Brussels sprouts are amazing. Why do more people not see this???

And capitalism is a social system which particularly rewards those individuals, which is the problem.

"...but this is the US where illness is a bad choice made by the patient."

You're alright, Arnheim. We may just keep you as a pet.

This is how I imagine the person typing that comment:

Never met one I didn't like (apologies to Will Rogers)

Anybody comes anywhere near my ladyparts with a knife, they'd better have some damned good health cover.

I believe that we should respect other's beliefs, even if we do not agree or accept them.

If god is a given why can't the universe be a given, if you need "something" to create the universe than why don't you need "something" to create god. Did god just "appear out of thin air"?

The vast majority of Atheists I've come in contact with don't want to do away with religion at all...they, like I, just want religious folk to keep it to themselves and not try to pass laws based on their beliefs. In addition, many want them to pay taxes like a business if they are ran like a business. I absolutely…

I'm never surprised when atheists are ranked low in public popularity polls either. Because once some christian realizes you're an atheist, suddenly they interpret everything you do or say as evidence of being a smug little shit with no respect for anyone's culture or beliefs.

Only .07% of the federal prison population are atheists. http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-… For all the reasons laid out in this article, that doesn't mean one should conclude that atheists are more moral than religious people. However, it does falsify the notion that religiosity makes one more moral.

I'm agnostic. I'm curious as to what it is you think we believe in.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Or something.

Anyone who would rank Buddhism low obviously knows nothing about Buddhism, it's pretty much the religion of being the chillest you that you can be.

Ok, but here's a serious question from one nonbeliever to another: how do you talk to your kid about why OTHER people believe in god(s)? We have all these multicultural books with various creation stories and some of them have local deities. My son was like, "what's that? Who's that?" And I was all, "uhhhhh". I think…

You seem to have a lot of anger. As an Atheist, I believe that we should respect other's beliefs, even if we do not agree or accept them. Racism is not the correct term. Prejudice is. Religious people still hold the very incorrect belief that because Atheists are devoid of the Sky Daddy, we are morally bankrupt…

Wait, what? What's wrong with going to another country where people have next to nothing and then "saving" them by asking for donations for their salvation? I mean, seems like that's what a loving god would do. Right?

Or maybe he fucking sucks in bed and she's too nice to tell him.
