I have to admit I strongly agree with the main 3 values AA upholds. I feel that
we should loves ourselves and our fellow man and that we should strive to make
the world a better place for all humans. I feel that religions aim to control
and are tools for the manipulation of people and tools used by those in power.
But this is not a problem inherent in religion rather a problem inherent in those
that aim to control. However, many people need religion. They may not have the
critical ability to distinguish right from wrong on thier own. Maybe there are
those that without telling them that hurting people is wrong would go around
raping and stealing and doing such things because they love themselves. The golden
rule is do unto others as you would have others do unto you. This I believe, not
in jihad, not in prayer and not in giving $ to the church. However, many religious
organizations do strive to help the fellow man and love the fellow man. They provide
soup kitchens and shelters. Is this so wrong? While I do not belive in religion
I do believe in a greater being. Something had to begin everything no matter how
much evidence there is for evolution or other life in the universe. It could not
just come out of nowhere. And while there is great pain in the world. There is
greater beauty, 99% of the people in this world just want happy, simple lives and
the best for thier families regardless of religion. There is more good in the
world and we have a choice. How much blood has been shed in God's name.

To the former Mormon:
I believe that you are right in that you cannot discern truth from falsehood from your subjective feelings or a "fire burning in you bosom." No one should have blind faith in anything. But keep in mind that, as human beings, we cannot comprehend even a small percent of the complex truth that is out there in the universe.
Why, electricity wasn't even aroun until around 100 years ago, give or take a few decades. Knowledge has increased exponentially in the last 100-150 years in medicine, science, etc. However, I believe that there is still a lot to learn--things that will really blow our minds. I believe that energy is neither created or destroyed. Where did energy come from? It was ALWAYS THERE (awesooommmmeee!!!!!) I believe that the Universal Mind was, is, and always will be this energy. I don't know if you've heard of things like this, but I hope it gives you something interesting to think about and respond to. God bless you.

To Randy Meyers who asked this question (posted Oct.21) "Why do you consider
it unlikely or illogical for the heavens to declare the glory of God as the master
designer?"
Going by your logic, I'd like you to tell me who created your God ("master
designer"-your term). I suppose your God has a grandfather and grandmother....master
designer's parents' parents.
Just because you don't know where we came from, doesn't mean that you have to make
a potshot guess...God in this case.
Also, referring to your statement that the "heavens declare(d)the glory of God
as the master designer"- did the heavens really do that? ---I ask tongue-in-cheek.

The Man Who Was Never Born is a play which utilizes Goethe's concept of The Faustian

The president of Finland (Tarja Halonen) has presented in her secret speech a genocide of the Finns at Maarianhamina on April 21, 2001.
Halonen's speech violates the ROME STATUTE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, Article 6, Genocide
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Halonen's intent is to destroy a national and ethnical Finnish group by transferring Finnish children to another group.
Extreme nationalist writer Jörn Donner in newspaper "Johnny Kniga" 6 / 2003
thought that the Finnish language and its speakers should have be destructed
in the 19th century.

this cause I wsn't sure what else to do with it. This is a
nice site and it's cool to know that I'm not alone.....
Roger Jones, the mayor of Greenville County, Tenn., is
asking all 95 counties in the state to proclaim "God as
the foundation of our national heritage." Jones himself
has a copy of the Ten Commandments posted in his
office.
Other counties are following Jones' lead. Trousdale

given people compared to the amount of conflicts that have risen, then you're

I attended the atheism vs. christianity debate via satalite at a church. I was
assuming it would make me feel spiritual and probably bad for leaving church.
Instead it did the oposite, it made me see how naieve christians really are. I
never saw so many people hear only what they wanted to, behave so closed minded,
and it was totally one sided. I chose to stay away from it cause it just breeds
hate. I've had people go apeshit on me for saying I'm not a christian. They scare
the hell out of me, these people are some of the most nastiest people you will
ever meet. Always hiding behind the church so they can get away with murder basically.
No matter how horrid they behave, they honestly believe that it's ok, and no need
to apologize, cause god has forgiven them. Now that's scary. I feel sorry for
them cause they're brainwashed and out hurting peoples feelings plus have no
remorse for their own behavior. It just leads to trouble. I feel that I'm a better
person being atheist. I don't judge others, and I do acts of kindness out of
compassion not cause I want brownie points at church. It's a shame christians are
so full of hate and anger.

I am glad to see American Atheists on the web.
I have been god-free since high school, and remember
the days I fondly read the American Atheist magazine
to which my friend at Texas A&M University had a
subscription.
To me, religion makes so much more sense when we
acknowledge that it was created entirely by humans,
reflecting their fears, desires, and (mis)conceptions
of a physical world not yet understood.
I read some of the messages from theists in this
guestbook and could only grin. I always get a chuckle
out of hearing someone say he/she is a "proud Christian".
Do they forget that pride is a sin, or at best, a vice,
according to their religion? But, then, inconsistency
has never been a stranger to the religious.
Anyway, folks, keep up the good work!

The Profane and Sacred are two sides of the same coin with no monetary value. The coin of Reason and Logic will sustain our Civilisation. To me, Atheism has always been just a framework from which to empirically evaluate and decipher the material world and the eternal quest of humanity to eke a meagre existence in a world devoid of emmanent conscious purpose. Of course, meaning and purpose is generated by the collective social values of the various cultures around the world.

I have been made to feel uncomfortable because of my beliefs(or lack of them)
It's good to know that there are other people smart enough not to base their
life on superstition & primitive explanations of the universe.

I'm glad this organisation exists - I've been an atheist since I was nine years
old. Mostly I resent the idea that atheism means you have no awe or wonder at
the universe - the more I learn about science, my wonder multiplies.

I was just reading the "A paranoid nation" article, and from whatelse
I read on this site and other Athiest sites. I must say, Athiests really try
to force their beliefs on everyone, pretty ironic if you ask me. That Athiests
claim religions are bad because of the violence they cause, and yet, while not
violent, it seems few Ahtiests can let religions be at peace, rather trying to
destroy everything they are.
This coincides with the "A paranoid nation" which talks about Masonry,
masons believing in God, do you really think you can contend with an organization
that survived the persecutions of the Catholics since the 1300s, that have survived
the fires of other nations, and that has given birth to the Mighty America?
Just an observation.

in a frenzy of religious destruction by fanatics in turbans and our rights are
trampled by fanatics in ties. Religion is dangerous. Thanks for your site.

Well, I've been with many Atheist and religious people in my life. Some Atheist
were good people and some were nasty. Some religious poeple were very decent
people and others nasty. I've learned to judge people by their actions and not

Belgium
Link: Introduction
In Belgium, atheïsm is now deeply rooted in the community, in is teached in
our schools and it is the primary faith of my society. But all its teachings
backfire: the 'open mind' becomes amorality, criticism becomes selfjustification,
'freedom' becomes extreme individual freedom, not in the name of peace, love and
truth; always in the name of egoïsm, wealth, and the overpowering of the other.
This unconditional freedom creates the primitive society Hobbes talked about: a
society of all people for themselves, against everyone else. Don't fall into
this other extreme like we've done here. Don't be an agressive dogmatic, but
don't be a reductionist atheist either. I see God as Spinoza saw him, as one,
all and neverchanging, as the only and complete truth, as the only thing that
is without not-being. From this belief, I can read the koran, the veda, the bible
and many other religous metaphorical writings, and enjoy them as poetical attemps
to talk of God. The religous mindset is the culmination of our humanity, without
it reality becomes unreal and the individual mind becomes the only measure of things.
Clicking the attached link might show a more nuanced view on things.

Here's an oxymoron for you...God bless this site. :) I don't agree with what
you teach about God and Jesu on this site, but it made me look deeper into
God's word, and I grew stronger as a christian. Not exactly the reaction you
were looking for, eh? Hope you learn to see the truth. God is awesome!

Excellent site, good work guys. I personally an not an Atheist, but I certainly
am NOT a christian. I have my own beleifs about God and the afterlife, beleifs
which I have based on science and philosophy and I like to think are more rational
than the Christian outlook. I hope that one day the USA will seperate the church
and the state; for having a fundamentalist christian in the White House is no
better than having that Islamic guy, Iatola "Im a big fuckwit" whatever
he's name is in Iran. We will know the truth one day and then we can put this
Christianity SHIT to bed once and for all. Kepp it up guys
