Check out all the links from this site trying to convince people of faith that their faith is not misplaced. These organizations across the entire USA are actually trying to prove mythology scientifically. If you didn't think they were wacko before, now you have no choice.

Who knew?

When they attempt to prove their faith through science, they're admitting they've lost.

I read the first few pages of "A Defense of Creationism" by the pages author.

He's trying to make the case that the great flood happened, but fails to take into account the fact that if it had we would see fossils from each type of creature scattered over much larger distances. The great flood theory can't explain why animals that currently live on one continent don't show up anywhere else. Guess he missed that one.

From what I read, this guy shows all the signs of having a serious misunderstanding about evolutionary theory. Nothing new to see here.

Like I've always said -- show me someone who doesn't think evolution works and I'll show you someone who doesn't understand it.

...and not a single Atheist advertisement on their site anywhere. Hmmmmm.

Owe, my brain hurts now... so many contradictions in the FAQ page.

Um, we can sue them for false advertising, right!?

Or you could place an advertisment for time-shares right next to the ones with the religious offers. Or you could put a disclaimer that points to them that says something along the lines of:

"American Atheists is not responsible for anything that is being advertised here so go to these sites at your own risk".

I would also like to see religious books have a disclaimer on them that says:

"The advice that is offered in this book is not the opinion of the publisher and it does not make you exempt to the laws of reality or immune to the laws of the local government in which you reside or have citizenship status in."

Of course, I do like to see pictures related to atheism as I find it more encouraging.

Religion is just a form of mental slavery.

It is like a parasite that preys on human weaknesses and biases...

Why would an atheist want to give any of their money to wackos like that? If they want to support their idiotic ideas, I say let them support them with their own money.

I've always said that pray and prey are synonyms.

AT,
Of course you are correct. I was just making hay over the fact that so many christian sites advertise here. I promise it was not a suggestion. :-)>

Great news on the battlefront.

Survey: Americans switching faiths, dropping out

(AP) -- The U.S. religious marketplace is extremely volatile, with nearly half of American adults leaving the faith tradition of their upbringing to either switch allegiances or abandon religious affiliation altogether, a new survey finds.

They're paying atheists money, enabling us to enforce the First Amendment wall of separation. What's not to love? You won't catch me accusing these wackos of being intellectuals.

I think they are great too. Especially if we get paid by the click. I say, "get clicking!"

And to think not one of them can give an operational definition of "gawds" and "exist" that does not make the "Do gawds exist?" question completely meaningless.

ID is untestable and therefore more worthless than a hypothesis tested and found to be wrong. Theists marvel at human complexity and think only some gawd could have created us. But what's to marvel at? Most humans don't even understand the lack of value in an untestable hypothesis. Wow now that's something to marvel at!

99.9% of these idiots could not tell you what Newton's three laws are. And even fewer know what they actually mean. We're talking science that is more than two centuries old!

Why,except for extreme ignorance or madness would anybody cling so desperately to creationism? I tend to suspect that some of those creationist leaders don't really believe what they are teaching-- they just know that there is money to be made by fleecing the gullible.That's pretty much how I feel about fundamentalist leaders in general and creationist leaders in particular. Creationism and ID are false teachings and therefore immoral.

We should be doing similar and creating a church for the Flying Spaghetti Monster (the one and true).
Then we could also sell crosses and donate all the proceeds to educating the public.

I suspect that humanity's ego has something to do with it as well. Evolution says we're not much different from apes, but the Bible says we're much more important.

To the undereducated and the willfully ignorant, feeling important is high on the list.

Yes. I think that their perceived deficiencies and cognitive dissonance drive their tendencies to devalue the knowledge of others and science in general. Theism relieves their cognitive dissonance by making the differences between humans appear insignificant compared to the differences between humans and the fantastical sky daddy.

Religion (specifically Abrahamic religions) is the perfect match for those with an overblown ego — it reinforces their delusion of self-importance. I suppose ego is why man invented a “personal god” anyway.

www.creationism.org

They should call it LiarsForJesus.org or magic.org

One of my hobbies is visiting pro-Christian anti-science blogs and telling those asshats what I think about their constant lying and their breathtaking stupidity. I have nothing but contempt for people who are afraid of science and who constantly lie about science. These subhumans are not satisfied with lying to their own children. They want to force science teachers to do their lying for them. I tell the creationist morons they are being watched and they will never be allowed to get away with anything.

The hick infested state of Texas looks hopeless, but at least in Florida where I live the creationists lost and they lost badly. We now have the one of the best public school science standards in the nation and our students will finally be learning about evolution which our new science standards call one of the big ideas of science. Slowly but surely science education will eventually destroy the incredibly insane beliefs of Christianity.

Imagine America with no religions. There would be an explosion of human progress, and science teachers would be able to teach science without harassment and threats from Christian thugs.

and our public schools would stop being the battle grounds on which the crazed theist fights their cognitive dissonance daemons.

I agree. The higher-ups all know the fact that it is a scam, but want money (think of the concept of tithing where they basically say "give me 10% of your money or you are going to "hell")
