Is that what it means?

Learn something every day.

You know I heard "religion" doesn't mean "God". Is that atheist thinking?


You heard wrong , no where in the bible does it say that , the bible says we should not focus on observing rites and rituals. Paul said himself in Acts that he belonged to one of the strictest of "our religion" Christianity and Judaism are referred to as a religion numerous times in the Bible.


As for going to Church you miss the point as to why people are supposed to go , The bible says it is to have fellowship with other followers of Christ .


So circling back and considering the literal definition of the word atheistic ...


"Without God "


Protip .. placing the letter "a" before a word denotes one is living or excluding something from their life ...


amoral = "without morals" see how that works ?

amoral - lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something

So without a book full of made up stories and b.s. we now lack morals?

Jesus Christ, what have i done.

Grouping folks that don't actively participate in organized religion as all atheists is incorrect. I'm not an atheist, but I believe most of what folks practice is a bunch of made up BS that changes fairly often as well.

Hell I remember a debate in the American Baptist church of my youth about whether women should be allowed to wear pants in church. Science changes as evidence deems it should. Religion changes as society deems it should.

(men having babies ain't science)
Nothing wrong with religion that removing humanity wouldn’t fix. We, humanity, do a good job of corrupting anything and everything.

Number of times I've met god... 0
Number of times you've met god... also 0

those work for ya?

I'm an avid, no, make that "serious, amateur photographer." As a photographer, I see evidence of God every day as it is in all of His creation.

So, without God, how did the universe come about? And, how about all the complexity of everything from the simple cell to the wonder of the human body and all the interactions of the organs in that body? Are you going to say that we came about by accident?

It amuses me to watch this going on. Christians don’t believe in any of be other hundreds of Gods out there because theirs is the best. The idiot who openly chose one race over all others then had to sacrifice his son to backtrack. It’s almost as bad as Zeus turning into a goose and banging a queen.

Yeah, and stoning women for adultery, killing kids for talking back, taking slaves, etc..was all good until that changed too. (think Leviticus)
Jesus told the crowd that he who is without sin should cast the first stone. and Jesus told the woman to go and sin no more. note that Jesus didn't tell her to go home and continue in her sin??? Jesus also condemned the perversion of Gods law and called it "mans law". he called them whitewashed tombs.
