What's stressful, depressing, or disappointing about not having a god up in the sky? How is "hope" lost? Hope for what? Hope for a pipe dream...
It's widely accepted by historians that the gospels were written at least 50 years after Jesus' death. And many historians, such as Bart Ehrman,...
It might be intrinsically a part of our nature - and it might not. You are assuming everybody prays when they're in trouble. I assure you there...
No it's not. I already posted this link in reference to one of your previous comments. Again: http://www.nazarethmyth.info/Fitzgerald2010HM.pdf...
I thought we were all agnostic - whether atheists or theists - since we don't know. Even you say "I don't think there is any sort of higher...

The loving intent is there, which is good - and that does make a difference - but the prayer is unnecessary. It would be equally good if you went...
there is no hate or animosity against the loving intent. the animosity is against irrational belief... the notion that somebody thinks saying...
