Reminds me of the chow hall in basic training! We had one guy that took forever to pray AND he wanted the whole table to hold hands! Only took one blanket party to fix that.

They don't need Atheism, they just need an absence of strong religious beliefs, so there is a hole to fill.

Keith Is correct on this I believe.
There state,- the Kim dynasty for example is there god, little g man. Pun intended.
Do as I say or the penalty is death.

Atheism is the lack of belief. Despite the weasel words, you keep reiterating that they need atheism.

You unfortunately lack the ability to understand. I'll stop wasting my time on you.

Keith

A lack of belief does not equal a belief that there is/are no god(s).

Weak atheism is defined as "the absence of belief in gods without asserting their nonexistence". Strong atheism, on the other hand, is the absolute belief that no gods exist. Then there are agnostics, who believe that it is impossible to know whether or not gods exist.

Correct.

Keith

A theist is one who has a belief in god(s).

An atheist is one who lacks belief in god(s). a- is a prefix that means not or without.



Correct.

Adios! Don't like to be challenged, I guess.

I love a good debate. There is a massive amount of evidence for that on this site. You can't unfortunately give me a good debate, because you can't grasp what I am saying. It's sad!y clear that it's just a waste of time for me to continue to attempt to help you understand.

Keith

Okay. I'll leave you with your obviously superior intellect.

Mark 9:44-48. Wonder what was being described?

Savell doesn't like my music either, so we do have that common ground.

Whatever pretend debates occur based on word play rather than functional prose it is a fact of history that both of the co-founders of communism were staunch atheist and believed it to be a necessary part of the framework for communism to succeed. While succeeding generations have sought to make communism more tastefully acceptable to their peoples, at its core it is not empty-space but atheistic.

What is your take on : "Everyone will be salted with fire. "?

I guess that's why christianity is flourishing in countries like North Korea where being a Christian is punishable by death but people are still converting..... christianity has always flourished under persecution, and it gets persecuted because real Christians are more concerned with following Gods laws than whoever the current "power" is.

Only an incredibly minuscule 0.38% of North Koreans are Christian. That is most certainly not a flourishing population.

I figure it both describes the Bema Seat and the White Throne Judgment.

"The Party cannot be neutral towards religion and does conduct anti-religious propaganda against all and every religious prejudice because it stands for science, while religious prejudices run counter to science, because all religion is something opposite to science. Cases such as recently occurred in America in which Darwinists were prosecuted in court, cannot occur here because the Party carries out a policy of the general defense of science. The Party cannot be neutral towards religious prejudices and it will continue to carry on propaganda against these prejudices because this is one of the best means of undermining the influence of the reactionary clergy who support the exploiting classes and who preach submission to these classes. The Party cannot be neutral towards the bearers of religious prejudices, towards the reactionary clergy who poison the minds of the toiling masses. Have we suppressed the reactionary clergy? Yes, we have. The unfortunate thing is that it has not been completely liquidated"..Joseph Stalin
