See? This is what you're up against when you try to reason with the 'faithful'.
...why is that true?...because it's in the Bible...why does being in the Bible make it true?...because it's the Bible...
That, for better or for worse, is the irrationality of religion.
You finally admit it's a religion. That's a step forward.(skims for the well thought out response part...)(skims for the science part...)

Hmm...
I'm trying to figure out which religion I should join.
a. Mormons say all the other Christians are false religions that have been led astray a long time ago. Jesus told Joseph Smith this in 1800. Is this a false religion?
b. Catholics say they are the one true original faith and all other christians are just spin offs.
c. Born agains say if you haven't been baptized as an adult you haven't been saved yet, so all the other christians who were baptized when we were babies are going to hell.
d. Presbyterians, lutherans, non denomination, baptists, greek orthodox. If you were born into one of these but you were baptized as children, defend yourselves against the born agains please.
e. Muslims. Maybe god did talk to him 500 years ago.
f. Jews. Maybe they were right and Jesus wasn't the Messiah.
g. None of the above.
I pick g.

I wish it was. Then I could be a preacher and swindle my members and get tax breaks.

Nothing is stopping you. Admittedly, you are picking a religion with a small market place, but you could probably make a decent living at it.

I'm sure that's what they told Christians in the year 1.

As a businessman I see a lot of potential for growth.

the bumper sticker market alone could keep the roof overhead and food on the table.

Do you think I would trust Christians to not key my car or flatten my tires if they read my atheist bumper sticker?
But notice I have never once vandalized a theists car when they put those stupid honk if you love jesus stickers on their cars. I should pull up along side them and honk and smile and when they smile back flip them off and speed off laughing. LOL.

I had a Darwin fish on the back of my truck for years, never got keyed even once. I'd say you're just being paranoid.

Big difference between Darwin and Atheism. Put a God's Not Real sticker on your car and see what happens.
So do you have Santa isn't real, the easter bunny isn't real, reality isn't real, the flying spaghetti monster isn't real, outer space isn't real bumper stickers on your car too? Or do you have just a particular bone to pick with God?
It's your right to have that sticker on there, but it is absurd. I don't believe in the flying spaghetti monster or the easter bunny, but I don't take the time to put stickers on my car slandering them.
The reason I am pretty much confined to this particular part of the board is that the people here are relatively sane. Even the most rabid of us here don't hold a candle to what happens in the political sections. Those people are utterly insane. Yet I have seen both conservative and liberal stickers on bumpers without any sign of problems. I repeat, you're just being paranoid. No one cares what you put on your bumper.
That would be freedom of speech. Why should you be offended by it just because you disagree?

Where did I say I was offended? If you read my post, I said that it was their right to do so (i.e. freedom of speech). I am not offended by stupidity. No, I am only bringing to light how much people are obsessed with hating the God of the Bible.

Allow me to rephrase the question - why would you call someone expressing his/her opinion, "stupid" or "absurd?"
Speaking out against something, aught to be encouraged.
You're suffering from a bit of paranoia. I know of no one who spends time hating your gods or anyone else's gods. What I do see is a reaction to extremist Christian groups who have decided that their gods need to be installed into both the public and private domain, the public school system for one example.That would be freedom of speech. Why should you be offended by it just because you disagree?

See? This is what you're up against when you try to reason with the 'faithful'.
...why is that true?...because it's in the Bible...why does being in the Bible make it true?...because it's the Bible...
That, for better or for worse, is the irrationality of religion.
Faithful atheists argue that their conclusions are true because their high school teacher told them it was true. And the irony is that atheists believe truth is relative so the mere act of arguing over what is true is purely absurd, yet they do it anyway.
Regardless, you know your statement is dishonest to begin with because I have given you proof on several occasions for the validity of the Bible.
