   Dear Religious people,

   Atheists have no doubt that the supernatural does not exist. Just live with this view for a while. Trust yourself and utilize the natural senses and abilities that we are born with to understand that we are lucky to be alive. You will find life opening up and really worth living. There will be no need to go running back to the control of religion.

   Dear Atheist people,

   Atheists cripple their understanding of the universe around them by denying the very possibility of supernatural explanations. Theists are able to consider both natural and supernatural explanations and are therefore less biased in their interpreting of data, whereas atheists MUST subscribe to purely natural explanations. Given that the big bang is by definition a supernatural event, the atheist interpretation is affected by self imposed blindness from the get go. Be an agnostic, be a skeptic, don’t be controlled by religion, but respect yourself enough to not blind yourself.

   Dear people,
   the atheist point of view subcribe matter and mind to causality. Everything that happens has a natural cause, determined by laws of physics. This would include also the mind and the free will, which of cource, in that sense, would not be free, other than through the pure experience. The greeks had two words for time: Kronos and Khairos. If you believe in the existence of a real free will, the Kharios are the essence of that, while the Kronos are the natural cause of every decision made in Kharios time. None of them would exist without the other. Khairos is the one that make any change possible. Kronos are its children. Kronos itself can not give rise to change, only causality. Scince deals with Kronos, while religion delas with Khairos, both equally important. Without the mind there would be no time. Imagine a DVD, a piece of plastic with carvings on it. the beginning and the end are there simultaneously, but the time come into existence the very moment you put it into the DVD-player and watch the movie. Mind preceeds matter, but matter is essential for the realisation of the mind.

   Dear Religious people,

   Atheists are willing to hear your beliefs and then prove why they are wrong with evidence, however religious people turn there backs to amazing theories like evolution that are backed with evidence. I think religion should accept some science is true and realize that the bible and other religious teachings are very old and has many story’s that have been proven wrong.

   Joakim, I’m so glad you used a DVD as an example as it also illustrates interdependent systems. Note that a DVD depends on a DVD player to have any use at all and does not play movies by itself. One is designed with the other in mind and aren’t simply adapted to one another after arising independently. The mind doesn’t arise spontaneously after a brain is stitched together by random processes guided by natural selection. Information and Intelligence imply forethought and inspiration.

   Harry, the difference between my previous claim and your response to it is that I have shown logically how atheists must necessarily be biased by choice and you have provided an anecdotal (while theoretical) example of how some theists aren’t being honest with data (ie, global flooders and young earthers). You haven’t stacked atheism against theism, but rather chosen a straw man from among theists to represent the whole set.

   The bible doesn’t actually teach a global flood or a young earth (while interestingly, doesn’t impugn those who either in faith or by lack of faith want to believe in these things either). These concepts actually have been recent applications while the bible itself still stands yet to be overturned.
