It ultimately comes down to the insanely supreme arrogance of religious thinking: that a carbon-based bag of mostly water on a speck of iron-silicate dust around a boring dwarf star in a minor galaxy in an under populated local group of galaxies in an unfashionable suburb of a super cluster would look up at the sky and declare “It was all made so that I could exist!â€
Perhaps atheists will spend a lot less time talking about god when we have our own meeting places on every other corner, when our organizations are tax-exempt, when our slogans are printed on your money, when we elect a president (or any other leader) who understands science, when those idiotic little fish disappear, when organ donor cards no longer have a blank space for religion, when holidays commemorate great ideas instead of mythological beings, when newspapers devote a weekly section to atheism, when people stop saying "God bless you" every time we sneeze, when people stop saying "It’s a Miracle" every time someone survives something life threatening, when people stop saying "Thank GOD" every time something makes them happy, when people stop saying "GOD Damn It" every time something makes them mad, when we open a motel room drawer and find a copy of Carl Sagan’s "COSMOS", or Richard Dawkins "The GOD Delusion" when Jehovah Witnesses stop coming to our houses on Saturday mornings to "save" us, when Homicidal Religious Fundamentalist stop flying airplanes into buildings murdering thousands in the name of a False God, when....
Lets get real. I don’t mean to belittle anyone but I find it astonishing that in this day and age of knowledge and research of the ancient Egyptian/Greek mythologies anyone could still believe the Jesus Myth. There are several mythical beings that share the same story lines that are described in the Jesus stories. One is enough to make any real thinker ask the obvious question, is this story real?
Just based on rational probabilities it is far more probable that MAN/Roman Emperor Constantine simply adopted these myths to embellish the Jewish religion with a Savior/Messiah story to persuade the unsophisticated peasants to fight on behalf of his roman empire against the Barbarians. It was a clever ploy that worked well. The Romans were badly out numbered and needed to bolster their armies, thus the Jesus story was the fix they needed. It is PAINFULLY OBVIOUS what the truth is, if you want to accept it. The whole Biblical/Jesus stories are so heavily lased with absolute impossibilities. It is shameful that anyone claims to believe their validity. I’m Sorry, I would rather not offend anyone But MY GOD! Open your eyes. Use the brain you were born with. THINK. Is it more likely that these ridiculous stories are real, or is it more likely the whole picture is a Farce. I know a Farce when I see one. Just the fact that out of over fifty historians of the time, NOT ONE has recorded the story of Jesus. Don’t bother telling me about Josephus , There is a great deal of doubt with his historical records being true. More likely he was planted by the Church to give credibility to the farce they were perpetrating on everyone.
The insanely ludicrous claim that Satan knew ahead of time to Plant the stories of Myth to discredit the Jesus doubters is Embarrassing to mankind. If you believe that one, check yourself into the LOONY Farm
Jesus is/was most certainly a MYTH. All based on Egyptian astrological myths. Nobody really needs to believe such silly nonsense to be a good person and live a good life. How many people have been tortured and murdered in the name of the Myth Jesus. It is SAD, Real Sad.
Peace to All.
Keep it REAL.

Some thoughts from a Brilliant Human Being
Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot
I always thought that IF Jesus was a REAL person, he was certainly quite Mentally Disturbed and a Delusional Lunatic for thinking he was the son of an Imaginary God.
I have seen the video Zeitgeist. ( and several others like it)
Now I'm certain there never was a REAL Jesus, just a lot of very old Myth's compiled into one Great Phony story..
There Really was a Great Man named Charles Darwin.
I Think I’ll worship him.
Peace to All.

"Darwin & Dawkins"
Two of the most important people to ever live
"Therefore, my success as a man of science, whatever this may have amounted to, has been determined, as far as I can judge, by complex and diversified mental qualities and conditions. Of these the most important have been—the love of science—unbounded patience in long reflecting over any subject—industry in observing and collecting facts—and a fair share of invention as well as of common-sense. With such moderate abilities as I possess, it is truly surprising that thus I should have influenced to a considerable extent the beliefs of scientific men on some important points".

All Atheists, Scientists and Freethinkers
We all know who the great thinkers were in history.
That's why we are Atheist, we understand all the knowledge they have discovered and shared, and we believe them.
I would like to meet all the people in my friends list.
Hello and Good Day to all the Intelligent Rational Thinking people who visit this site.
My Thanks for all your efforts to help in the WAR against Religious Insanity.
It takes Intelligence and Honesty to do what you do.
I have been an outspoken Atheist for 35 years.
After a Italian/Irish Catholic upbringing complete with Nuns as teachers, then two years as a "Born Again Christian"
I have heard every ridiculous and silly excuse for continuing to believe in religions.
This Fact is certain, Man will NEVER know with Absolute Certainty where everything came from. We were not there when it everything came into existence.
At best, all we will ever have is intelligent theories and speculations,
based on research and rational, logical testing of these theories.
I will certainly put more Faith in these theories, and believe them, before I would ever believe any religious/creator based fantasies conceived by Man,to serve mans agenda.
If a "Creator" created everything, who or what created the creator?
The Truth is simple to see and understand, Man Created GOD. (thousands)
The cosmos is far too vast for us to ever examine all of it.
Nothing or Nobody will ever come along and say,, "I made it all",, and then "Prove it".
Those type of claims will only come from the Imagination of man, made on behalf of what ever God they are promoting.
The Fact is,, we will never, ever know with absolute, provable evidence.
Just like we will never be able to prove there are no Gods.
It is possible to KNOW there are NO Gods.
That requires an Honest, Rational, Common Sense approach to thinking.
Everyone and everything that has ever existed is a part of the "Natural Evolutionary Process".
If not than you would never have existed at all.
Even Gods and religions owe their existence to
the evolution of the Human Mind/Imagination.
God’s are a collection of ancient Fables and Myths
passed on for thousands of years by tribal leaders.
Controlling the attitudes of the people being the motivation of all Religions.
There are Possibilities and Probabilities in this world.
Is it Possible there is a Creator? Yes.
Is it Probable? NO.
Is it Possible Man Created All GODS? Yes.
Is it Probable? YES.
Is it Possible Evolution is a Fact? Yes
Is it Probable Evolution is a Fact? YES
Is it Possible that every species of life has
a different eye design because of "Intelligent Design"? Yes
Is it Probable that the eye is a perfect example of "Natural Evolutionary Process" at work? YES
The issue of Religions is quite simple
There is NO gray area.
It is all Black or White.
It is "All True"
Or, "Not True At All".
Scientist use Intelligent Theory and Physical Evidence to make their point.
Religion uses Imagination and Scare Tactics to make theirs.
Who are you going to believe?
I think I know the answer to that question.
It is 2007, not the Dark Ages
The "Believers" have us "Outnumbered",
But "Atheist" have them "Outsmarted"
Someday (hopefully soon) The Truth, Intelligence, Real Knowledge and Rational Thinking will prevail over Imagination and the Delusions of Gods.
Keep Thinking, and express your thoughts often.

Why Jesus?
Jesus has been held in high regard by Christians and non-Christians alike. Regardless of whether he existed in history, or whether he was divine, many have asserted that the New Testament Christ character was the highest example of moral living. Many believe that his teachings, if truly understood and followed, would make this a better world.
Is this true? Does Jesus merit the widespread adoration he has received? Let's look at what he said and did.
Was Jesus Peaceable And Compassionate?
The birth of Jesus was heralded with "Peace on Earth," yet Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to send peace: I came not to send peace but a sword." (Matthew 10:34) "He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." (Luke 22:36) "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me." (Luke 19:27. In a parable, but spoken of favorably.)
The burning of unbelievers during the Inquisition was based on the words of Jesus: "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." (John 15:6)
Jesus looked at his critics "with anger" (Mark 3:5), and attacked merchants with a whip (John 2:15). He showed his respect for life by drowning innocent animals (Matthew 8:32). He refused to heal a sick child until he was pressured by the mother (Matthew 15:22-28).
The most revealing aspect of his character was his promotion of eternal torment. "The Son of man [Jesus himself] shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 13:41-42) "And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched." (Mark 9:43)
Is this nice? Is it exemplary to make your point with threats of violence? Is hell a kind, peaceful idea?
Did Jesus Promote "Family Values"?
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)
"I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." (Matthew 10:35-36)
When one of his disciples requested time off for his father's funeral, Jesus rebuked him: "Let the dead bury their dead." (Matthew 8:22)
Jesus never used the word "family." He never married or fathered children. To his own mother, he said, "Woman, what have I to do with thee?" (John 2:4)
What Were His Views On Equality And Social Justice?
Jesus encouraged the beating of slaves: "And that servant [slave], which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes." (Luke 12:47) He never denounced servitude, incorporating the master-slave relationship into many of his parables.
He did nothing to alleviate poverty. Rather than sell some expensive ointment to help the poor, Jesus wasted it on himself, saying, "Ye have the poor with you always." (Mark 14:3-7)
No women were chosen as disciples or invited to the Last Supper.
What Moral Advice Did Jesus Give?
"There be eunuchs which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." (Matthew 19:12) Some believers, including church father Origen, took this verse literally and castrated themselves. Even metaphorically, this advice is in poor taste.
If you do something wrong with your eye or hand, cut/pluck it off (Matthew 5:29-30, in a sexual context).
Marrying a divorced woman is adultery. (Matthew 5:32)
Don't plan for the future. (Matthew 6:34)
Don't save money. (Matthew 6:19-20)
Don't become wealthy. (Mark 10:21-25)
Sell everything and give it to the poor. (Luke 12:33)
Don't work to obtain food. (John 6:27)
Don't have sexual urges. (Matthew 5:28)
Make people want to persecute you. (Matthew 5:11)
Let everyone know you are better than the rest. (Matthew 5:13-16)
Take money from those who have no savings and give it to rich investors. (Luke 19:23-26)
If someone steals from you, don't try to get it back. (Luke 6:30)
If someone hits you, invite them to do it again. (Matthew 5:39)
If you lose a lawsuit, give more than the judgment.
(Matthew 5:40)
If someone forces you to walk a mile, walk two miles.
(Matthew 5:41)
If anyone asks you for anything, give it to them without question. (Matthew 5:42)
Is this wise? Is this what you would teach your children?
Was Jesus Reliable?
Jesus told his disciples that they would not die before his second coming: "There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom" (Matthew 16:28). "Behold, I come quickly." (Revelation 3:11) It's been 2,000 years, and believers are still waiting for his "quick" return.
He mistakenly claimed that the mustard seed is "the least of all seeds" (Matt. 13:32), and that salt could "lose its savour" (Matthew 5:13).
Jesus said that whoever calls somebody a "fool" shall be in danger of hell fire (Matthew 5:22), yet he called people "fools" himself (Matthew 23:17).
Regarding his own truthfulness, Jesus gave two conflicting opinions: "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true" (John 5:31), and "Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true" (John 8:14).
Was Jesus A Good Example?
He irrationally cursed a fig tree for being fruitless out of season (Matthew 21:18-19, and Mark 11:13-14). He broke the law by stealing corn on the Sabbath (Mark 2:23), and he encouraged his disciples to take a horse without asking permission (Matthew 21).
The "humble" Jesus said that he was "greater than the temple" (Matt 12:6), "greater than Jonah" (Matthew 12:41), and "greater than Solomon" (Matthew 12:42). He appeared to suffer from a dictator's "paranoia" when he said, "He that is not with me is against me" (Matthew 12:30).
Why Jesus?
Although other verses can be cited that portray Jesus in a different light, they do not erase the disturbing side of his character. The conflicting passages, however, prove that the New Testament is contradictory.
The "Golden Rule" had been said many times by earlier religious leaders. (Confucius: "Do not unto others that you would not have them do unto you.") "Turn the other cheek" encourages victims to invite further violence. "Love thy neighbor" applied only to fellow believers. (Neither the Jews nor Jesus showed much love to foreign religions). A few of the Beatitudes ("Blessed are the peacemakers") are acceptable, but they are all conditions of future reward, not based on respect for human life or values.
On the whole, Jesus said little that was worthwhile. He introduced nothing new to ethics (except hell). He instituted no social programs. Being "omniscient," he could have shared some useful science or medicine, but he appeared ignorant of such things (as if his character were merely the invention of writers stuck in the first century.
Many scholars are doubtful of the historical existence of Jesus. Albert Schweitzer said, "The historical Jesus will be to our time a stranger and an enigma." No first-century writer confirms the Jesus story. The New Testament is internally contradictory and contains historical errors. The story is filled with miracles and other outrageous claims. Consisting mostly of material borrowed from pagan religions, the Jesus story appears to be cut from the same fabric as all other myths and fables.
Why is Jesus so special? It would be more reasonable and productive to emulate real, flesh-and-blood human beings who have contributed to humanity--mothers who have given birth, scientists who have alleviated suffering, social reformers who have fought injustice--than to worship a character of such dubious qualities as Jesus.
