I see... you only trust ancient out-of-date sociopaths from the stone-age? Hippies from the 1960s looked ridiculous and acted even worse. ... I disagreed with a statement on its own merit, don't make it all about you. Are you calling Penn Jillette a hippie? Because he was alive during the 60's? Could you be any more ignorant of the man? Did you know that Penn Jillette has never so much as had a sip of alcohol in his life? Why bother twisting his words around if you wont even listen to him say them? You are really twisting my interpretation of his words, as it was not a direct quote... that's just silly |

You people who want Bernie Sanders to be president either don't understand economics at all or just in it for the "free" stuff. Nothing is ever free and anyone with half a brain knows that. If you pay taxes, then you would be in for a huge tax increase. Bernie would eliminate the rich and middle class to create a lower class for everyone. I currently pay 33% tax, under Bernie's plan that moves to 60%. Now lets put that into perspective and you (especially Moloch) tell me it would be good with you if it were your money. You make $350,000 this year, fantastic right?!?! Well, under our current tax plan you would owe $115,000 in taxes, and under Bernie that would be $210,000. Sounds fair, right!!!!
Not in my book. If i want to give my money to the poor, that should be my choice, it shouldn't be ripped out of my hands and handed to someone else.
You people who claim that Bernie Sanders has anything to do with "free stuff" have not done any research Bernie's healthcare plan will save the average American $5000 every year... look it up What "free stuff" is Bernie giving out? (other than saving you money?) Who is the "average american". What that means is that if you pay taxes, you have to pay more taxes so that you can pay for someone else's healthcare. Bernie Sanders wants to tax the upper class 75%, look it up. You misunderstand both of those things... Bernie wants to cut out the middle-man from the insurance racket... republicans report that he will raise taxes, but they don't mention that you won't pay healthcare premiums anymore... it just cuts out the middle-man (for-profit insurance companies), which saves a ton of money for everyone (people and businesses) The 75% tax thing is a complete lie... Bernie never said that and you will never find a legit article claiming that he did It comes from a reference he made to FDR, when the top marginal tax rate was much higher... Also, MARGINAL tax rate... meaning only taxed at a high rate on income OVER $5,000,000... the first 5 million dollars will obviously get taxed at a lower rate, so don't worry Another fine point is that whatever the rate, we can use your 75% number if you like, is before deductions... the actual rate anyone pays would be closer to half of that after deductions It's all a bunch of scare tactics for people incapable of doing their own research... similar to the socialist label... people label him an evil commie bastard without a second thought |

Does it have to be mentioned again that there is no measurable evidence for religion/God?
yes , there is no god no heaven no saving by jesus.. we are in the real world not in a delusional heaven.. Ok, and yet you ask of community to provide one for you. So what do you want to hear. Now let me tell you what I want to hear: Give me PROOF and EVIDENCE that atheism(which you are so eagerly preaching) is ACCURATE and CORRECT. Just ONE proof and i will be the first one to became a true atheist. Atheism is not a religion, or a claim... it is a rejection of your claim that God exists Christians made a claim... "God exists, and he is just like is says in this book here"... Atheists read the book, and dispute this claim for lack of foundation/evidence It's as simple as, " We don't believe you"... what is there to prove? I did not ask you to define atheism, I know what atheism is. Give me only one proof and evidence that will prove it 100% accurate and correct. Let me help you. Actually the quickest way to destroy my faith in God would be to show a naturalistic mechanism for resurrection of the dead. Then Christ's resurrection, which is the center of our faith, would be nothing special at all. Of course people can't pop out of graves randomly. But God can raise people from the dead easily enough. But even that he has no obligation to do that. Your time here is measured, your days are numbered, remember that. Nobody ever resurrected from the dead... not even Jesus... in fact, Jesus never existed at all Have you ever heard of a non-biblical account of anyone rising from the dead? One that is verifiable, not some silly voodoo story? Dead people stay dead... sorry |

Because I don't need some man to tell me what's right and what's wrong. Especially not some ancient out-of-date sociopath from the 1960s, with a ponytail but without a conscience. I see... you only trust ancient out-of-date sociopaths from the stone-age? Have you seen the length of Jesus' hair? Talk about pony tail... It's sad that you will sit here and argue without even bothering to listen to what an Atheist has to say... What are you afraid of? Penn Jillette doesn't bite (unless you ask nicely) |

I always refer to Penn Jillette who says, "As an Atheist, I have raped and murdered exactly the number of people that I want to rape and murder... that number is zero"
You're saying it's okay to murder as many people as you want. As long as that number is zero. No, that's not what he said. He said the only reason he's never murdered anyone is because he's never felt like it. The number is currently zero, but it could change to any number based on the same principles. I think you're talking out of your arse here. Why not hear it from the man himself? Penn Jillette on morality without God (90 seconds) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WwarX443Lk |

Now there is your time machine. You do yearly backup when you renew your driver's license. When you die, they'll restore your brain to the year you specified on driver license application. Or it could be a walk-in procedure, you walk in and do a refresh from 10 years ago. Sort of like the movie Groundhog Day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VF5P7qLaEQCombined with human cloning they will be able to backup one's brain when he/she is born and then clone him/her, grow him/her, and upload the backup. So people would never really die. That should be doable within 20-40 years, if not sooner... The hard part is the clone... that's gonna take another 20 years unless you want to be a baby 40 years? Are you guessing or have you read Kurzweil's book about the singularity? Just an educated guess based on the progress of the current research But then again, I thought we'd have flying cars too |

When you take your last breath here on earth, you'll believe in God for sure ...
Your assertion is based on what? Have you died and came back? Has anyone died, say for a week and came back to tell us that God exist? Post a link, I'd love to send my fellow atheists to investigate. ... If you can not define what exactly God is, then how can you say that God does not exist?
Why would I want to define something that has no evidence in reality. I'm not in the business of writing Harry Potter's novels. If you believe in God, you define it and provide evidence of its existence. I can guarantee you'll win a Nobel Price and will be rich beyond your dreams if you provide a testable, scientific proof that supernatural beings exist. Anything, ghosts, angels, devil, god, tooth fairies etc... It just does not make sense to prove that something does not exist if that something does not exist. It does not exist because there is no proof of it's existence. What else is there to prove? It is childish. It is like asking someone to prove that Santa Claus does not exist. It is a made up story like all religions. Grow up people. As we explore the world and discover how it actually works, the space for religion and superstition gets smaller and smaller... Can you prove that he doesn't exist? What is at the center of every galaxy? When did we discover this? How much do we actually know about black holes? Time is relative, but how? So, the universe with it's immense order and perfection was created by chance? There will never be physical proof that god exists until the savior comes again or until you die. Then you will be able to see with your own eyes how things really are. If physical proof exists of God then there is no need to believe or have faith in Him, hence the lack of physical proof. Cay you prove that He does exist? The earth for example. If the earth were a just little bit closer or farther then it couldn't sustain life like it does. It's gravity is perfect, you aren't crushed and you don't fly off because its spinning so fast. I suppose that it was pure luck that it ended up that way? The entire universe is so perfectly ordered, I suppose that is pure chance as well. The human body has organs and glands that we don't even know what they do. But what you want is a picture of God or His DNA or something like that. Well, that isn't going to happen like I said previously, then faith wouldn't be required. These are all evidence that God does not exist... The universe is anything but perfectly ordered... it is also HUGE... if Earth is God's most important creation, why is it so small? The human body contains organs that we know exactly what they used to do... long ago, before we evolved into humans... the hiccup for example, is a reflex evolution has passed down since people were fish... we also have what is known as "the lizard brain"... we have an appendix, tonsils, gall bladder, etc... plenty of organs that a human can survive perfectly without... humans are fragile, susceptible to disease... we barely get any nutrition from our food, hence all the shit we poop out our assholes... Wouldn't a perfect God have designed humans to use a different opening to eat vs breathe? The fact that the mouth serves 2 purposes, ensures that a certain percentage of humans will choke to death... you call this perfect design? |

i am really feel sorry for that baby having such lunatic parents.. but this case totally prove that faith-healing and other so called miracle things dont exsist on earth.. we should trust science not god..
Organized religion is the biggest enemy of science. Many of the renowned scientists, including Charles Darwin, Nicolaus Copernicus, and Galileo Galilei were demonized and vilified by the church, for making discoveries which questioned the basics of religion. Islam is even worse. It makes sure that the followers remain illiterate and uneducated, so that the clerics can enslave them. Could not agree more. Religion is a force of horror hidden behind the ideas of good. A wolf in sheeple clothing |

Jesus loves you too Moloch, you can give up all that anger

So... You claim Amish are Christian?... Do you also claim Mormons are Christian? Where do you draw the line? Muslims?
The Amish and the Mormons are Christian. Why you are having doubts about it? Going by your logic, I can clam that the Shiites are not Muslims, and only the Wahhabis are Muslims. Just to remember you: The real name of the Mormon church is - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They believe in Christ, and therefore they are Christian. Muslims also believe in Jesus, are they Christian too? Mormons believe Jesus was a space alien who came from the planet Kolob, had sex with the 'virgin' Mary, etc... Mormons believe Jesus walked around in America a few hundred years ago! Mormons believe some dude put a magic stone into a magic hat to translate a magic golden book, which tells all about Jesus in America... |

I would rather live in an Atheist city than a Muslim city, or even a Christian city... Atheists have better morals than Christians, and are more polite (I've never had an Atheist tell my that I will burn in hell for eternity)
In general that is the case. But there are exceptions. I have met individuals from mainland China, who claims that they are atheist. Some of them were very rude. On the other hand, I have heard about the Amish people. They are conservative Christians, and at the same time, they are renowned for their politeness and down-to-earth lifestyle. So... You claim Amish are Christian?... Do you also claim Mormons are Christian? Where do you draw the line? Muslims? Did you know that excluding just the Catholics from "Christian" downgrades Christianity to the 4th biggest religion on the planet? |

Help ⇒ Debug window ⇒ Network Traffic
If your blockchain download is getting stuck, try connecting to different peers (some of them have slow connections, or limit you after downloading xx MB)
Close bitcoin-qt... find your /.bitcoin folder, and delete peers.dat file... then restart bitcoin-qt, and it will connect to new peers... hopefully downloading faster

Lol! "atheism is the biggest crime ever" Yeah ok, I'd rather live in an atheist city than in a rapists city xD you are right .. i would rather be an atheist than be a rapist or murderer.. I would rather live in an Atheist city than a Muslim city, or even a Christian city... Atheists have better morals than Christians, and are more polite (I've never had an Atheist tell my that I will burn in hell for eternity) |

we share same ideas. Before having a child, couples must be examined whether they can be a good parent or not.
How can you tell if a 16yr old will be a good parent? |

Thanks for the feedback. I will install an SSL cert
The site is still being built, and has no forum yet. I'm debating whether to use the forum tab for links to all the various forums for altcoins, etc., or to use this tab for something completely different
The thumbnail images I pull from the various RSS feeds... some of them give images, some don't... should I just display the default bitcoin image for all articles? I'd prefer a thumbnail for each, but some of the news sites don't share them
I would like to add more links to 3rd party news, reviews, resources, etc... if you have a crypto-related website, hit me up and i'll try to add links to your stuff

I am having a tough time taking you seriously
Can you elaborate on any of Trump or Bernie's policies? Any of them?
Please, use your words, don't just google and spam me with 50 reddit links
Either you understand these two guys' policies, or you don't... it's that simple
Why are you wasting so much time with an ignorant fool like myself? A TRUMP supporter. I am merely showing anyone who bothers to read this that you don't have the first clue what you are talking about Nothing but ignorant slander from a hateful person But... but... I love you. Don't you see? No hate in me. The drug in you wants to reject the cure that TRUMP is for your system. As I said, it is hard for you and I understand. I'll be there when your purple dinosaur will be hit by the asteroid called TRUMP! Get a nice pair of Ray-Ban to protect your eyes from the bright impact... And some sunblock too If you can't trust the KKK, who can ya trust? Right? KKK Grand Wizard White Supremacist David Duke: Donald Trump is Best Candidate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pFbRqtyAhAhttp://www.guns.com/2016/02/25/kkk-turn-out-to-show-support-for-trump-in-nv-video/As you said earlier: why should anyone trust the media? You seem to know more about him than I do. You should learn to read... I specifically said, main-stream/establishment media Since when is David Pakman or guns.com part of the establishment media? |
