http://backyardskeptics.com/wordpress Where humanists, rational thinkers, atheists and agnostics have a place to explore the world without religious dogma Wed, 30 Mar 2016 16:26:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.4.3 http://backyardskeptics.com/qa/#comment-639 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 06:57:03 +0000 http://backyardskeptics.com/#comment-639 As atheists we accept that bad people will do bad things and not be punished. Since we do not believe in a heaven or hell, we (atheists) accept our own ‘sins’ (we call if simply ‘bad behavior’). We ‘own’ it. When people believe in an afterlife, they are more willing to do things in this life that affect others well-being negatively. To me it’s selfish behavior to do things to ‘get yourself’ into a mythical heaven that no one can prove exists.

No supernatural deity is needed.

One of our latest billboards (see the ‘dueling billboards’ page) list islamic superstitions as well.

Are you afraid to reference Mohammad, Allah and the Koran? Wonder why the discrepency on your part? Is it you know the Christians won’t kill you for dishing their God? You fear the gods of the muslims, don’t you?

Just because you believe one way or the other, does’nt make it so. According to your logic it doesn’t take a painter to have a painting; it doesn’t take a builder to have a building; it doesn’t take music to have a song, it doesn’t take a dreamer to have a dream nor does it take an eater to have a pile of shit. Your logic is just pushing reality a bit too far off the deep end.
