Amazing.................religious nontolerence at its finest.......here on Dave's.

Just when I think my life is in the crapper, I read what you guys spew out. What is it like to not have faith in anything, pretending to be higher then others? What is it like to down someone for reading the bible, or even talking about the bible?

Seems OK to support Muslims, the Korahn and other religiions....even non religion..........but when it comes to Christianity, its another story.

C''mon......lets here how enlightened most of you are and slam me for the post.

Honestly, I didn't see much if any religious intolerance in this thread. It's much more tolerant than many others that used to sprout up on Dave's.

I'd like to hear the kids singing that "I'm unique and unrepeatable" song to the tune of Ten Little Indians. They'd have to repeat that line a lot.

A lot of atheists are angry about Christainity. It's understandable really. A lot of people devote time and energy into their religion and if they come to the realisation that there's nothing behind the door a bit of anger is a natural response. When one bumps into people proselytizing it's annoying. I also get angry at people trying to sneak religion into science class and who call evolution religion.

But for the majority of Christains it's nothing more than their personal choice. In that case I even enjoy a rigorous exchange of views.

The CBC did a short documentary about Camp Quest(in part 3) and atheism.

yeah, as an atheist who was brought up christian i have a short fuse w/ proslythizers. the same for drunk drivers and child abusers. they are sentinent beings who have given over their critical thinking skills to a lower, more base source of gratification.

all we have is each other, right now, right here.

Your thread title= atheist sunday school

To me that, and the discussion you follow with, implies that children are being taught atheism.

However, I don't see any evidence of atheism being taught here.

For the record, I don't want atheism to be taught to anybody. Rather, I'd prefer people to come to their own conclusions.

To my knowledge, Ten Little Indians isn't an atheist hymn. The little snippet you provide suggests that:

we had to read greek and roman myths in my jesuit high school for the same reason: knowledge of them were important cultural touch stones. no stock was put in the historical value of such, but rather they were nice, relevant stories to know.

and they, like bible questions, of come up in trivia nights and are easy points for the adeptii.
