It appears that some theists are so stupid they don't understand what the word "atheist" means. At the very least, this anomaly strongly suggests that the results of this survey should not be taken too seriously.
Agreed! Atheist defines the lack of belief. Why start a thread on this? Too prove that, as FD said, some theists are (my emphasis) SOOOOOOO stupid they don't understand what the word atheist means?
i have tried to be an atheist- honestly, i have really tried.
i have most of dawkins books and many others.
i completely agree there has to be some evolution and obviously the fossil record in the grand canyon plus erosion shows it must be at least 600 million years old.
Proof of science itself exists, though.People put too much faith in science.
People put too much faith in god.
Science--knowledge exists. Picking and choosing what we wish to remain ignorant on does not equal knowledge, just ignorance. So when it comes down to it, to have faith means one must remain ignorant. Choosing to question equates to arrogance in a lot of folks' opinions when that is not the case. Living without faith means not accepting things blindly and questioning them instead, rather than being fearful of nothing.
Stilla---I tried really, really hard to not be athiest. I lost and rationality won.

Thinking of you.
so, i am so happy that so many of you have helped me, and some seem by your comments like i might know you in person, or at least have met you.

just a question i thought i'd put out there.
interested in your comments.
