Why do atheists spend so much time, attention, and energy refuting something that they don't believe even exists?!

Atheism is a religion, just like all the other religions, and it's followers are compelled to prostelitize to the nonbelievers.

The only difference being, is that their religion requires them to believe in nothing.

And obviously, messianic atheists have a very strong belief in their nothing, and feel that they must convert all the nonbelievers to their point of view.

No one ever prescribed a code of behavior or started a war to enforce their version of nothingness!

Show a mathematician or an engineer this proof and insist that you can't find the flaw and that math must be wrong:

1. a = b + 1
2. (a-b)a = (a-b)(b+1)
3. a2 - ab = ab + a - b2 - b
4. a2 - ab -a = ab + a -a - b2 - b
5. a(a - b - 1) = b(a - b - 1)
6. a = b
7. b + 1 = b
8. Therefore, 1 = 0

If you have no mathematicians or engineer friends, watch a blank TV and laugh your ass off at a nonexistent comedy show or do something else that denies physical reality. Some people will smile and leave you alone, others will just back away slowly, and yet others will vehemently try to explain to you that you are wrong.

The nastiest personal attacks on GLP are aimed
at people over their faith.

Why do atheist post such vile,blasphemist,ugly
things about a God they don't believe in??

Is that what Atheism is all about??

If you need a personal mathematician or engineer to spot a simple algebraic division by zero, then I question your own intelligence.

As for things that deny physical reality; I believe there are many things in this universe beyond my senses and even beyond my own physical limitations of understanding.

oh, probably b/c the god/jesus types spend all their time trying to covert "nonbelievers" into good little christians.
consider it an even distribution of opinion-sharing.

nasty personal attacks and insults.

The point is that it is obviously wrong, they will see it, and try to explain it to you. They'll also probably get pissed that you're too stupid to see it yourself (for clarity, you're just acting).

As for denying reality that's the thing. Perhaps talking to invisible people that you can't actually prove exist would have been a better analogy. If you are certain of something you cannot prove (or think you've proved when you haven't) then you are going to get some funny reactions.

And what category do string model theorists fall into in your tidy little observable universe?

Look you oversensitive woowoo, we get attacked too. I've lost count of the number of times I've been told that atheists are responsible for everything that's wrong with the world and that we have absolutely no concept or morality. We're also stupid, ignorant, gay and plotting to ban the Bible and force you all to become satanic mentally ill homosexuals just like us.

Yes, we can be rude. I'm sure you aren't happy that I've called you an oversensitive woowoo. Tough. Drop the persecution complex. I am calling you an oversensitive woowoo because, well, you as an individual made a post that was both woowoo and oversensitive. I do not feel that this is uncalled for.

HEY Thanatos,You need to lighten up Guy!!

I have no agenda,I'm even particularly religious,
I'm just curious as to why atheists are so
nasty and generally pissed off??

You've made an assumption about me that's completely
wrong!!!

From my perspective your the one who's oversensitive.

Its been about 30 years but I do recall you cannot divide by 0.

Is that the flaw?

HHHMmmmmmmm......how 'bout this:

Three men go to this hotel. There, the manager tells them that there is only one room left. The three people share that room for thirty dollars so each person pays ten dollars. Later the manager found out thatthe room is only 25 dollars. He calls the bell boy and tells them to give
the 5 dollars back. The bell boy decides that since you cannot divide 5dollars by 3 people, he took 2 for himself and returned to each person 1dollar. So each person paid 9 dollars and the bell boy has a two dollars.
That is 9 * 3 = 27 plus the bell boy's 2 dollars is 29 dollars. Where is the extra dollar?
