I think a lot of people that are Atheists have more of a problem with religion than they do with the idea of God. They're two completely different things, and it saddens me when people get so mad at religion that they also give up on God.
That's not it. The entire idea of being an atheist is that you don't believe in a god. The problem with religions is that they try to justify their beliefs with a god. Nothing else enforces the idea of a god than a religion, so if you're fed up with god you're fed up with religion and vice versa.
Why should he, it's his life, he told us, if you don't like it, don't post.
I can post whether I like it or not. The only instance I couldn't is if I didn't care.
did the hobo deserve it though?
He didn't "deserve" it, but he doesn't need to. The thing is that just because you don't understand why something happened or because it affected you doesn't mean there isn't an explanation. In this case it's that deserving had nothing to do with it. It's the driver's fault.
Atheists don't care about religion or the idea of god at all, they just know handicaps can't handle it so would rather it not exist.
This
Religion and God are two completely separate things.
Religion and god "go hand in hand".
Bullstuff.
The religion he's converting to has a god as it's central theme.
