in the 50's the american govt (mainly joe mccarthy) believed that communists were atheist- so that's where i was comin from there. i know that communism has no dictation over religion

i don't know about his problem, but i got a busload of problems with religion, not just christianity.my main problem is how religion limits the human species.how you indoctrinate your children and force them to believe in god with punishment of eternal torture and death.how creationist are trying to teach bullshit intelligent design in classrooms.how terrorism is rooted in religion and fighting for their godi can go on for days but i'm out of characters

To Imthormydadcom...For not believing in God and claiming he's "non existant" you sure are angry at him. That seems to be a pattern with athiests, angry at something they claim not to believe in. What's your problem?

Btw, like trintaz, I do like the way you did the video, as you seem to make your points without trying to take jabs at, or needlessly offend others, which is very rare for youtube videos arguing a particular viewpoint.

He became more Christian when he got involved in the civil war, which is well explored in some recent biographies. For a brief synopsis see the slate article: "Lincoln's Religious QuestWhy his faith won't suit either side in the culture wars."In fact, his most famous non-Christian quote is even less reliable than the Bush one, as the only person to record it was NOT EVEN LIVING when Lincoln DIED, and was not a historian (what he was, of course, was another atheist activist.) It has no source

rdiofreeurope,and yet Abraham Lincoln made incredibly inflammatory comments against religion before being elected. His friends tried to tone down his comments because they didn't think atheists could be elected. Hmm....

Look, religious people are often trying to controll people, blaming others for not having a morality because atheists/other beleivers moralities doesn't equal THEIR OWN screwed moralities. They want to give the state more power so that people who think the wrong thoughts can be exterminated or mildly sentenced to jail a few years.You can have your thoughts as longh as we can have ours without having less rights than you have. In americca atheists are discriminated agianst.

Communists actually believe in good, my friend is a communsit and a christian, he thinks god wants the states to controll us and give to the poor by force and shit like that, actually, chrisitianity would prosper just as good in communism.

How can you take the bible seriously.

Nothing can change that god is a non existent dictator and that he is controlling us and restricts our freedoms, fuck god, I rather choose to be FREE from mental slavery.
