I don't believe that atheists exist.
You have to rely on faith
And if you don't believe it, you will go to hell.

I don't believe that atheists exist.
I want to discuss a few things with you. I'm considered an atheist by some, because I don't believe in God.
By atheists, I'm not considered one, because I practice Buddhism, a non-theistic spiritual path.
What is your experience being atheist in America? Bush I said atheists shouldn't be citizens or hold public office. It is doubtful an atheist could be elected POTUS in the US.
Some people say atheism is a religion because of it's non-beliefs.

Atheists don't exist. Those who call themselves Atheists are just lying to themselves.
By the way, in answer to the OP: In my experience many people claiming to be "Atheists" are actually just anti-Christian bigots using the title as a cover. Many people claiming to be Buddhists are just the same bigots.... The writer of the OP included and even has admitted so.

This document is a letter that Jon Murray sent to every Member of Congress on February 21, 1990. In this letter, Mr. Murray describes the news conference that I attended, quotes exactly the conversation between Mr. Bush and myself, and then states:
Subsequent to these astonishing statements, I wrote to (then) Vice President Bush demanding a clarification of these remarks. More than two months later, on February 21, 1989, C. Boyden Gray, Counsel to the President, wrote to me from the White House as follows:
"Your letter of December 19, 1988, to President Bush has been referred to me for reply. As you are aware, the President is a religious man who neither supports atheism nor believes that atheism should be unnecessarily encouraged or supported by the government. Needless to say, the President supports the Constitution and laws of the United States, and you may rest assured that this Administration will proceed at all times with due regard for the legal rights of atheists, as will as others with whom the President disagrees."
This letter was a clear admission by the President, through his counsel, that he had indeed made the remarks and was not backing down from them.
Documents Prove Bush Questioned Citizenship of Atheists
Atheism is the pursuit of rational thought and the rejection of illogical and nonsense theistic claims purporting to be the truth. Atheism is being a good person simply to be a good person, not because of any promised eternal payoff. Atheism is the natural byproduct of human curiosity.
Excellent post Sheldon. I have one disagreement with you.

You are endowing "atheism" with certain characteristics that may or may not be true. As I said earlier, atheism is simply the rejection of theism. Theism purports the existence of a god. Atheism, rejects that claim. Atheism is nothing more, and nothing less.
By saying "Atheism is being a good person simply to be a good person," you run the risk of the following logical fallacy:
- Atheists do good because they wish to.
- All Atheists do good.
But we know that conclusion not to be true.

If you believe in anything that is NOT science based (and spiritualism is not science) then you are a BELIEVER.
What I want to know is why atheists are such big whining crybabies?
On the internet there are more atheists posting attacks on believers than believers attacking atheism.
Here's a thought...don't believe if you don't wanna.
How hard is that?
Yeah, you never hear christians playing the victim card.
You never see christians attack atheists for wanting simple things like only science taught in science classes or asking government to stay neutral on religion.
You never hear christians act like "whining crybabies" when the supreme court says you can't teach ID in class or you can't put jesus on a government building on Decemebr 25th.
Those things NEVER EVER happen, only atheists "whine and cry."
Truth is christians are cheered when they whine and cry to no end, and since atheists are immoral and disgusting because we don't buy into a 2,000 year old book than we take issue with something you have a problem with it.
Yea......but...but....Atheists are trying to take away Christmas!
What I think; Faith is a natural part of of Man. You have to faith in something otherwise you have no will to live. Men without purpose generally don't live for long. This is what makes us different from other forms of animals. Atheism is a form of faith though they deny it. All men believe in something...it doesn't have to be true.

How Report Atheists to the FBI
There is no proof that God exists.It was meant to infuriate atheists. It was obviously a major success. Thanks for playing.
Why don't you just tell us the "There are no atheists in foxholes" nonsense
Because Atheists are usually hyper-sensitive and full of themselves and it pleases me to piss them off. Now that I've gotten you guys, I'll tell you that another thing I like to post is the study about humans being wired to believe in God and another study about atheists being given a lie detector test and asked if they believe in God (and they all fail the test).
An atheist is a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings. That's huge. So it begs the question, what kind of proof would an atheist require to believe in god?
There is no atheist experience.
I do not believe in the man in the sky and I do not follow anyone else's idea of spirituality.
Buddhism is just as dogma laden as any theistic religion. I got kicked out of catechism in third grade and haven't attended a church or religious ceremony since and I have not "experienced" any ill effects personal or societal.
Atheists who say they are discriminated against are just whiners like most of you sheep.
True, but some self-labeled atheists have their own whines.There is no atheist experience.
