I hope that all professing atheists do what this former sin-loving atheist did and confess that I knew along that God existed and that evolution was a marketing scheme.

Okay:
Cats .
Ahhhh, the "former atheist" gambit. Yeah, sorry. You're just someone who didn't have religion for a longer period of time than most before inevitably taking the evangelical bait hook, line, and sinker. Your belief is not proof, and it is not made to be any more convincing when you argue that you once didn't believe it either. Especilly when you are wrong.
Er, everyone is a former atheist.
No-one is born with an innate knowledge of Middle-Eastern Bronze Age folktales (or any other belief system for that matter).
If you "knew" all along that God existed, then you were never really an atheist, which makes you a lying sack of shit from the get go.
As to your "knowledge" of the existence of God, strike two on the Bullshit Batter Up. No one can "know" what is essentially, by your own definition, unknowable.
And, for the sit down pitch, "evolution was a marketing scheme" means yer outta there.
Mighty Geoff has struck out, no joy in Fundieville.
Where does this "atheists secretly think there's a deity" thing come from? Why not take people at their word about their philosophical beliefs? Most people I know do, until proven otherwise.
Also, what exactly is evolution marketing and where can I buy it?
ArmandT:"As opposed to megachurches, the CBT and the CSE?"
Wait...CBT? As in "Cock and Ball Torture"???
(I of course am referring to the sadomasochist community's sure outrage at being connected in any way to Christian fundamentalists.)
I hope that all professing atheists do what this former sin-loving atheist did and confess that I knew along that God existed and that evolution was a marketing scheme.
Congratulations on being soft, spineless, and weak-minded.
I hope you remember the 9th commandment geoff, cause you are lying bigtime. I am not an atheist and I believe in evolution as do many other Christians, agnostics, and members of other religions. And if you were an atheist, which I doubt, who the hell gave you the right to speak for anybody besides yourself anyway? You are simply a liar.
It's funny how all these supposed former-atheists generally turn out to have been either agnostic or non-practicing Christians when they go into detail about their former belief system. Although I'm sure that there are people who were completely atheist prior to joining the christ cult, it does seem that "former-atheist" is a fairly broad term with these people. Nine times out of ten, this "atheism" they're talking about boils down to the few months they spent questioning their faith as teenagers.
Oh, and I've met plenty of former-Christians who "confess" that, deep down, they knew that God wasn't real, and that evolution makes a hell of a lot more sense than some bearded dude in the sky poofing everything into existence, then torturing his creations for 6000 odd years.
... former sin-loving atheist ...
He once touched a girl's breast, and on another occasion he drank a six-pack of beer.
"evolution was a marketing scheme"
Apparently the marketing scheme was "spore", in the making since the 1850's.
Marketing scheme?
...Marketing scheme?!
WTF.
If we knew along that God exists we wouldn't be atheists, would we?
And exactly what is evolution supposed to be marketing?
Lying for Christ is still lying, Geoff. If you were an atheist, you'd know that we think "sins" are arbitrary nonsense, and that we "knew all along" that all gods, goddesses and other deities are just as imaginary.
Marketing scheme? You ought to get a brain CAT scan, dearie; it seems something is restricting your thinking abilities.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
