I thought this was net.religion?? My dictionary says: Atheist, refers to persons not inclined toward religious beliefs or particular form of religious belief...

Personally, I wonder who the Atheist will call for on his death bed? When death is inevitable((sp?) will he call for a Rabbi,Preacher,Priest? Even the devil believes in God!!!!! [from my companion Pam] Egad! Yet another Christian smugly envisioning an atheist dying in agony and terror of what lies ahead. I hate to disappoint you. A relative of mine who was an atheist died quite peacefully and in his right mind. Why would an atheist call on anybody? A person who does not believe in God is hardly likely to believe in Hell. Is your only motivation for your beliefs the fear of what God will do with you if you're not constantly praising his name? At least Apollo, Pan, Diana, and Venus don't threaten me with hellfire if I don't worship them. [from Tim] Why not just put us all into ghettoes instead of stopping at a separate group? After all, we're non-Christian scum who don't deserve to air our filthy views in the presence of good Christians. In the mean time: If schools teach evolution, I vote for equal time for creationism!!!! All in favor say AMEN... [also from Tim] I was taught creationism in my public high school. The teacher said "There are people who don't believe in evolution. They believe that the universe or life were created by a highly potent supernatural being." She then went on with the business of biology. Beyond that, what can you say without preaching one faith or another? Do you want Genesis taught?

if sunday schools teach creationism, i vote for equal time for evolution!!!! all in favor say SO THERE... ps: 1 vote against net.atheist. atheism only exists by its contrast with religion (or as a kind of religion, in some cases). mARK bLOORE univ of toronto
