  1.  @sowhat184  ... and yet their message resonates with millions of people who know in their hearts that the killing has gone on for far too long and at such great expense.

  2. ​ @sowhat184  That's too bad, because what they're saying seems more in line with what God's Plan for humanity would be, assuming there were a God with even the vaguest of plans.

  3.  @isabeljimenez6067  I lack the faith to be atheist. Belief in and denial of God are equally faith-based, as both are unprovable, with no physical means of being disconfirmed. I'm a superstitious agnostic raised as a Christian. I think Jesus gave us a blueprint for living in this world, and using the brain God gave us to judge right and wrong in real time. I suspect the rest of what's baked into organized Christian doctrine is political in nature, and the main driving force behind the virality of the faith. But to me, that doesn't mean I throw the baby out with the bathwater. Jesus broke the law to help a person in need on the sabbath, when the law forbade any labor. He did what was right, and he faced the ultimate penalty for it. He didn't try to get away with it, because he was right. He did it in the open and didn't deny it. Peaceful civil disobedience in the light of day that harmed no one. While a "good" atheist and a religious person will arrive at similar codes of ethics, I'm not sure that most atheists consciously examine their root assumptions. Two acts of faith I make: 1. Life is good and 2. I didn't create it. (I only partake of it. I'm just along for the ride.). Appreciation and humility work pretty well, and pretty much everything else follows. Religious people are more explicit about their assumptions than most atheists I've known. Debunking dogma is not proof.

  4. Don't end declarative sentences on a rising tone, as if you're asking a question.
