I gotta tell ya, your loving words remind me so much of Christ, it hurts. Continue with the pouring out of His love. It's immense and wonderful. You, ma'am, are truly a representative of the Most High! Love! Love! Love! That's the exact message I get from you. I hope there is a hell, because I'll see you there, dip shit. Kissy face!
Also, you run my stats up with every comment. I honestly don't want you to stop. I'm okay with my pride.

So this is the movie where Kevin Sorbo (aka Hercules) plays a university professor who is a stereotypical atheist who later has a deathbed conversion. Good job on pissing off some Christians pixeligion without the use of vulgar words or vulgar imagery.
Don't you find it odd that when an atheist makes a statement against God or religion that person is accussed of bashing others' beliefs-as if those beliefs deserved any respect-and others decry that one is shoving beliefs into others' throats, yet; it is entirely okay for Christians to bash atheism and make religious art? Hypocrisy, some religious folk should try not practicing it and should try practicing what they preach.

It goes both ways, actually. Perhaps you haven't seen it very much but, trust me, it does.

I am more than certain that there are atheists who go around forcing their beliefs or unbeliefs on others. However, it is bothersome that Christians click on this piece not to critique it but, rather complain that the artist is forcing his beliefs on them and threaten him with eternal damnation. This is DA and people upload loads of stuff including religious art. Like I said before, it is unwise to click on something you dislike just to bash the artist because you feel the art piece is offensive.

Agreed. I don't see why people don't just ignore something they don't like. People are people, and chances are, people don't always believe in the same thing. Trashing someone's art just because it doesn't agree with someone's views is like, punching someone in the face just because they said something they didn't like. And then they get offended because the person they punched decides to punch them back. Then a bunch of random people hop aboard the bitch express and suddenly it's one of those saloon fights in those John Wayne movies: i.e. everyone is punching everyone just because someone decided they wanted to bitch.
Hypocrisy. Hypocrisy everywhere.

Hypocrisy and a persecution complex compel some Christians to feel like they are being persecuted. Although it is a fact that some atheists call believers "idiots" or "stupid," it is not a fact that Christians are being persecuted in the US. Even though things get overly nasty in the comments section nobody forces anybody to respond. I'll confess that some art may provoke for the sake of provoking but that does not mean one should enter bitchfest mode and rant.
After all people are free to believe or not believe.

Hmmmm the original sign reads "GOD'S DEAD HE JUST NEVER EXISTED" which is a contradiction of terminology. The "NOT" was applied later. So this is actually about a Grammar Nazi fixing bad grammar. Proof of this point is noticed in the fact he even painted an"S" on himself, thus showing his true conviction to his belief. But failed to notice he was also covering up the "T" in "JUST"; which angers me greatly! "SLACKER!!"

If anyone doesn't like this, they don't have to comment on it. All these negative comments are just perpetuating more hate. Someone who is even slightly enlightened would ignore it and keep browsing if they disagreed with the artist perspective. I, on the other hand, like this, even though I may disagree with it's message. It's creative, opinionated, different and well executed. Great work. I'm sorry you are getting such negative feed back

Are you kidding me??? I L-O-V-E these people! They demonstrate over and over the love of Jesus like no other. When I was in seminary studying to be a pastor I would never have had the courage these people do to come on to someone else's art and tell them they are wrong or evil or satanic or whatever. I commend them for their effort. I only wish they wouldn't be such pussies by blocking me from replying to the comments they made or blocking me from commenting on their profiles. In that sense, they aren't courageous at all. Hmm. Never mind. They are a bunch of little fucking pussies who can't make their deviations so they spew their bullshit hate on others. Fuck 'em.
But I DO love the attention!!!

I respect your stance here, but feel it is in contradiction. You seem to insist that others should ignore this, yet it attacks many people's core beliefs with year another core belief. So I'd truly expect noting less than a 'counterattack', as others seek to give as good as they got. And I'd not apologize for it either. (Especially in defence of the author.) Because in that thinking you would also own an apology to all these people the author has offended with equal criticism.

I do notice now how easy it is to swing from fundamentalist believer to a fundamentalist non-believer. This piece was done a while back, but these days I try to stay as close to the center of the pendulum as possible. Try...but I'm still human.

Are'nt we all.
But I merit your disappointment with religion, Though I am so called "religious" I dont really act like it, because I too mostly dislike the people of my religion. They seem to want to get to know me, then later only want to control me. That's where I realized it want God I hated, its was those claiming to be leaders in his name. The truth is most of the people we see as leaders are more often than not, Narcissistic, or even Sociopaths. And those sort of people are flat our miserable to deal with. They have no empathy and seek only power and self glorification at anyone's expense, and the religious community offers them that in spades. So yes i certainly warrent your disappointment and need to lash out.
Just remember, that there are some among us that feel as you feel, except we just cant blame God for it. Near as I can tell God is utterly blameless. He created us to test free will, and placed us in a world suited to that test. Somewhere between heaven and hell, but the extremes of neither. Utterly "fair" for both sides. Then he took his hands off the wheel and lets us run a muck for better or worse. Reasonably helping those that actually devoted to him, rather than those that will instantly hate him if he doesn't help. He set his laws to show us they way to happiness, most of which are designed around self-less behavior, or community. Though some seem heartless when taken at first glance. But back then nobody could afford to guard and feed an imprisoned man, let alone many, so most judgments lead to death for practical reasons. Or some other harsh and somewhat unfair punishment. But thats how things had to be in a primitive harsh world. Even slaver was embraced by God because that is just how are world seemed to work at the time, Just as it is with money today, god says its the root of all evil, yet does not forbid his people to use it. He understands. In fact most of the Bible is written for primitive people which is why is seems so childish in many of its parables, or uses significantly simplified statements. Such as this so called "God of love" sending reasonably good people to burn in hell, what's up with that? Well the truth is hell is not a place of fire at all. God only compares it to fire, and it really may be a reasonable comparison. All hell actually is, is a place totally void of God. So when people choose not to follow God, he simply honors their wish and sends them to a place where he is not. So whats so bad about that? Well God IS LOVE, he IS HOPE, also joy, peace etc. Therefore he is the source of all those things.And when you cut the source you cut the flow, so in hell there is no love because their is no God. Here on earth we are exposed to the source, so we have no idea what it would be like to be in a place without that. So God makes it clear to us using alternate simple terms we do understand, "its like burning."
So if you left God for dislike of him, perhaps you should re-consider. Though if you left him because science makes him look like a fairytale, then that too has totally logical explanations once translated out of primitive parables into scientific terms. In fact The Creation account of Genesis (IE the Orthidox Christian bible, not Catholic, not Mormon, not Islam, rather the original Christian account) if it's read and compared in its order of events, it parallels the scientific explanation of the birth of stars and planets, equal to the modern scientific explanation of the birth of the cosmos. For example a "day" as it is described in the bible is actually translated to mean "a period of time" which can be taken as Eons of time. Thus the earth was not created in a week, rather in the billions of years that science proves. And you'll notice in the bible how light was created and cast upon the earth on the first day, yet the sun was not created until the fourth day. This seems wrong unless you understand that stars are born form luminescent gas clouds of which are already burning while the star draws them in and takes its shape, then it makes sense. The bible even leave the stars as the last light created in the sky, while actually meaning it was the last light to "arrive" in the sky. With the speed of light requiring time for the stars light to reach us. In fact modern evolution doubtlessly gives us more truth of the creation account than the Bible does. To the point Christianity is now leaning toward it. And dont forget that this book was indeed written by ancient people that had no idea of the birth of the cosmos. Also, consider that it was written in a time when everyone else was happy to describe a bolt of lightning as the spear of a god. While the christian religion made no such attempts, with exception of a few lines of creation and one more of which was "the earth is a sphere, and hung upon nothing" this was the passage Columbus used to get his ships and cross the ocean. The ancients could not have known any of this. Yet were inspired to write it exactly and sworn never to change it. (hence why other christian based religions contradict so badly, they appointed prophets chosen by men to change the bible. Neglecting the fact the GOD IS PERFECT, so he would have gotten it right the first time. which is why I only study Orthodox Christianity, And I'm loyal to it as long as I never find a true contradiction. I'm fully prepared to walk away from it, yet here I am, 30 years later and still managing to explain every single on I find, using pure acceptable logic, not blind faith, not ignorance. Even when I feel pissed off at God as I do now, I still wont call him a liar. I accept that my suffering is of my own making, and it is, but I can still be mad about it, I'm only human, (as you say)
PS: Sorry for the Text wall, I just thought you'd like a peak outside the dogmatically insane version of your former religion, and realize there is more to it that the controlling desires of Narcissists and Sociopaths. And if you'd like to look further into it (if only to challenge it as an atheist) then check out the theory of Intelligent Design, and Christian Apollogetics.

Yep, and I don't force me beliefs or points of view on people like atheists do. At the mere mention of the word God -if even as a joke-you can instantly tell if someone's an atheists, they tense up and wait for you to say it one more time before asserting their beliefs. It's like clock work. I've not met a religion that does this unless directly instructed, like Mormons or JW's. But otherwise their minisrty switch is turned off. Atheists are always switched on. You're living proof of this fact.

You know being an atheist means you don't believe in any kind of deity, not just not believing in god. So you assume this person doesn't believe in a some kind of god or goddess. Maybe this person does believe in a deity, just not god.

The term God is polytheistic. It applies to what ever god you're speaking of. It's effectively like a species classification.
And all atheists are forced to believe in some kind of creator. Science tries to prove god doesn't exist. But then implies the knowledge required for a life form to understand how to evolve, came from nowhere. Knowledge must be eared or learned. It doesn't just happen. Which is why we don't know how to create life from nothing. We have not earned that knowledge yet. So where did that knowledge come from? Something has to understand it, and speak it to life forms, otherwise how would a mindless eyeless creature know light exists, let alone understand how to evolve an eye to see it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then if an atheist is forced to believe in some kind of creator and being an atheist means you do not believe in anything then technically there are no atheists?
But otherwise you are correct. I personally don't believe in God, as I believe in the Great Goddess whose worship of her was actively since at the very least 25000 BCE (possibly 250000 BCE) and all the way up to 300 CE.
But the term God can stand for any being of any religion including the Masons as the supreme architect. So the message can refer to the Christian God, Yahweh or to "God" in general as to any supreme being of any religion. So I guess in a sense, because it was not specified, it is up to us as the viewers to interpret the meaning based off our own beliefs. But I don't think this guy is shoving his beliefs down anyone's throat no more than a Christian damning someone for something outside their faith or a Muslim damning someone for not following their beliefs especially because one lives in the "West".

Technically there is no logical argument to support being an athiest. But it doesn't stop them from tring to be one.
Yes this declares that your god, mine and all others don't exist. But as I've pointed out, knowledge can't come from just nowhere so a god has to exists.
I didn't say that all people of various faiths respect each other, but it's pretty common for them to. Atheists however I find too often to be very pushy, condescending and opinionated, just as this author has proven to be. That is all I was calling him out on. And he quickly proved my point as if hasty to do so.

Logical fallacies up the ass. Knowledge can't come from just nowhere? Prove it. So a god has to exist. Prove it. All these baseless assumptions causes major harm in the field of knowledge.
Trying to be an atheist because there's no logical argument? Many things support atheism, it's really simple, but yes there is no logical assessment that a god doesn't exist, it's simply due to the lack of evidence in the favor for one. The burden of proof? The theists making the claim.
Atheists sort of have a reason to be pushy, condescending and "opinionated" whatever that means. Hard to be opinionated when atheism is just a lack of belief, unless you're concerning the fact that many atheists will use concepts we can examine and scientifically deduce, if so yeah I guess they're "opinionated". Religion has controlled the world and stemmed much advancement, so yeah if there's hostility it's sort of earned especially personally when you have religious house-holds treating their atheist kids like shit. Not mine though

If you have proof that "high order knowledge" AKA: creating and manipulating life into functional beings, that this can come from utterly nothing. Then please present this proof and I'll back off. Otherwise its just a blind faith argument.
However, it is a scientific fact that knowledge is earned or passed on from a baser experience this includes instinct, passed from the parent organism, things it learned and transmitted to it young during its development. Base experience is scientifically proven to be acquired and collected in a living mind or memory cell. No other known means exists to quire, retain and pass on knowledge. Anything beyond that is speculation.
But the fact remains it had to come from somewhere in order for evolution to work at all. A blind mindless creature is not even going to know light exists, much less form the knowledge required to discover light absent an eye. nevermind the knowledge on how to form that functional eye. So something had to tell it. So who exactly earned this knowledge. It cannot be a being of flesh and blood or it would have had to have someone tell its own cells how to form an eye, because cells have no known mind to just figure that out, and have no life experience with eyes to know how to build one. Therefore it has to be a non flesh entity or something without a flesh base. So lets put these facts together to find a conclusion:
An all seeing, all knowing entity, that speaks to all living cells equally, tells it how to evolve an organism, gives it the knowledge to do so, and the capability. Yet this entity cannot be seen with our eyes, cannot be heard with our ears, does not appear to invoke conscious knowledge to our minds, or can be proven to exsist by modern science. But it absolutly must exists in order for mindless life to know how to evolve. So it must be taken entirely on faith.... Sounds like a god to me.

LOL no problem, I knew you'd have no answer anyway, they never do. They always just say they know better then fall into silence. "LOL I"m not even going to respond to this! It's well beneath me to argue my point of view when I'm unable to." Or they deflect the topic onto something else. But never has anyone actually answered this question with anything coming close to logic. (This is where you laugh and call "fail" to my logic. To distract the topic away from your failure to address it.)
Face it. You are a blind faith believer, you believe in actual magic, that high order knowledge can just magically appear out of nowhere riding a unicorn.

Honestly son I've argued this point a lot and it's to the point that even many theists don't even use it. It's just the God of the Gaps argument. If you don't see an issue with that then sure continue believing it brotha, it won't get you anywhere though
