This answer is obviously figured out if you know anything about the history of this world. Polytheism was the original founding of religion and it was created thousands of years before monotheism was forced onto the people by certain governments who only wanted to support a regional god that was connected to that ruling region. Under polytheism, there are multiple gods meaning they are making all sorts of different eyeballs. Therefore not every eyeball is as good as the next since not every god has the same handiwork. All the different god's are running around making trees, and birds, and mountains and other cool shite so there is so much variety. Polytheism is greater than monotheism because monotheism is for selfish idiots who only want to recognize a regional god that no one else believes in unless you kill them until they do.

Atheist here.

Didn't vote for Trump.

And I certainly don't brag about it.

It is what it is. People can believe and/or worship if that is their thing. It's just not mine.

I'm an agnostic Trump supporter and as we learned this past election cycle, these left wing campus surveys/polls are as legitimate and believable as the tooth fairy.

You're also crossing the lines of hypocrisy (although this is nothing new for the left) by calling someone else an "utter buffoon who makes things up and childishly insults his opponents" when this is precisely what the libtards have resorted to since the election.

Nah. Most of us keep pretty quiet about it. It only seems like that because you obviously never hear from the atheists who keep it to themselves.

Who would have guessed?

Being atheist is different from being anti-religion. I don't like the rituals of many religions' dogma, but each of them recognizes the universally obvious truth that there is a creator of this magnificent universe.

I pity those of you who have such weak moral anchors that you will drift wherever the popular self-serving currents take them.

Trump is far from perfect - but he may be the perfect antidote to the irrationality that pervades you worthless scum. He trolls you into revealing the absolute vacuum in your thought processes, revealing that you have noting but mindless hatred at your core.

Hail Trump - you orange tinted, braggadocios buffoon, you hard working hardhat, you impervious magnificent bastard - drive the infantile snowflakes into the fire and begone with them!!!!!

MAGA!!!!!

So in your polemic against a person you perceive to be an arrogant insulting buffoon you act like one. Rapier logic.

(Not to mention your use of post hoc ergo propter hoc and begging the question fallacies, while appealing to and touting your own logical prowess.)

Which is normal for all but the rabid evangelicals from both sides.

I am convinced there is a God who is the creator of this unimaginably complex universe.

Until someone can show me an evolutionary path for the development of human conscience, I am convinced that only an all powerful GOOD Creator could have capped off this jewell of a cosmos by creating a humanity that strives for universal good.

The various religions are merely attempts to keep reminding ourselves of this miracle of creation - and in warn us away from believing that WE are the all-powerful force of the universe.

I'm atheist

I haven't found over my life that atheists are any different than their non atheist counterparts in terms of evaluating and solving problems.

OP assumes a fact not in evidence

They can't. The conscience is the only part of a human's physical make-up that has never been identified by proof. Where is it in the brain? What does it look like? Every other part of our physical make-up has been exposed in several ways, except for our conscience.

Conscience isn't part of the physical body.

Is this really your opinion on atheists? The OP was stupid but this is exactly why most of us keep our beliefs to ourselves.

I don't think you know what this word means. You've claimed three times now that it was physical.

Do we?

I'm not being facetious.

How would we really know if our conscience isn't just another result of normal biological processes in the brain?

This really is no different than God of the gaps arguments. It surmises that the human inability to explain something means something beyond simply that humans can't explain it yet.

The OP is still dumb.

What a bullshite line. As an atheist in the south, I'm surrounded by religion, evangelical religion. I've never met an atheist where I didn't have to flesh it out of them.

I'm sure they are out there, but it's nowhere near the amount of self righteous christians running around.

As soon as an Atheist can prove to me God doesn't exist , I'll join the club.

I have no desire whatsoever to prove to you God doesn't exist.

I realize some atheists have this desire. But not me

Not to get in an argument with you because I have no issue with your faith (I sit on a pew with Christians every Sunday), just to explain my thought process, there's no way to prove that something doesn't exist. I believe that's known as proving a negative. But I'm very interested in any proof that He does exist.
