Atheism is a freakish belief that afflicts people without normal social skills, who are unable to see the divine nature of the universe we all inhabit. But, it is a freakish belief which has a certain appearance of internal consistency, a certain childlike simplicity of explanation, that can be made put forward in a good light if you have your arguments prepared, and if you have your axioms defined.

I will be the first to admit some of us are not perfect, but really, have you checked out a church service recently?
Most church attendees are
* In search of some sort of social contact
* going because mommy & daddy went
* spouse and/kids go (the Homer Simpson reason)
* football season hasn't started yet, but vacation season over
* on way to somewhere else, so might as well...
* preparing for children's baptism or confirmation
* tribalism (this is my god, goddamnit)
And a very few who experience exceptionally strong religious feelings. The above avoid them at all costs.
Atheism is the only logical conclusion. All these religions, gods, foolishnesses, atrocities... the religous are truly deluded. Humanity is deluded.
"a certain childlike simplicity of explanation"
Yeah, unlike Christians who believe god did everything and we had to be created to look just like 'im. That's a mature and complex explanation, alright. [:B
Atheism is a freakish belief...
Do you know what atheism is?
that afflicts people without normal social skills
Like rude, self righteous, arrogant fundies?

I am repeatedly stunned by people believing in angels, demons, hell, ultimate and pure evil/good and all all-knowing all-loving being that has no problem with torturing you forever because you didn't believe he existed calling people who believe science, logic and reason are the best methods into understanding the universe "childish".
It's like Ted Bundy calling a pacifist activist a crazy killer.
"..a certain childlike simplicity of explanation, that can be made put forward in a good light if you have your arguments prepared, and if you have your axioms defined."
I think it's fairly obvious who the recipient of this year's "Cry Some More" award is going to be.

So you're saying that atheism makes sense if you have the brain power to think straight? Well Mr. Wright, that's not fundie at all.
Curse that damned reality! It causes me to lie and be a deluded tosser. Blast! Why oh why must my barbaric superstitions be continually forced into smaller and smaller gaps?
I lament the day when men learned to utilise fire, tools and wheels. It's been a wild ascent to civilisation and science ever since. How inconvenient for us staunch proponents of sky beasts.
That has to rank as the most cleverly stated untrue statement ever made.
Atheism is a freakish belief that afflicts people without normal social skills
Yes, and what you consider normal social skills includes people killing one another over religious differences.
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." - Jiddu Krishnamurti
You know, you'd think if this guy's faith is so strong, pure, and right, he wouldn't feel the need to lie so much...about everything.
So science is the simplistic, childish belief.
But magic is the mature, well rounded, one true answer. Wow, just wow. John never ceases to amaze with his backwards logic.
Atheist don't need to explain any sort of divine aspect of the universe because there is none. Nothing that has ever been observed has ever pointed to something that cannot be explained through logical naturalistic laws or by finding errors in our understanding of them and updating our understanding as needed.
If we've left something out, tell us what exactly you are talking about. I'm 99.9% sure that what you come up with either has a reasonable explanation, or is a hoax. On the off chance that it cannot be explained by our current understanding of the universe, then we'll change our understanding to account for the discrepancy.
Religion is a freakish belief that afflicts people without normal social skills, who are unable to see the scientific and natural explanations of the universe we all inhabit. It is a freakish belief with a laughably childlike simplicity of explanation which can be made to appear internally consistent if you lie, misrepresent the other side, cherry-pick information from an ancient book, completely ignore any evidence from nature, and answer "goddidit" for any question that might require using anything even remotely near rational thought or critical analysis to discern.
Fixed.

Right and atheists are the freaks. http://thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/09/02/the-us-military-fears-war-with-syria/

people without normal social skills
Oh come on, we're not all as terrible as TheAmazingAtheist. That's just mean.
that sounds more more like the brand of religion you adhere to johnny, not atheism.
insulting people sure is a good sign of your lack of social skills.
Atheism is a freakish belief that afflicts people without normal social skills,
But I thought you have been an atheist for 35 years yourself?
You wouldn’t bearing false witness about something like that, would you?

Destroyed argument much, John C...

", a certain childlike simplicity of explanation,"
Science is hard. Fundie fairy tales have childlike simplicity of explanation.
This is why you accept fundieism but not atheism. Atheism is too hard for you to understand, while you are able to understand childish fairy tales.
"Atheism is a freakish belief that afflicts people without normal social skills,..."
- So the folks of Rapture Ready are all atheists?
Let's see how simple atheism is vs Theism
Atheism
"While how life originally began is unknown, evidence suggests that creatures change over time. This can be seen by..."
vs
"God said "let there be land critters" and thus there were land critters."
First of all, atheism is a LACK of belief, not a belief itself. Because you don't know what atheism is, you have no right to criticize it. Complaining about shows you don't watch, much?
“Atheism is a freakish belief that afflicts people without normal social skills,”
Sixteen submarine patrols, i’m in no position to claim normal social skills. But i really don’t think that’s the problem.
“ who are unable to see the divine nature of the universe we all inhabit.”
Yes. I am unable to look around me and see any gods. MAYBE Aphrodite, if i look around at a strip club.
“But, it is a freakish belief which has a certain appearance of internal consistency,”
How generous of you!
“a certain childlike simplicity of explanation,”
I don’t believe in gods. How complicated can that BE?
“that can be made put forward in a good light if you have your arguments prepared, and if you have your axioms defined.”
Not my job to explain atheism. Which is good, there are SO MANY people in line, waiting for a chance to explain it for me.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
