Hmm.. heath problems will always exist, its the ability for everyone to be able to get heath care that we should be working on. BTW, if we keep giving "researchers" money to find a cure, why would they give up $millions they'd lose if they found a cure?? Answer they won't & they didn't.
Your biggest error is thinking all atheists act the same. The beauty of being an atheist is thumbing your nose at dogma. While I'm sorry, one mocked your god. I have little power to stop them. Atheists are not a conglomerate.
I cant control the door knockers, the zealots, the extremists.
The door knockers are the most innocent of the bunch. Most of the time you can tell them that your spirituality is personal, wish them a good day and then the conversation is over.
Two-way street, then. Atheists are as varied as types of theists. Just last week, I was working on my auto, and two kids on their mission came up my driveway. We had a chat for 20 min or so. It's what happens when you're not an a$$hole. It has nothing to do with any beliefs.
because 1) religion is bullshit and lies, 2) believing religious lies makes it easier for people to do Bad Things, and 3) we should encourage people to want to believe in True Things.
if something is True, people should believe it. if they don't, they risk harming themselves or others, and we evolved specifically to avoid that sort of thing.
How is that bullying? I see it as defending themselves. Atheists are regularly attacked, have a history of being bullied and killed by the religious. The religious make laws to bully and discriminate against atheists. How often is that happening the opposite way? https://elm.umaryland.edu/voices-and-opinions/2022/Oppression-Against-Atheists.php
because my life kinda depends on their opinion (there's a lot of religious people and their vote counts) and im tired of them saying and believing crazy shit
If you are a theist, particularly a follower of the god of Abraham, you worship a god who could, for example, stop all child molesters with a single thought. Yet it does not. And you worship its very being. So you must approve of that behavior.
Look… if someone values blind loyalty to evidence backed self-preservation… let evolution sort them out! We don’t need to batter our heads against a wall to keep them alive!
Nobody is mocking your belief in god but when people take it to the extremes that they harm themselves it then becomes a problem ! Anti vax for a example !
Exactly… Christianity, as we know it, descended from cults born during the Roman occupation of the areas around Jerusalem. After a few hundred thousand years it was as big a cult as the other Pagan ones. After one Emperor decided that it should be Jupiter who chooses the ruler, and not corrupt…
If they believe god will save them… they are stupid!
Look… there are two types of person in this world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data…

So trust proprietary science more than your body's natural ability to heal when you take care of it?
You don’t have faith, so what? Does that give you the right to offend people?

#1 requires faith
#2 religion does lead people to do bad things
"knowledge" is not faith, you gawddamn pancake.
It must suck to be you.

that's just how the world works my dude.
If you don’t speak out against bullying, it will get worse.
I’m ok with atheism. As a Christian, we are not to challenge the free will of others.
Spirituality is deeply personal…should be any way.
My bad.
Interesting article though. It would have gone a long way for your point if it didn’t have the disclaimer at the bottom.
Tell me more.
I think your problem is with stupidity more than religion.

That said, do you believe the Big Bang invalidates God?
