You know? You rock!!!! I'm an atheist but a moral one...

Hey,

I would like to congratulate you on a great blog. I was amazed at some of the responses you've had.

I'd like to say thanks for creating this site. I'm sure pastafarians all over the world would love to be apart of it.

Keep it real, Sojio

Hmmm... "IAmAPastafarian.com"... Not a bad idea!

Hi!

Nice site you got there... It is good to raise questions about life's big questions :) and humor is an excellent way to deal with them.

I read some of your blog posts, and I have to say that you really are courage and strong for going on after all those threats, and not even take it personally... :) Just keep it up.

ps. sorry if I made too many spelling and grammatic errors, but english isn't my native language.

I have been reading through the comments posted on this site, and I must say, I was rather amused. I agree whole-heartedly with what I have read from you (note that I have not read everything, leaving room for error) and the only thing I see wrong with this site, is the people taking offence. Especially that mother who punished her child, which is sad... knowledge doesn't equate to Godlessness, it just means she accepts there may be alternatives. That 15 year old girl should be commended, not punished.

I wish you all the best, and hope more can learn to laugh about themselves, and more importantly, their beliefs.

I agree that we'd all be better if more people took themselves less seriously.

On a more serious note, I did receive a couple of e-mails (that I am unable to quote here because I've been asked not to) telling me that I shouldn't "stick my nose" into another parent's business. Well, I like my nose where it is, thank you very much <G>

poop on all those people with no sense of humor. I am mormon. I am what I am ,you are what you are(and funny too.)

Thanks! There are, I'm sure, many religious people out there who keep a sense of humor on this subject. I wish more of them would write to me!

I was already an atheist when I came across your website using the "Stumble button", but I felt I should drop you a note to encourage you to keep up the good work. I've read some of the hate mail you've received and your responses are well-written and thought out. You make atheism look good!

Sadly, atheism can use the help. For every person making atheism look good, there seem to be a dozen making it look bad.

I've been struggling with what religion actually is for a while, and stumbling upon this site of yours actually kicked this brain of mine into gear: Deep down, I'm an atheist. I don't know why I didn't see it before, but I'm glad I have. Truth be told, I feel like a tremendous weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Or maybe that feeling is because I just sat up after three hours of lying on the floor.

Either way, I thank you. Looking forward to reading more of your blog.

=) Wooo atheists! (is one proudly). This is an amazing and hilarious site, and I love all the evil comments you've recieved because people aren't willing to accept that maybe you don't have to have a religion. Major kudos.

I am constantly surprised that some people seem to be personally offended by my lack of religion, as if it's an insult to them. But then aren't they an insult to everyone they don't share a religion with? Apparently not.

I can see the brilliance or craftiness rather in your site and respect it... people who stumble upon your website and are actually concerned by it obviously are struggling with their faith anyway, to exploit that, poking someone randomly on their deepest level is an awesome way to to stir controversy/entertainment. ahh the beauty of the internet and completely irrelevant and random contact with people and thoughts around the world. All hail connectivity, keep up the good wor... um fun....

P.S. I am no longer a Christian because of this site and am promptly divorcing my wife of 6 years so i can go live with my mexican gardener Mario(hottay) in L.A.

Thanks for the encouragement! Regarding your "P.S" -- I'm sorry to hear that you were forced into a less-than-desirable marriage by religion. I hope you and Mario will be very happy.

Hello, from the Atheists club on DeviantArt. Keep up the good work.

And hello back to you! For my curiosity, could you tell me what kinds of things your atheist club does so I can share it with my blog readers?

lol i loved ur little time waster site!! im already an atheist but i wasnt i guess i am now!

Thank you so much for helping me lift the burden off my shoulders!

this site is halarious! i love the arguments page because i agree with almost every comeback

Nice website, very funny (but true) stuff. My friend has been getting everyone to think about atheism and how there's nothing wrong with not believing in god and forcing us to listen to Sam Harris...

You have an awesome website... You're doing god's work! ;)

Apparently, God's got a self-destructive streak! <G>

Seriously, though, I don't think there's inherently anything wrong with either believing in or not believing in a deity. It's all about how you go about it. And if God exists, then I would hope He would encourage us to use the minds He gave us, even if we ended up coming to incorrect conclusions on occasion.

The arguments page had me rolling on the floor in fits of laughter. Ok, not literally, but it Was pretty funny.

Regardless of what side of the fence a person's beliefs are, they would be a fool to not at least acknowledge some of the questions that athiests pose to christians. If there ever was a god it's word has been raped and altered by man so many times that what christians follow today is most likely blasphemy anyway.

I think that once humanity takes resposibility for it's own actions and ceases to answer to the 'boogieman' watching overhead for their every choice and consequence we will be better off as a species.

Furthermore, I don't have a problem with religion, though closed minded, stubborn, condescending people piss me off. Unfortunately christianity has too many self-righteous morons shouting their beliefs in the face of those of us that don't give a shit.

Bill Hicks says a lot of good things about religion, check him out if you've never heard of him. Anyways, thanks for the laughs. This site rules.

Closed-minded, stubborn, condescending people are problematic, no matter what philosophical viewpoint they are coming from. I'm actually bothered by annoying atheists more than I am by annoying religious folks, because when religious people act foolish it doesn't reflect on me.

Regarding God's word being mauled by humanity, I think you are probably correct. I think religious people should look carefully at their beliefs to try and separate the wheat from the chaff (as Thomas Jefferson did).

This reminds me, I recently was listening to a Christian podcast in which the speaker said (in a nutshell), "a third of the people in the world are Christians, and it's just not possible that a lie could make a third of all people wrong." The problem is, if these numbers are correct, and if Christianity is correct, then two-thirds of the people in the world are wrong. So if he's going by sheer numbers, Christianity has a problem. (Fortunately for him the argument is completely spurious).

wow. some of the hate mail that you're getting is pretty dang vile. and what i think is funny is that they so believe in god, and belive in his rules. i have never read the bible in my life, but doesn't it say something along the lines of "BE NICE!" come on guys! i'm and atheist (YEAH!) and i would never say anything close to the disgusting comments ya'll have made about another religion. don't they teach us in like, preschool to treat others the way you want to be treated!?

HUZZA TO ATHEISTS!!!! :D

Well, depending on what part of the Bible you are reading, advice on how to treat disbelievers varies. In the Old Testament, God seems to recommend killing (or at least not having much to do with) those who might corrupt true faith, while the New Testament has more of a focus on attempts at conversion. In any case, I think we can agree that Jesus wouldn't have written much of the blather I have received here.

Man, you rawk.

I really find this site interesting. I enjoy reading your arguments and the arguments of both pro- and anti- atheists. But do you know what makes people on either side sound more intelligent? Proper spelling.

You are corekt!

Fabulous! Free b**w j*bs for you when you're in my area, [town name deleted]!!!! (If you're a girl I'll buy you a chocolate and we can go clothes shopping, kay?)

I think this site is so ignorant and crude!

Just Kidding, I personally love it! It is very humorous!
