Whatever you want to think. I don't belong to a "religion" and Catholicism isn't the only "religion". As wrong and as much as the priests that commit these crimes should be punished on the worst way, doesn't take away from the fact that in comparison, to the thousands of priests, there are more good than rotten.
See, she does not blame anyone for thanking the lord. If this was a christian, they would say how atheists are going to burn in hell if they do not thank the lord.It seems atheists do not care what you believe in, as long as you do not force it upon others. Whereas, theists are always trying to shove their religion in everyones face.
I never understood why people say "thank god" or "thank Jesus" when in total destruction and chaos a grain of sand of was not destroyed.I survived a car crash, lost of my wife, kids, my limbs, my eyes and the doctor says that I 5 days to live...but thank god for that the Sun is shining today.
I am always amazed why anybody would 'Thank the LORD' for bringing tragedy into their life. Seems like the perfect opportunity to tell GOD to Go Fuck himself. Thanking the LORD when bad things happen seems masochistic to me.
1800's studies? K. There's also documented proof that prayer does work. When I get to a computer tomorrow, I can post a few.
Everyone is atheist and gay now -

Whereas, theists are always trying to shove their religion in everyones face.As Christopher Hitchens said about religion, "Second I hope I’ve made it clear that I’m perfectly happy for people to have these toys (religion) and to play with them at home, and hug them to themselves and share them with other people who come round and play with the toys. That’s, absolutely fine. They are not, to make me play with these toys. I will not play with the toys. Don’t bring the toys to my house. Don’t say my children must play with these toys. Don’t say my toys, might be a condom, here we go again, are not allowed by their toys. I’m not going to have any of that."
Atheists (the serious one) make fun of christians 24/7 I have family from both sides and even a harmless "Thank God Is Friday" comment on Facebook can open up a world of insults,
The fact that only a "few" priests abused little boys does not take away from the fact that more than likely thousands of children were abused. Its almost like youre implying that those thousands of children dont matter because it was only a few priests who are accused of this.Secondly, we do not know how many priests are abusing kids and not getting caught. It could be a lot more than you think.Also, my education has nothing to do with the fact that priests have and do abuse little boys. This is not a liberal or conservative standpoint. Its about protecting children. But your conservative beliefs have brainwashed you into believing that its always a liberal agenda. Child abuse has nothing to do with liberalism or conservatism.And you were also indoctrinated to believe in God. Whats your point? In fact, I never really took any courses that spoke about atheism. My schools have never indoctrinated me. In fact, I do not even recall being in a class where there were debates about atheism. Again, what is your point?Also, I do not consider myself close minded. In fact, I am open to the fact that a god may exist. You show me the evidence, Ill believe. It is you who is close minded, because you refuse to disbelieve in spite of evidence. That is the definition of being close minded. Know how to apply the definition properly.
You're arguing against a chimp with the IQ of a fried potato. I recommend cutting your losses (in time), lest you give it more fuel for the hateful and hilariously ill-founded brew of ignorance spewing forth from its anus and/or lest you allow some of the stupidity to infect your mind/brain -- a very real danger when interacting with dunces for extended periods.
Sir Galton was one of the first, if not the first to actually test the effects of prayer (christian prayer). His conclusion: no effect at all:http://galton.org/essays/1870-1879/galton-1872-fortnightly-review-efficacy-prayer.html
Whenever prayer doesn't work, the answer is always "god has a plan." Which if true would mean that god planned the wars, holocost, murderers, child molesters, rapists, sickness, disease, etc. If not true it would mean god doesn't answer prayer.
And when a miracle occurs, unforseen by anyone, what's the atheist answer?
Still waiting for this so called "proof".
