Just was talking about undecided voters and said atheists have a religion.
I don't see the correlation but I'm sure her ignorance is bliss.

[JRLeft]

1. I do not have a religion. Unless she wants to say science is

my religion.

[Laochtine]

3. I can't understand it

She seems pretty intelligent about most things but, religion is her blind side like so many I guess.

[rexcat]

2. Sounds like some...

from the Religion Forum.

[Laochtine]

4. It seems

like a projection of misunderstanding.

[beam me up scottie]

5. Like the old chestnut "But everybody has to believe in something"

You'd think after several thousand years they'd come up with some new material.

[rexcat]

7. When your belief system...

is stuck in the bronze age your mind set is also there!

[beam me up scottie]

9. Bf's young niece said that to me last Christmas.

They program them young down here.

[Laochtine]

16. It's a coping

action. I believe therefore you must believe. I don't have to leave my bubble.

[WhollyHeretic]

6. I believe she has said garbage like this a number of times before

[trotsky]

8. You are correct.

She is another one of those liberals who doesn't care much for atheists.

[Laochtine]

14. It's a sad shame

She doesn't look into this more, maybe one day

[DagoRed]

10. yeah, right. And all humans are women, but some have penises.

I do believe RR is confusing 'religious dedication' with 'religion.' I also have a religious dedication to daily bowel movements, but I wouldn't call that a religion either (although I can understand confusing this activity with a church service. Both end products are pretty much identical).

[Laochtine]

20. The Pougues called them Wallyes

I think she's been taught to believe: we all must believe. Poor dear lol

[AlGoreRhythms]

11. oh...

science bless her

[Ligyron]

12. Where are you hearing RR now?

she was awesome entertainment when she was on the air for years down in S. FL. That is, back when there was such a thing as locally produced shows and personalities almost everywhere in the US.

[Laochtine]

15. Neil is God, lol

Rick and Suds, Phil before he went nuts. Best radio ever!

[Phillip McCleod]

13. she has said that kind of thing before

so has Thom Hartmann. just shows to go ya in the great venn diagram of life being smart talented and liberal doesnt necessarily intersect bravery.

[Laochtine]

17. Bravery or ignorance

I wonder if believers can even think of not believing? Maybe after they read their holy books and start questioning.

[Taverner]

18. "There is a god shaped hole in you..."

"....and ain't nothing going to make you happy until you fill it with GOD!!!"

Then it sounds like God is a shitty ass designer then...leaving holes all over the fucking place

[FiveGoodMen]

19. There is a hole-shaped god in you!

“This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”

― Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt

We invent a god that fills the voids that we already have, and provides answers to the questions we haven't answered for ourselves.

(And even then, many of the "answers" are of the STFU variety)

[Laochtine]

21. I filled my hole with

Brain. Brain, it does a body good.
