I believe that there is no God saying I can't go and see this movie or read that book and that I can believe whatever the hell I want to believe.

I had faith in humanity until I discovered what religious people were truly capable of. You don't see atheists suicide bombing, or killing abortion doctors.

If I became God right now, I'd end all the suffering and send everyone to a place of peace and plenty. Then I'd make an army of robots and fight them Aragorn-style.

Always with the atheists pretending to be Christian,huh? Apparently, atheists are a majority after all!
This was an excellent exercise in rambling. Was there a point?

I like to pretend that people like cartoonrat did not exist except as some random joke. Sometimes, I succeed but not very often.

First the goal is not to remove "God" from the pledge of allegiance- it is to make it optional, which it pretty much already is. (Actually the ultimate goal is to have everyone realize on their own that the 'god' part is not necessary). Burning the Bible? Of course not. We just want to put it in the fiction section where it belongs. You think everyone is flawed? Me too. But, this is all we have. Try to make the best of it while you can. To be successful in life live for today, strive for happiness, and be compassionate towards others. Finally, even with belief in god no one knows what existence means. Science offers good theories based on observed fact and research as to how we came to be, but existence will never have true purpose. For now we can claim that our reason for getting up in the morning is that we still don't know everything. Let the search for knowledge be your purpose. I wish cartoonrat would actually think analytically about his god. Although if he didn't believe in the first place like he claims he would have done that already, which leads me to wonder- are you lying? For Jesus?

"I don't believe in comic books."
Really ? There are STORES full of them, they're real dude...
But the real question is, why is it so hard to believe that if someone can come up with the incredible Hulk, or Superman, that the bible couldn't have been made up by someone, too ?
Also, personally I don't want to practice any religious ceremonies or traditions, because I'm not religious, but for Darth Vader's sake, I'm not stopping you guys from doing it. Jeez !

It might just be me but when I read this and others which sound similar do fundies especially christians just assume that atheists just hate them but ain't to bother about other religions?

Ok fundie children I'm going to go over this one more time.
* atheist is the correct spelling NOT athiest.
* "Their" is possession. "They're" is a contraction for They Are.
* The "Pledge of Allegiance" was not created on the same day as the USA, it came much later. The subject is called "History".... google it.
* paste is not food. Don't run with Scissors.
When you little fucking children can think like adults, maybe we'll let you sit at the big table and discuss it with us. until then STFU.

These people have no idea what they're talking about. On the one hand, atheists don't exist, they're just christians in denial, because nobody could know of god and not believe... but a christian who think he knows the TRUTH of the world, like this idiot, is just an atheist in disguise...
So that would be, a christian in denial pretending to be a christian? Give me a break.

They have delusions of godhood, they are self-righteous and they get angry if you refuse to kiss they're butt.
Ah, projection, the cause of and solution to all a fundie's problems!
So when you tell them that you believe in a power greater than them, they become jealous (Satan).
Speaking of delusions of godhood...
Some "Christians" act this way as well, but I think those are just athiests pretending to be christian.
The clue meter is reading zero.
If these athiests had their way, they would have "God" removed from "The Pledge of Allegiance".
Probably. What's so extreme about that?
They'd have all copies of the Holy Bible burned."
Why? Its just a book of mythology.
If an athiest ever acquired godlike power, he'd stop pretending to be a "good" person and take full advantage of his new abilities.
How does someone acquire god-like power and remain an atheist? What, would he not believe in himself?
I don't believe in comic books.
They still believe in you.
I believe everyone is flawed. VERY FLAWED. Everyone is capable of evil. I had no faith in people until I became christian.
Sounds like Christianity also boosted your ability to engage in double-think. Um...congratulations, I guess.
Before that, I was all these things above and I just thought life on planet earth was pointless for everyone. Without God, our existence means nothing. Just some random joke. So even if it wasn't real, we need it.
The next time you need money, try believing you have a million dollars and see how far that gets you.

If I had godlike power, I would:
1. Eradicate disease and general illness.
2. End suffering.
3. Come through the clouds and say hi, tell everyone on earth to chill out, etc.
4. Tell people to stop meaninglessly worshipping me.
5. Hang out and play tennis or Quake or something with people every so often.
6. Make some new planets, populated by anthropomorphic foxes.
7. Heal amputees.
8. Create inanimate objects with the properties of meat so that animals weren't violently eaten every five minutes.
9. Remove things like the needs to breathe, sleep and eat, so people could just do them for fun, whenever, instead of as a requirement to live (I'm omnipotent. Why would my creations need continued power sources?).
10. Make the world prettier. Big giant crystal structures all over the place or something, whatever.
...Dunno what use I'd have for evil things. I don't really think of evil stuff as particularly fun; extravagant stuff, maybe, useful stuff certainly, but evil? Nah.

*sigh* atheists don't worship anything and we don't believe that gods exist, let alone that we are gods. The "atheists" you are describing are made of pure straw.
And my existence means whatever I want it to mean. Right now it means having fun and learning stuff.

"If an athiest ever acquired godlike power, he'd stop pretending to be a "good" person and take full advantage of his new abilities."
Oh and like you wouldn't? You'd be smiting people left right and centre. My policies would be:
- The sky will be a different colour every day.
- Everybody will be sterile. Babies are obtained by filling out a written application.
- Hell will be the same as Heaven, but it will be impossible to find a working hairdryer.
- The management will have the right to confiscate automobiles at any time if they are being used improperly.
- Ditto for penises.
- Any country caught starting a war will be flipped over so a new one can be built on the underside.
- Get used to the fact that some mornings everybody on Earth will wake up to find i've put their hand in a bowl of warm water during the night. Sorry.

He says all that and that he doesn't believe in comic books...which is odd, because it sounds like he's been reading too many. Too much Death Note, specifically.

Damn, why didn't I mention something I would be sure to do if I got god-like powers:
Song and dance numbers. That's right, you heard me. I'm of the opinion that life would be so much cooler if at appropriate times, large groups of people suddenly started extremely well-coordinated song and dance numbers, like in the movies or on Broadway. They'd magically get all the knowledge and coordination they'd need to make it spectacular, it'd last about 5 minutes or so, and then people would just go on about their day.
On a related note, I would establish that I have the right to break out in song anytime, anywhere, and nobody is allowed togive me a weird look. And they'd be awesome songs well-sung, that would make everyone feel good and generally make the day brighter.
Then, I'd ban midwestern winters and all potholes everywhere.

Does this mean that if you stopped believing in god then you would stop pretending to be a good person too? I sometimes think that organised religion is there just to stop people like you from grabbing an AK-47 and just going nuts.

Considering that it wasn't there to begin with and the country got along just fine without it for decades, what's the big deal?

Its the line "I don't believe in comic books" that made me laugh. Oh but cartoonrat, it is so obvious that you do, what with the devilish, envious, wrathful, superhuman Christian atheists you think stride the planet dealing out random smitings.
On the other hand, that would make a pretty cool comic storyline...
