Living in the bible belt, I have learned to say thank you when someone says “God Bless You.” or when they tell me that they are praying for me. Most of the time it is their attempt to be nice. However, people who insist on being polite in this manner should ask first. So, I appreciate your concern but having a degree in anthropology with an emphasis on religious studies I still see the whole illogical charade as emotional blackmail. I understand the development, the history, and the anthropological need for religion but it gives me hope that we, as a society, are progressing out of this need into an age where knowledge, love and compassion dominate on their own behalf.

No nick, you are going to go to Hell, cos god said that those who don’t believe in him are doomed to everlasting hell. (added grammatical effects). But then he says he will forgive you, so all you have to do, is JUST before you hit hells entrance is repent, HEYYYYYY all solved. or maybe you can do it after.. check out hell, shoot some 8 ball, visit a few pups, then when its boring n all repent and TA DA you are in heaven, where you …. um.. you sit on clouds playing the harps?

Apparently, this person chose to ignore and/or disrespect the fact that this website is “for discussions of religion and ethics from an atheist perspective”.

Let’s see are you talking about the Bible that contradicts itself too many times to count? Or the one that allows for all kinds of dispicable acts in the name of God? Hmmm…. I think I can do with out that kind of love…. Thanks for the offer though.

I think that’s how a lot of us started down the path.

“Oddly, it was after reading the Bible through for the first time that I started heading down the path to atheism.”

Good for you! I’m glad!
