I like it when that happens.
Though not when I don't call. I feel used.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

i've only skimmed through the above (life is too short)..............

.........but as far as I am concerned the term Atheist was simply created (lol) by Theists to denote those who don't subscribe to there delusions. I call those who don't beleive that cheese can ride bicycles "bickle-cheesers"..........but that doesn't mean they (you?!) need to get a worldview around being a "bickle-cheeser". Same with "Atheism".

FWIW I have very few "morals" and only learned ideas of right & wrong (keeps me out of trouble) - but that's because I have been blessed by god. or summit...........and nothing to do with being an Atheist.
I am Leader of all The Atheists in the world - FACT.

Come look inside Santa's Hole :ninja:

You want to hear the truth about Santa Claus???.....you couldn't handle the truth about Santa Claus!!!

Historically the word atheist was first used against Christians, when they refused to recognize the Roman Caesar as a god.
[Myths & Santa Claus rely upon a historical origin; fairies do not but they have mythical connotations; unicorns are either real (the Rhinoceros) or mythical; God appears in mythology and in the human experience (far beyond childhood) and is also a conceptual idea of origin. Atheism is an attempt to simplify tough questions about 'meaning of life', theism emphasizes this complexity. Both may easily overstep the mark of true humanism. True humanism is believing that all of us can think and do matter, even while their world view is not yours.]
