*Ahem* slight rant

So what you're saying is that I didnt actually use any of those words.

What definition of God did you see to say he's 'all loving?'

And again maybe the God you dont believe in is all those things but the God I believe in I just cant say that is true or untrue.

Then please, define what you believe ''God'' is in your opinion so everyone here can use the correct terms. You don't think your God is all-loving, what else do think he is/is not. It'll save everyone hassle.

And lets say God didnt exist? easy right for you, then how can you explain why earth has oxygen, and no other planet around us has? That's if you believe in other planets, maybe no other planet exists but yet you believe there are because somebody told you.

Some things are because they are, I cant explain it, I dont know why God does these things, maybe there is no God but what harm is it doing you if you I believe in something?

I literally banged my head against the keyboard at that. One word: Photosynthesis! You know, the thing plants do?! Just because you can't explain something, does not mean it already hasn't been.

And of course there are other planets! I can give you a fecking telescope and you can see them for yourself, not just because a man in a lab coat told us there was. You may as well have said there's no Moon while you were at it. -.-

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as crass, but you're just being ignorant yourself, even if by accident. If you're going to make a statement like ''Explain how oxygen on this planet.'' then have some evidence to back it up YOUR explanation, and not just ''my invisible friend did it.''

You seem particularly overly non-religious, have you got 100% proof of no god or do you blindly believe what some scientist tells you?

Burden of proof lies with those that make the statement, ergo ''I believe in God'' Again, you are a person that does not understand that Atheism is effectively, the default position of belief and non-belief.

And as for ''blindly believing what some scientist tells you?'', nearly every single thing that science has provided us, can be tested by independent observers. I believe scientists when they say Gravity exists. I can't see it, touch, taste or smell it, but I CAN test it. I can pick something up and observe gravity working. And if tomorrow, a scientist came with an alternative explanation as to why things fall back to the ground and he had concrete, repeatable experiments that prove his hypothesis, then we would revise the Law of Gravity. Simples.

Now I know it's 'cool' and 'hip' not to believe in ice cream but deep down I think you believe in ice cream and would really like some ice cream.

I actually take a large amount of offence from this. I'm an atheist and yet I still have not told my own parents because of what I have heard from other atheists who told their families, and were disowned and do not speak to them. We don't choose to be atheists because it's ''hip'' or ''cool''. We do it because we have some ****ing common sense.

And no, deep down, I really don't need an imaginary friend who will make all my dreams come true if I wish hard enough.

So I'll leave you with this statement, I always finds works well: I don't believe in your God, for the same reasons you don't believe in Zeus, Apollo or Ra.

That's my rant over!

Uh, down where now? On the turtle?

No, think he means Hell, considering that's where we're all apparently going. Least it'll be warmer than where we are now.

What does the country a person was born in have anything to do with their beliefs.

Isn't it obvious?

Funnily enough, people born here in Ireland are usually Christian, mostly Catholic. And people born in say, Israel are funnily enough, Jewish.

I suppose if you're lucky you may meet a Muslim in Iran... oh right...

I mean really, why even ask that question?
