Because it was court ordered they sent him to jail, but now he is fighting against it, and probably will win quite easily as it does violate religious freedom.<br /><br />Why don't you read the article before spewing material that doesn't really support what you are claiming. Additionally what does this even have to do with the OP?Roma Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04761369020367510994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948264804203169113.post-54883493519319328472010-04-19T11:01:13.535-05:002010-04-19T11:01:13.535-05:00Atheists go to jail

The only addition was:<br /><br /><i>THE REAL QUESTION:<br /><br />DOES ATHEISM HAVE A FUTURE?<br /><br />AND THE ANSWER - NO!</i><br /><br />Sadly, this is just a continuation of his past unsupported statements. We have yet to see ANY attempt by David to make and support an actual point. So far all David Mabus has done is rant about atheists. It's not even a very interesting rant. David has made it very clear he dislikes atheists. The problem is he has yet to offer ANY reason for this dislike or any information on WHY he thinks atheism is a doomed philosophy. I'm left with the following possible explanations:<br /><br />1. David is just a troll. This seems unlikely given his devotion to posting his rants. At one point the moderators at the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe forum had to ban several Canadian IP addresses because David Mabus was apparently going from one coffee shop to another creating one sock puppet account after another only to get banned for his mindless copypasta.<br /><br />2. David Mabus is not reading my comments and is just posting stock replies. This strikes me as the most likely explanation.<br /><br />3. David Mabus lacks the mental capacity to understand my questions and to formulate a response.<br /><br />These are just speculation however.Matthew Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231470957925550626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948264804203169113.post-44939833770731796482010-04-06T08:15:03.024-05:002010-04-06T08:15:03.024-05:00Sadly, this is about what I expected from David. I...Sadly, this is about what I expected from David. I'd hoped for a more articulate, intelligent response but received only the same tired old nonsense. Note that David has reused a good deal of the original material that I've already addressed. He linked to the same forum thread and youtube video he used previously. He failed to provide ANY explanation of how these links support his central claim, or even offer information on WHAT his central claim might be. The closest he comes to anything new is the following rant:<br /><br /><i>Atheists<br /><br />GET OUT OF MY UNIVERSE…<br /><br />you little liars do nothing but antagonize…<br /><br />and you try to eliminate all the dreams and hopes of humanity…<br /><br />but you LOST…</i><br /><br />He doesn't give any examples of WHAT alleged lies atheists have supposedly told to rile him so much. More to the point he very arrogantly declares ownership of the entire universe with the sentence "GET OUT OF MY UNIVERSE". I hate to break it to David, but from the viewpoint of many religions the universe is not ours to begin with, but God's. Is he declaring himself to be God, or is he merely ranting, discarding any claim of ownership a deity may have to the universe he/she/it created?<br /><br />Finally he claims that atheists "try to eliminate all the dreams and hopes of humanity". I don't really know where he gets this claim and he couldn't be bothered to try and support it. I defy anyone to watch Carl Sagan's <i>Cosmos</i> and come away from that honestly believing that Sagan, an atheist, had anything BUT hope and dreams for humanity. If anything, atheists have more hope for humanity than most theists. Marginally Christian cults have been eagerly anticipating the imminent end of the world for 2,000 years. The "Rapture ready" crowd is just the latest incarnation of a long line of psychopaths eagerly anticipating the violent, painful death of the "other" and avoiding any long term thinking for humanity as a whole. The Christian example is merely the most recent one. The human race has a long track record of fantasizing about Armageddon to avoid thinking about the future.<br /><br />How can you honestly hope and dream for humanity if a central tenant of your belief system is anticipating the world itself coming to an end in your own lifetime?Matthew Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231470957925550626noreply@blogger.com
