Hello, all.
As you can probably guess from my pseudonym, I'm an atheist, specifically an agnostic atheist. I have no knowledge of the existence of any deities, and as a result I have no belief in any of them either. I take the position that if an omni-* deity did exist, it's nature and very existence would be utterly incomprehensible to mankind. Frankly, I really don't care if deities exist or not, and I'm sure that if they did, they wouldn't care much about my existence either.
I'm perplexed by theists (non-theists as well) who can't seem to grasp that (a)gnosticism and (a)theism aren't mutually exclusive. Oh - and those that ignorantly conflate abiogenesis, evolution of species, cosmology and who knows what else under the catch-all boogeyman that is "Evolution".
Do those jokers ever crack a science book, or just parrot what they've been told? Never mind - rhetorical question.
I've taken the "Blasphemy Challenge", voluntarily condemning myself to eternal suffering if it turns out I'm wrong. I think I'm safe. :-) If it turns out that the Abrahamic deity of the bible does exist, and could be proven to my satisfaction, I would not worship it. The so-called omni-benevolent "God of Love" as described in the bible is a genocidal tyrant I would never kneel to. Is that blasphemy? I hope so.
See you all in hell (or not!). I'll bring beer.

Hello and welcome!
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

If (ludicrous!) it turned out that the Roman Catholics had it right, I would NOT enter heaven willingly.I_Blaspheme wrote: See you all in hell (or not!). I'll bring beer.
Plus, I like a lawyer. How would I ever see him again if I went into heaven?

Nice intro!
Nice intro!"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J
