lol @ Americans bitching about gas prices when they're still pretty much more expensive everywhere else. Maybe it's because you all drive such big cars.
MuffinBear, first of all, atheism does not automatically deny the existance of a soul or life force. Many atheists are also skeptics, including myself, but some do believe in such a thing. Second of all, I was raised to be a Christian, but I changed my mind. How does this fit in with your just pretending theory?
I also understand that there are interpretations of the Bible - albeit very unpopular ones - that arrive at pretty much the same ethical conclusions as myself. Thus I am not denying the existance of god just to allow me to "sin" either.
NEGn, it may be a low blow, but atheists often find the assertions some theists make about them insulting. Yet, we often have to shoulder it, because it's still viewed as more acceptable for the religious to criticise other religions than it is for the non-religious to criticise the religious.
FlamingWombat, he clearly stated that he beleives Whetstone shouldn't be banned as it implies that atheists "cannot shoulder" his worldview - that we must live in ignorance of religion to remain atheists, that it's impossible to believe that we could live in a world so full of religion without the existance of a god.
