Well off the mark - no pun intended!

Atheism is just a dogmatic and philosophical as any other religion. But you won't here that from atheists here, their band wagon atheists....jumped on for the ride.

I'm so glad that you know everything about me and why I think the way that I do....

"The God Delusion" is an absolutely fantastic read.

It is, but only in the sense that all smiles are inherently religious. Since the definition of a smile is 'A facial expression characterized by an upward turn of the mouth', we can see that all facial expression are religious because there are facial expression in religion.

Lol no, not for one second.  I definitely don't see the AKC, Red Cross or even the KKK as being a religion (I use these as examples because seeing past posts about the definitions of religion).  As I see it, and this is my personal opinion, you have to worship something to be considered religious.

I have to agree with you on that.....I too  can never consider  these things as religious... and especially not because someone on the internet is hung up on it or someone wrote a book on his or her own opinions  ......  We all have our opinions and  pegging something religious  is just an opinion, not fact for us all to take in...

I personally cannot not call  an anti belief  a religon  

All this nonsense  of  -  Well see it LOOKS like a religion... Yea  I can treat my car like a BMW  kit her out to LOOK like one too, but she is still a ford focus...


There was this cartoon  about a romantic skunk....who was chasing this black cat with a bushy tail. The black cat run under some white paint...She ended up looking like a female skunk...He takes a fancy to her thinking she is a female skunk....but  still a black cat...

I didn't need any book's to tell me what to believe, if you dont believe in a god, you don't believe.
I would never let anyone tell me what is right, and wrong when it comes to beliefs.

It's all about you as an individual.

At school they tried to tell me Jesus was this, God was this... Blah Blah Blah... I rebelled everyday in Religious Education.

Why? Because i don't believe that preaching to me would ever achieve anything. I am my own person, i dont need anyone to tell me which religious sect to follow, what religion is the best, what is the "truth".
That's probably why I'm an athiest, or a rebel. Which ever way you look at it.

It is possible to know what to believe, without ever  reading a book. But reading certainly helps.

But is that not taking other peoples views and merging them with your own beliefs?

That's who it  is.......Goes to show you how good old classics are ...I loved that one with the black kitty...

So   Pepe Le Pew    is a good analogy.... The black kitty  may have  walked like a skunk and looked like a skunk..........But still NOT a skunk
