Atheism
I have been doing a lot of what you might call "soul" searching recently and have come to the conclusion that Atheism is definitely the way to live your life and have decided to go all evangelical and advertise this wonderful lack of belief.
Atheism allows you to do many things, one of which is not rot for all eternity in hell - because quite frankly there isn't one.
Atheism allows you to develop your own morals without some shouty bloke telling you what to think, do or say.
Take the 10 Commandments from Judeo-Christian belief:
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me - Why? There are some kick ass gods out there. The Hindu gods are cool and you can't forget just how great the entire Norse pantheon was, Ragnarok itself rocked!
2. No images of me or something - doesn't that conflict with the whole "made in my image" thing? So your god is allowed to do it but not me?
3. Don't take gods name in vain - yeah I may have screwed up there, I am definitely going to he... but there isn't one, and if there is I just spent the last 2 days in Watford surely that's enough penance.
4. Keep the sabbath holy - um... which day would that be then? Just to make sure I don't work Saturdays or Sundays, unless I do overtime.
5. Honour your father and your mother - well I do love my mum, but not enough to point out that she has a 'tache. As for my father, perhaps there should have been an "honour thy kid" commandment... the asshole.
6. Don't kill people - done. Completely agree (pixels don't count).
7. No adultery - commitment even means things to heathens believe it or not.
8. Don't steal - again one I live by everyday.
9. Don't bear false witness - this blog is quite rambling so you probably would not be surprised to hear I've not got a clue what this one is talking about. Probably lying or summat.
10. No coveting your neighbour's ass - even if she is hot. But seriously, I'm happy with what I have in life why do I need more (except that car I bought recently).
So in conclusion, I chose my own morals and I'm not really sure why I've done this blog, perhaps it is just a form of self-flagellation.
So whether your belief in a god keep you sane, or evil spirits are your best friends, why not skip church/temple/depraved blood soaked orgy just once and see what Atheism is all about...
... and on a count of 3 Fumbblers start mauling me...
1... 2...
Edit: Just remembered at least one person I know and like on Fumbbl who is a Christian, so my apologies if I've offended that person. You probably know who you are. :)

I worship Banjo.
Have you thought about the possible benefits that a hand puppet god can bring?

I don't believe in Athiests

hehehe...You silly Royston. There is no such thing as Atheism. Everybody believes in something, even you believe your players will complete pass and score :D
Btw. Organized religions purpose is to control and gain power.
I am rased like Catholic, but I can't say i respect that view much, cause it's full of hipocrisy and illogical stuffs.
Like Rule 6. Is my favorite one, especcialy when I think off crusades, inquistions, witch hunts, and all others genocides made in the name of religions (not only christianity, but others as well). Or ignore that. Someone attacks me and is gonna kill me. Should I tell him "calm down my son, violence isn't the asnw...crarghhhhkll"
I don't think so..

Bah atheism is for lightweights!
A true non believer could never believe in the non existence of God.
Question everything.
Nuffle roolz.

Clearly your atheist views are flawed.
Nobody can deny Nuffle is the one true God and we all must bend to his will!
/me goes to sacrifice more goats to nuffle

I'm an agnostic and I know where you live. Just to let you know that I'll burn a big question mark in your lawn if you dont stop being so sure ;)

Posted by alonut on 2009-06-19 11:48:15
Yeah, People + religion = genocide!!
biggest excuse for mass murder this world has ever had, from the crusades of the past to the suicide bombers of today (excluding Dribblesnot of course, he's just screwed!!)
I believe in Science. And Nuffle!!

Wait...so you're saying that because you believe there's no hell, it doesn't exist? Sound like, to me, that you're saying that if you believe that pigs can fly, then pigs can fly.

well religion isnt flawless because human changes the rules and beliefs by themselves :)
hmm what was the one religion that ppl cant drink alcohol.. unless its dark since god cant see in the dark !! :D
but still i really dont think atheism is the right way, its kinda like being a teenager who wont listen to reason... there is good stuff in almost any religion and ppl should respect those things, not something like what some crusaders did, its wasnt gods fault it was the fault of those peoples minds that they thought they are gods themselves
i could go sacrifice some goats for nuffle but my legend smack final opponents hasnt played their last game :<

If God bother give his WORD to Man; don't you think he'd bother to make sure it got written down right?
It's not flawless because it's made up (for multiple motives McVily).
