    You’re not taking this seriously. Xtians might love JC but there are many religions without him as a figure.
    But you said atheists all love the debil, which is childish on a good day.

    I searched for the place where you found the definition you deleted all but you wanted from and found this:
    religion
    [ri-lij-uh n]
    See more synonyms for religion on Thesaurus.com
    noun

    Your disingenuous manipulation of data is unfortunate.

    Nah you are just pissed that you made a hilarious error, probably because you did not bother to do any homework before you posted.

    I said no such thing which is why you dont quote it of course.
    Wow look at that, I quoted the part that applied, you know since neoatheists have so much difficulty understanding a dictionary n all, so now everyone can see I have done nothing what so ever disingenuous, but you certainly have by making false accusations. I understand though, because that all neo atheists have left.

    Actually it is called "Cherry Picking" or "Quote Mining" and is considered very poor debate and discussion technique. Most honest people simply highlight a section they wish to make prominent vs. deleting context that might be negative to their point.

    Baloney!

    Thats a ridiculously laughable exaggeration, with the only debate tactic neoatheists have left, name calling and the pretense of malfeasance.

    Its called holding the hand of people who do not know how or refuse to use a dictionary properly to guide them through the complex task of comprehending which sense is being used when the insist on manipulating the debate by unknowingly or purposely using an improper sense to pretend it is the only sense. THAT is quote mining.

    and it is perfectly legitimate and in fact expected in any debate when necessary to clear up any confusion which sense is being used.

    Most honest people do not need to have their hand held and guided through to the proper usage of each phrase, all distractions must be removed and next we will have to do the same for all words used in the sentence.

    RiaRaeb hates this :winner:

    So whats next? Shall we argue that the 'only' belief atheists have, as in they possess no other, is that no Gods exist? :rant:

    No you didn't
    Some atheists have certain belief's.
    But that is not what makes them an atheist.
    A disbelief in a God is what makes them atheist.

    and you established nothing.
    You're a chronic liar, and everybody is taking turns spanking you.

    Calm down!
    Then you need to fight it out with your fellow atheists who agree that atheists have several beliefs. frankly anyone who would claim otherwise probably drank way to much koolaid.

    Hmm look at that, we really did establish that atheists have many beliefs.

    You are sitting here getting drunk every day, repeating the same things you were spanked for the day before.

    You have serious problems.

    You again remove everything that would defeat you argument...quote mining and cherry picking seems the ONLY way you can make a point, I will not be bothered to hunt down where you snipped that from this time.

    But it does not defeat my argument, nowhere does any definition state "God is a requirement" (which is what you are driving at) and that is merely a bad ASSumption on the part of atheists.

    So you FAILED and you continue to FAIL to provide any evidence what so ever that anything you rant about has so much as one iota of truth.

    Atheists brag about all those facts and hard evidence they use, evidence they cant show any more than a theist can show their evidence. :tombstone:

    Thats ok I bet it feels good to imagine that you spanked someone doesnt it?

    You do not even have an argument....you have some warped understanding of Atheists that for some reason you think is more valid than the words and beliefs of actual Atheists. Imagine if I told you I know God better than you do.....makes as much sense.

    That all us Atheists know each other, meet in churches, worship something, have a religion, think the same way, or some other warped vision instead of Atheists simply being people who do not believe in your God or anyone elses. YOU are an Atheists who disbelieves in one less God.

    you cant be serious
    So you deny that atheists meet in churches after its been proven they do?
    So you deny atheists worship something after its been proven they do? (the state for most)
    You deny atheists have no religion when its been proven they have beliefs and associated practices as a result of those beliefs?
    So you deny that atheists do not believe in a God?
    Why should they ? They all have their own God, though not a very divine one since the state is comprised of mostly criminals people agree with.
    huh? wth does that mean?

    Don't you know that unicorns are in the Bible? So if you don't believe in unicorns why do you believe anything about Yahweh (aka Jealous), the God of the Hebrews and the God of the armies?

    *Numbers 23:22 (KJV) =
    God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.


    Numbers 24:8 (KJV)
    God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.


    Deuteronomy 33:17 (KJV)
    His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.


    Job 39:9 (KJV)
    Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?


    Job 39:10 (KJV)
    Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?


    Psalm 22:21(KJV)
    Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.


    Psalm 29:6 (KJV)
    He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.


    Psalm 92:10 (KJV)
    But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.


    Isaiah 34:7 (KJV)
    And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.*

    According to the Bible God has a lot of wants, needs, plans, and understandings.
