[I]It’s been reported recently that atheism is [URL="http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Global-News/2012/0815/Atheism-on-the-rise-around-the-globe"]on the rise[/URL] worldwide, while religiosity is declining. The relationship between the religious and non-religious has always been a tricky one; while many from each group eventually find themselves forced to admit that there is much to learn from the other, atheists still generally have a tough time accepting the role that religion plays in society—and are of the opinion that humanity would be better off leaving it behind, for a number of reasons. Here are ten of them.

[/I]I think there are many more.Can I get a rebuttal to the article?

Re: 10 Reasons for man to leave religion behind
 

Been an atheist since I was 8 started doubting the existence of God when I was 6. I was raised around religious people, and basically was the first person in my close family to be out as an atheist. I stopped believing in God soon after I figured out Santa Claus didn't exist. To me they are equally as improbable, they are based on the same concept of a being doing things that science says are physically impossible.

Similar for me, Bob. I asked my parents if I could see the different religions, visit and talk to them, none of them took a little kid seriously. All the University professors did, however. That was the difference for me. That, and science is true for everyone, not open to a mysteriously self serving way to some in particular.

What's to hate? I don't hate stupid people, I just am very guarded around people who actively do stupid things and encourage others to follow suit.

[B][I]The Inevitability Of Faith[/I][/B]

[I] Everyone believes in something. [/I][I]No one can endure the stress and cares of life without faith in something that cannot ultimately be proven.[/I][/quote]A perfect phrase to reassure the weak-minded.[I][quote=Giantone;1065076] Atheists cannot prove there is no God.[/quote][/I]

We don't have to. You're the one saying there's a god, you need to prove it. Remember: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. So far, zero evidence.

[quote=Giantone;1065076]
[B][I]The Limitations Of Science[/I][/B]

[I] Scientific method is limited to a process defined by that which is measurable and repeatable.[/I] [/quote]

As opposed to a select few telling what the truth is and you had better not disagree. Science is unlimited and peer reviewed.

[quote=Giantone;1065076]
[B][I]The Problems Of Evolution[/I][/B]

[I] Some have assumed that an evolutionary explanation of life would make God unnecessary. This overlooks some problems. Even if we assume that scientists will someday find enough "missing links" to confirm that life appeared and developed gradually over great periods of time, laws of probability would still show the need for a Creator.[/I][/quote]

The fossil record and abundant other evidence testify that organisms have evolved through time. Although no one observed those transformations, the indirect evidence is clear, unambiguous and compelling. Anyone denying evolution at this point can stand in the corner with the flat earthers.

[quote=Giantone;1065076][B]The Habits Of The Heart[/B]

Mankind has been described as incurably religious. In unguarded moments of trouble or surprise, in prayer or in profanity, references to deity persist. Those who would dismiss such thoughts as bad habits or social vices are left with unanswerable questions. Denying the existence of God does not dispel the mysteries of life.[/quote]Probably only described that way by theists desperate to cling onto their rapidly dwindling power.[I][/I]The rest of the points are too obviously written for the gullible or intellectually stunted to even waste time contradicting. If you believe anything written in that nonsense you're suffering delusion or have developmental problems that need to be handled by a professional.[I][/I]

Oh look ,


[url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/17/pope-benedict-defrocked-400-priests-child-abuse]Pope Benedict XVI defrocked nearly 400 priests for child abuse | World news | theguardian.com[/url]



Pope Benedict XVI defrocked nearly 400 priests in just two years, for molesting children, according to a document obtained by the Associated Press.
The statistics for 2011 and 2012 show a dramatic increase over the 171 priests removed in 2008 and 2009, when the Vatican first provided details on the number of priests who have been defrocked. Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi confirmed that the figures were accurate.

Benny, not Frankie. Try to pay attention, cultist.

As you're not a mental health professional I'll ignore your advice.

If you go back and re-read the thread it will become apparent why you're wrong, yet again.
