[quote:Anonymous Coward 20657814:MV8xOTY0NDcwXzMyOTYxMzQ1XzZGQTdFRkFC] [quote:Salt:MV8xOTY0NDcwXzMyOTYwNjc2XzYzRjQ0ODVD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 20657814:MV8xOTY0NDcwXzMyOTYwMzQzXzNFNzgyREZC] [quote:Salt:MV8xOTY0NDcwXzMyOTYwMjM5XzkwMkUzODE1] i spent most of my adult life as an atheist. i was a hardcore realist who thought anything spiritual (or invisible) was absolutely absurd. then i had a significant ufo/paranormal experience. that was 20 yrs ago. now i think differently. very differently. [/quote] Well, good for you, but excuse me if I don't buy your story. Here is the thing...Christians tell me that they believe in talking donkeys, talking bushes and talking snakes. I don't think that is rational or intelligent to believe that. I have never seen a UFO. If I ever do, then I may believe differently than I do today. Until that time, I will remain a realist and an atheist. And I will also view your experience very skeptically because I have no other point of reference. And if you did have some encounter with a UFO, then why do you include those biblical quotes, along with the quote from Cooper. I know about him, I have read the stories. I just don't believe in anything I have never experienced personally. I only believe in things I can see, touch, smell, etc. or in things science has proven to be true. Like evolution, for instance. I believe we evolved from lower life forms because there is proof of that. I don't know if alien DNA is in our blood. I won't believe that until proven. That is where I am coming from. Maybe you think the God of the Bible is an alien. If so, he sure is a brutal monster of an alien. And I still wonder why you include the quotes from the Bible and why you seem to dislike atheists??? [/quote] my post was not directed to you. i don't give a flying fig what you buy or don't buy. you have free will just as i have free will. use it wisely. your anger toward christians is pretty typical. do me a favor, do not lump every believer into the fundie hellfire brimstone eternal damnation category. not all believers are the same. i don't dislike anybody. it is not a personal thing. i disagree with the atheistic belief set. that doesn't mean i hate atheists. i refused to believe in anything spiritual in the days of my past. science and fact were my gods. then i was introduced to things i couldn't explain. it wasn't just me, it was a group of us. this experienced launched a search for answers. took a lot of years, but i got answers. they were as surprising to me as i am sure they would be to somebody who thinks like you do. [/quote] Look, you don't fool me. I can see through this crap. No, not all believers are the same. DAHHH, that doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out. Do you think I don't see the Brethren, Baptist, Catholic, etc. denominations? I don't care what you believe. It isn't important, like you seem to think it is. It is just your BELIEFS. I have mine, you have yours. You started this by speaking out in a negative way against atheism. I never said you HATED atheists, I said you seem to dislike them. Am I wrong? I didn't think so. I don't care if you are a Universalist who believes God saves everyone. I went through that shit for a while too. Then I came to see that the Bible must be read as a WHOLE. You have to take the good and the bad parts together. You probably see God in a baby or a puppy but fail to see God in a hurricane or a tsunami. That is how you read the Bible. You only see the bits you like and disregard all the bits you don't like. You can't do this. I have nothing against you as I don't know you. I just don't think people live forever. I think we die and turn to dust. I think this is why atheists are shunned. We see things realistically. You are very vague about what happened to you. That makes me skeptical, to say the least. I don't really care if you spent a night on an exam table in a UFO. I think mental hospitals are full of people who see all kinds of things. But that is just MY opinion. We all have those, you know??

An atheist group in in Charlotte, N.C., put up two huge billboards Monday ridiculing Christianity and Mormonism.
The billboard against Christianity calls God "sadistic" and "useless," while the display against Mormonism calls God a "space alien."
