It doesn't surprise me a bit when I read news articles stating that atheists know more about christianity than christians. If they really read the bible (and if they had a functioning brain), they'd see all the bullshit, bigotry and hate that fills it's pages. Atheists are usually more educated all the way around. That's why it's no lie to say that the majority of intellectuals are atheists: scientists, physicians, professors, etc… <br />Atheists appreciate the variety in the world, instead of hating anything that is different. Similar to what DavidCT said, seeing the good in others and being a good person yourself is a great way to have joy in your life. Accepting the reality that we are responsible for our own actions and that nobody is pulling any strings makes you want to be a better person, or at least it does for me. I know religious people that think their life is predestined, every move they make--That's crazy!<br /><br />I'm new to blogger by the way…I've been posting on the Yahoo news stories a lot and I wanted to start blogging.

It feels good to be certain that people will get what they deserve and this person can feel important telling this to us. Without this belief he becomes unimportant. It would be therefore be very difficult for such a person to give up his beliefs. <br /><br />It must be terrifying for such a person to come to the realization that the universe we live in does not care about us. For those of us who are used to accepting reality there is less to fear. While the universe and the sky fairy don't care, other people do.<br /><br />Believing in the basic goodness of most other people can be as source of joy and hope equal to any religion. For the author of the e-mail, his faith is the source of fear and revenge. I'll celebrate my basic humanity and he can enjoy his spiteful faith.DavidCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567694912132966263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-78643852371460644072010-10-19T00:35:45.559-05:002010-10-19T00:35:45.559-05:00Translated to coherent, the email reads as follows...Translated to coherent, the email reads as follows:<br /><br />"I have been lied to and am angry for no real reason other than the fact that I have been lied to.

Strange that there seem to be many angry theists who comment when their grasp of English is not all that great.<br /><br />I can't see the appeal of going on youtube and seeing what theists have to say about atheists in Spanish. Even if it made me angry I would realize there is little point in making veiled threats or even rational arguments in broken Spanish at them.<br /><br />Letters like this represent truly bizarre behavior.John K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11579041716600940838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-40769329835838623652010-10-18T01:07:40.377-05:002010-10-18T01:07:40.377-05:00The man is putting us atheists down :(The man is putting us atheists down :(eimerianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828469060198765454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-39290408594837015502010-10-18T00:10:03.756-05:002010-10-18T00:10:03.756-05:00That was surprisingly coherent and well-written co...That was surprisingly coherent and well-written compared to what we usually get to see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-77302525704729388292010-10-17T23:55:08.311-05:002010-10-17T23:55:08.311-05:00"Your community will be blowen up as long wit..."Your community will be blowen up as long with you garbage or what ever happens."<br /><br />I'm not sure exactly what this means but it's certainly much more sinister with the "or whatever" at the end.ChaosSonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210391390287355639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-29181510613157073172010-10-17T23:40:51.605-05:002010-10-17T23:40:51.605-05:00I love it how you post ridiculous emails in Comic ...I love it how you post ridiculous emails in Comic Sans.
