If God were Pepsi, then atheism would be Sierra Mist

There is no debate. You labeling it a debate means nothing to me. Its like labeling a banana an apple :) muslims can argue for their god as strongly and with as much of a lack of evidence as any other religion. Its not difficult, either all religions are right, all are wrong , or the most arrogant answer only 'MINE' (MINE IS DIRECTED TO THOSE WHO EMBRACE A SKY DADDY TALE) is right :) Widdle kids will whine "Well science cant answer questions like "What is our purpose as humans on Earth?", that is correct, and Wal-Mart cannot answer those questions for you either, so go pout and stomp your feet that nobody will answer your questions and nobody will help you go potty and wipe your butt for you. Put on your big kid pants and figure out your own purpose and legacy :) You are a 21st century human just like me, why did I see the ridiculous nature of religion as a child, yet you and countless billions of other humans suckle from the tit of religion? I was raised with two loving parents who never divorced, I have 3 brothers and nobody was abused, I grew up religious, yet I decided to question things and you decided to take the intellectually lazy route and say "god did it" There is no historical proof of jesus resurrection. There is no evidence to validate any religious tripe, yet countless humans intellectually tap out and remain mentally bankrupt :) The reason that I unleash ridicule and contempt on religion, is because like the aryan nation, its what religion deserves. The sheer divisiveness and destructive nature of religion is so apparent, it seems one must try to ignore it, and that is disgusting. There are 1.6 million homeless children in the USA. ABC news reported in Jan 2013 that 20-40% of them are LGBT who were kicked out of the home by inept piles of DNA who were ashamed of their creation :) This pathetic result of religious poison is nothing short of despicable. If humans need an outdated, unproven and ridiculous book to gain morality, they are nothing short of a ball and chain dragging mankind down as we strive to advance to a higher standard :) There are countless millions of intellectuals, scientists, and other enlightened humans who, although not as politically incorrect and brash as me, agree that religion is a poison :) Your incessant whining is not a deterrent, your uncomfortable responses make it clear deep down you know as a 21st century human a man never lived in a whale :) Whine about my political incorrectness, and brash approach all you want, you support the single most divisive and destructive invention in the history of mankind, and you should be ashamed of your inability to question such childish, wicked and immoral teachings as those written about in the holy binky, the adult pacifier that stops man from asking questions, and satisfies him with allegories, parables, metaphors, and ultimately weak excuses for the beautiful and magnificent nature of our universe and life :) There is no polite way to tell someone they have dedicated their life to a folly--Daniel Dennett I dont want to JUST believe, I want to know. Since nobody knows everything, and its impossible to know everything, I can only go on probability. Science and I have that in common, we like to think in probabilities based on logic, reason critical thinking, and our secret weapon, EVIDENCE :) EVIDENCE, increases somethings probability, and a lack of evidence decreases somethings probability :) Nothing is absolute, however, some things are more probable than others. Its more probable that the magnificent and beautiful universe is Not under the watchful eye of a celestial dictator that made an appearance in the middle east to let people know they shouldnt work on a certain day or it's a death sentence (exodus 35:2) The same skepticism that killed Santa, is the same skepticism that kills unicorns, leprechauns, the boogeyman, the easter bunny, and tooth fairy, and when you have the courage to turn that skepticism up a notch, the intellectual honesty it bears, will slay all god stories as well god is Not an explanation, its a placeholder for those who lack the courage or intellectual honesty to SIMPLY say, "I dont know" The lack of courage and intellectual honesty to simply say "I dont know", is Not a weakness we are born with, its injected into the mind by religion, and for that lethal injection into a childs mind, I will forever despise the poison called religion. Freethinkers, are Not a curse, we are the cure :)
