For any interested parties:

A brand new fundy-forum is up, and it appears to be open to atheists (for now....<wink, wink>). Really though, be nice if you go there. It would be good to have another board where fundy Christians allow atheists to post. We are getting a reputation for being banned from Christian boards, and making our viewpoint understood is impossible when it is not even heard.

Here is one darling thread:

Atheism is a faith-based belief system

We have heard talk enough. We have listened to all the drowsy, idealess, vapid sermons that we wish to hear. We have read your Bible and the works of your best minds. We have heard your prayers, your solemn groans and your reverential amens. All these amount to less than nothing. We want one fact. We beg at the doors of your churches for just one little fact. We pass our hats along your pews and under your pulpits and implore you for just one fact. We know all about your mouldy wonders and your stale miracles. We want a this year's fact. We ask only one. Give us one fact for charity. Your miracles are too ancient. The witnesses have been dead for nearly two thousand years.
~ Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899)

The thing I find so interesting about the "atheists have the most faith" line is that you also have theists in threads like the following,
http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=90338

talking about how faith is just acting on your beliefs, or something equally innocuous. But how can I interpret

"It takes far more faith to believe in something-from-nothingness than it does intelligent design."

in any way other than that it must take a lot of self-deception to believe in something-from-nothingness, since it's so obviously absurd. Isn't that what the quote is trying to say?

I wonder which view of faith is more common.

"But remember also, logic dictates that an Atheist has no moral foundation to base any action they undertake. So as reason would attest, we in this chat group who are believers in God and Christ can expect no less than rudeness and insulting rhetoric from a person who holds us in contempt by the choices they have willingly made and the hateful opinions that flow from their wounded souls is only natural.

The Bible is clear on what it states about the person who says there is no God." :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:


Ye ole "Us vs Them" bullshit .

They’ve got a Christian Persecution forum there to satisfy all their whining needs. :boohoo:

Nothing there that interests me. No comparative religions except for Islam.

Jesus made a special point of discouraging the laying of emphasis on outer observances, and, indeed upon hard-and-fast rules and regulations of every kind. What he insisted upon was a certain spirit in one's conduct, knowing that when the spirit is right, the details will take care of themselves. Yet, in spite of this, the history of orthodox Christianity is largely made up of attempts to enforce all sorts of external observances on people.
~ Emmet Fox, American evangelist.
