Now I felt like, since the posts in this guild are down, to try to make
an official looking type of post. A post of something
I think needs to be looked at. As the title said,
these are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Atheism.
CAUTION: The following requires common sense to understand!

Advantages of Atheism:
Now to be honest, I couldn't think of any of these from the top of my head.
So I cheated and used the Internet to find some. These facts where pretty
well hidden into the confines of the Web. After searching for a nice while,
I found the Holy Grail of Athiesm... or the closest thing to it. I found a site
(Link is bellow) called "Atheism... Ten Advantages!" and it was, of course,
ten advantages of atheism. Here is the reasons he put:
1. Be an atheist and save 10% by not attending or donating to a church.
There are additional savings for not buying expensive clothes and vehicles
to impress the other church members.
Now I don't know about my fellow Christian(I do, but let's say I don't),
but I don't buy an expensive car for my Church Buds... I ride my bike to Church!
I don't donate usually, either. Although, I will admit I do wear a collared shirt to it.
2. As an atheist you are no longer obligated to say “God bless you”
to someone who sneezes.
Yes! He did actually put that! Me as a Christian am not obligated to do that. But, as a
person of morals, I am obligated to have courtesy. I don't see how that's really a big
deal either way.
3. As an atheist you can sleep in on Sunday mornings.
Seriously? Alright, I guess so. I hope these get better and not keep getting worse.
Personally, I don't sleep in no matter what day. To be honest, I really don't have
something to comeback this. Well I do, but I'm putting it at the end.
4. An atheist is not required to confess to, or kiss the ring of any Catholic clergymen.
I don't confess to anyone other then God. And I've never kissed a ring of anybody.
5. An atheist can listen to any music, read any book or listen to any speaker
without worrying about being excommunicated or shunned.
Now there is truth to this. In the Medieval period kingdoms were excommunicated for
maybe declaring war on one of the fellow Christian nations. I have books like
Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species" and Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion",
but I've never been shunned for having them. I listen to atheist talk shows like
"The Atheist Experience" yet I've never been excommunicated.(I love how he used that word)
Welcome to the 21st century.
6. An atheist can eat fish, shellfish, pork or anything he/she desires without
sin or violation to dietary laws.
You too, eh? Not sure about other Christians, but I don't do that. Never taught to.
7. An atheist can determine what is right or wrong for themselves within the limits
of human law and their own conscience.
I say it again. You too, eh? I myself can determine that, too. I'm not totally sure what the dudes
trying to say in this. He doesn't seem like the bashing type so I'm going to leave it like that.
8. An atheist does not need to pray or read books about atheism to retain
his/her stance. Atheism requires no brainwashing nor constant indoctrination.
I read books of everything, not because I have to, but because I want to. When I think of
brainwashing I think about Hitler's propaganda of master race and to bash everybody
who doesn't agree, not to love your neighbor as yourself. Come on, read what you type.
9. Guys, if you want to read this one click on the link.
I'm not having that talk on my post. I have standards. This be rated G!
10. An atheist is not required to use titles when addressing his/her fellow
non-believers, such as “Brother Bob”, “Pastor Tim”, or “Sister Jill”.
That one makes sense, too. One word makes a difference. Proven by science!
Think about it, all that time you spent saying that... you would've blinked! That is,
if you can't semi- multi- task.
Now to some this up.
I always think about what if the tables were turned and I was on the defensive side
of this post. I would be pissed! This aren't good reasons at all. I'd say "Mez, you are dumb!"
Guys, I tried to find better ones, they were all worse then this! If you think you can
do better post it, bro.
If you have 100 dollars and you got a quarter, just like these advantages, it just
wouldn't matter!
