Is Atheism a religion? If not, what is?

Let MANkind do what it wants! I'm only stating that sex for "pleasurable" reasons will lead to more diseases than careful sex for "reproductive" reasons. Which is my opinion and perspective of how I view the world. Is it so wrong for me to try to save people from themselves? I try to care about people and look where it lands me! as the bad guy.

Your not the bad guy at all with that view. The problem is that view is unrealistic. We have a better chance in producing cures for these diseases then stopping mankind from having pleasurable sex.

World wide peace is unrealistic, yet the libs "fight" for that!

So you encourage the sham marriages gays have been forced into by social and religious pressure for years, making all involved unhappy, but you don't believe two people who love each other should be able to make a comittment to each other before the law. Boy that's twisted.

URETHRA! It's been a long time, babes! How are you? I've missed you!

I'd like to add to your post, and ask judge and his ilk how they think people going into sham marriages enhances the institution of marriage they claim they are so keen to protect?

As an atheist, do you have set of rules/morals that YOU follow?
 
yes. i try my best to treat people right and help my fellow man. i give to charitys as much as i can. i give my time when i can. i forgive many things and am not easily angered. i am a pacifist and i dont believe in fighting or wars. i believe u can succeed in life with hard work and dedication. i just dont believe in religion because it cause fighting. it is impossible to have many religions together without fighting. but i still have morals and beliefs.

religion ain't the only reason for wars, buddy. Besides, wars must be fought as long as their are people out there who want to hurt us. What are we supposed to do, sit idly by and watch them kill us? HOW FOOLISH!

well i assume by talking about people hurting us ur talking about osama. and what he did to us was terrible, but it wasnt an act of war. it was a crime against america, and he should be found and prosicuted for it.but it was not an act of war!

How?
For years you people have criticized gays for (allegedly) bedhopping, and now when they want to demonstrate their devotion to one person, suddenly THAT'S immoral too. Face it, you and your kind are just full of hate, end of story. It's your kind of twisted bigotry, rather than gay marriage, that weakens the moral fibre (note correct spelling) of society.

In the past 100 years or so Vietnam is the only war I can recall not being started by religious views.

Before that majority of wars were conquest based, and many many of those religion was used as the excuse.

How is it a crime and not an act of war? They hit the frickin' Pentagon! A government building!!!!!! And the airplanes were owned by airline companies that are regulated by the FAA, a gov't agency!!! And who knows how many gov't officials died that day? All the cops and firefighters that died on that day are regulated by the gov't! American soil and Americans in general were ATTACKED on a MASSIVE SCALE! So it was an act of war.

If a Canadian went to Paris and murdered a prostitute, that would be a crime, but if the same canadian had a nuke and leveled Paris, then that would be an act of war, especially if that canadian worked for the canadian gov't or worked for a group that the canadian gov't harbors.

The Japs hit us for non-religous reasons. Grenada, Columbia, Moga Dishu (spelling?), Desert Storm, Korea, Cambodia, Russia, Civil War, American Revolution, War of 1812; were all non-religious.

Oh yes, although people seem to be referring to Fant as "her". Fancy a little girl-on-girl action, Urethra?

No... no it wasn't. being attacked on a massive scale is like the Normandy Invasion or the the Battle of Britain. It may have been an attack on American soil but it wasn't really all that big. And how did we begin to compare crashing planes into buildings to Nukes?

How so?

I'm so sick of religion always getting blamed for shiz! While the Atheists sit there acting all high and holy on their high horse. The civil war wasn't about religion, it was about politics and slavery. The Japs feared our Navy and wanted to destroy it. We were in Nam, Korean, in a Cold war with Russia for political reasons again. Grenada was a hostage situation (600 American students). Mogu Dishu (Spelling?) was about helping the hungry. Where is religion as the forefront in all of that?

Im only really talking about the cold war era where some US soldiers were "taught" by a chaplain that they they were to "stop the godless commies at all costs". Athiests are no better than any other belief. They lack proof that god doesn't exist, just like other religions lack factual proof that God does exist. None of them win in my book which is also know as the careless and hateless hand book

Yes many of those are not based on religion but based on politics. I did ask for the last 100 years. So I will ignore the last three. It's interesting to see how long we have been a power house in global wars. If I remember each of those correctly the USA fought in 5 of the 7.

The conflicts in Russia are religion based (Orthodox Christians vs Muslims). Here conflicts in the past 100 years that are religion based: Afghanistan, Bosnia, East Timor, Indonesia, Iraq, Israel, Kashmir, Kosovo, Macedonia, Northern Ireland, Pakistan, Chechnya, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tibet.
