Holy fuck I'm regretting this as I type it but.... I gotta know what are the human advancements you envision that we need to achieve and how does anyone's belief in a God inhibit them from happening? quote:

ORIGINAL: Brain I don’t see God because there is no such thing. Why don’t you prove a unicorn is real? You can'tprove a lie. Oh please. The hyperbolic analogies get tiresome. Let's turn this around for a minute. If I started a thread about my belief in unicorns, exactly how much time, energy, and effort would you invest trying to debunk my belief? Or better yet, why would you start a thread in an effort to debunk the belief in unicorns? If the concept of God is such a strong disbelief that it doesn't even qualify as a belief to most atheists, why are you all focusing so much time on it? I come from a family of Italian Catholics on both my maternal and paternal side. My parents were both raised with religion, but I was not raised with religion. I have not raised my own child with religion either. I didn't even get married in a church. Why is it that I've managed to live my entire life (in an entire family of practicing Catholics) not having a problem with those who believe, and never having felt like it was being shoved down my throat? I see a church, like I notice a gas station on the street. It doesn't hurt me, it doesn't effect me...who gives a fuck why someone believes in God and what brought them to those beliefs? And why the fuck should they prove it to anyone? Frankly I'd rather be around happy God believers who are at peace with who they are, than a bunch of disgruntled atheists who lose sleep over things like unicorns. What positive effect does this crusade have on your lives?
