If it were THAT easy to disprove then it would not have hundreds of millions of believers.There are hundreds of millions of Hindus too. Does their numerousness make their religious beliefs as true as yours? |

Prove they are entirely myths.Read what Bishop Spong has to say about the Christmas story. Prove that there is no God. Aside from the ridiculousness of the idea of proving a negative, what do you mean by "God" anyway? |

At least they believe in some sort of supreme power or powers. We can debate who or what that power is but atheists want to tear down everything the majority of this planet believes in. |

That shows no conviction in one's belief in the existence of no god(s).You seem to want to describe atheism as a religion, rather than as the rejection of religion. You fail. |

I think the fact that is lost here and why atheists are able to get away with attacking Islam while Christians can't is because when atheists do it, it is understood that we're doing it in the context of attacking all religions. When Christians attack Islam, they are doing to decry one religion in favor of another, which is more suspect... |

There is no Creator, no Plan, no reason for existence, no ultimate goal. Life is an accident of chemistry, the universe a collection of soul-less laws leading to nothing.This is why I embrace Deism. All that is required is the acceptance of an all powerful Creator and that there is a plan (not the Cylon plan, that sorta didn't work out). Everything else after this is open for debate and essentially pointless. Science is God's rule, He does not actively interfere in the process and hasn't since the Big Bang. |

Yes, because it assigns substantially more value to our lives as we have them, because that is all we have, as best as we can determine. This is why it is far more important to help one another and improve the quality of the lives of our fellow man, and to be opposed to needless death, because every life is all the more precious. |
