fire" in them.

Actually, I have read almost the entire Bible and have studied the Bible for years. What amazes me is how little Christians know about the NT.

2. When someone says "God bless you", you make them take it back.

No, I say thank you since it is generally someone being nice.

3. You call a view that is held by a small percentage of the world population as common sense and natural.

Since no one religion is a majority of the world population, I roll my eyes when Christians disparage Muslims, Muslims insult Jews, etc.

4. You believe that the Founding Fathers who wrote the Constitution were deists and not Christians until it is pointed out that some of them had slaves, after which they become Bible pounding fundamentalists overnight.

There were examples of every sort.

5. You use a small "g" when writing the name of God but when writing the names of the planets that were named after the pagan gods you use capital letters.

No.

6. You think that marriage is an obsolete fundy institution.............until you begin to talk about gay marriage. Then all of a sudden, its a great idea.

I think marriage should be a religious institution but if a couple wants legal, tax, or other benefits, a civil union is appropriate. No reason you can't have both.

7. You believe that gender roles are only the product of the evil Christian patriarchy, but homosexuals were just born that way.

I've had kids, I've seen how they differ.

8. You think you know when life begins, which is after a baby is born, but do not know what a woman is.

Like many human issues, these are complex and not simply black and white.

9. You believe that extra dippy ice cream is logical proof against the existence of a God because an omniscient God would know how to stop ice cream from being extra dippy. An omnipotent God would have the ability to stop ice cream from being extra dippy, and by golly, an omnibenevolent God would not want your ice cream to be extra dippy.

Ah, the age old question, why would a benevolent God let bad things happen?

10. You spend the majority of your nights trying to scratch off the words, "In God we trust" off all your money.

Money? Who uses money anymore?

The only person whose quotes on religion you agree with is Karl Marx.

So, abortion is a complicated issue is it?

What makes it complicated?

The unborn either is a human being with rights or it is not.

I suppose you could make an argument about a woman's life being in danger, but that is very rare, if at all, and not really a legitimate rebuttal.

So, why is it that it is a complicated issue for a mother to terminate the life of her infant but not for God? God forbid that could be complicated as well.

His creation His right?

When is it OK to kill another human being? If they kill someone? If they try to kill you? If they rape someone? If they kidnap or enslave someone? If they break into your house? If they are an enemy soldier? If they are a civilian living in an enemy country? If they suffer a treatable illness but you don't want to pay for their care?

You're right, life and death is simple.

What if it is an unarmed woman protesting at the Capital?

What if it is an unarmed woman protesting at the Capital?

What if it is an unarmed Black man that someone decides is a threat and decides to stand his ground.

See, we agree that matters of life and death are not always black and white. So to speak.

Educated guess. Deductive logic. Want to test it?

I've embarrassed you more than enough.

I've embarrassed you more than enough.

And I'm secure enough to let you think that.

And smart enough to know you won't be disagreeing with Marx's views on religion.
