First up, it seems that even death can't stop people from deciding your views are wrong. Thirty-seven years ago a man, an atheist man, was killed. But now he's become a saint. Does that mean I can declare Jesus to have been an atheist?

Who says there is no god? Why, with the clear logic presented here it is hard to argue that there is no god. I am wondering how many of you out there have had some of these used in conversations with you.

In this column one columnist admits she is an atheist.

So what?

Well, she does have a few interesting things about being an atheist and I figure some of you may enjoy the decent column.

For those of you not already aware, Safety Cap has a recent journal where he found http://www.godhatesamerica.com/

I suggest you check out both the journal and the website. While I have comments enabled here, that is mostly just for any of you looking to bring anything to my attention. Try to keep the discussion on topic in Safety Cap's journal.

What religion is not after money? They may have a facade like they are not, but all religions are based on greed. If not, why organize? Why put a sign on the door? Why try to convert people to your particular way?

Thursday (probably today by the time many of you read this) is the National Day of Prayer in the US. This is being officially recognized federally and has been adopted by all states in the union [1].

This week I would like to debate if atheism should be classified as a religion. On one hand we have the reasoning that atheism is a decision regarding a god. On the other we have the concept that atheism is the direct opposite of what makes a religion. Yet, the inverse of a color on the color wheel is still a color. On the other hand, black is the absence of color/light while white contains all colors so if white is religion and includes all practiced religions then perhaps atheism is th

Some of you may have thought that there weren't any true people opposed to the views of atheists. Well, look at the posting history for this account and notice 5 "overrated" downmods (1 2 3 4

Well, it seems that this account is generating some genuine interest from several angles. I hope this interest will bring beneficial things to discussions. I hope to post weekly discussion topics, but don't shoot me if we skip around, sometimes I just don't get good material. If you have something of interest, post a link to a JE suggesting it for a future discussion. Hopefully we won't fragment at that time for a discussion about it, but who really cares.

To get the juices flowing in the group I'm trying to create consider this article.

one nation, under reason

If you're an atheist, stand up and post here to be friended. If you know of someone (or are someone) who are insenstive to non-beleivers stand up and identify them.

Also, point out those half-assed attempts at trying to be civil. You know, people who post those "You're an idiot... you're wrong... you're so wrong you're an idiot... but Jebus and I love you" messages.
