I wouldn't believe any stories that come out of Ethiopia..especially a claim like that one..also animals are to smart to believe in god..their main function is to survive..
Technically, all animals are atheists by default, since they have no belief in a god - just as all humans are at birth. The fact that they cannot understand the concepts behind theism and atheism is irrelevant. Even if no religions existed at all in the world, everyone would still be an atheist - even though that word, and it's concept, would be unknown to us. Now, queue your standard canned (completely wrong) atheist rant.
The ever changing standards of atheism at it again. Several of your peers already acknowledge a point, but petulent excuse in hand, any disagreement with our poor, poor victim here is automatically persecution. If you can get an animal to profess his belief in no God - more power to you. After all, that would be the standard that atheists use in prison studies? Of course, if someone is remotely famous and ever so much as utters criticism about religion - that's enough to be an atheist too. Ergo, in this circumstance, animals are atheists by default. When they attack and kill, well, that is because God is cruel to allow such things. Its always about finding fault. And always being a victim ... that angry tingle going up your spin? That is atheism.
Everyone else find the arrogant opinions devoid of actual arguementation tiresome and immature. A bunch of star wars geeks choking each other? Yep, that is atheism in all its magnificence. Does anyone else notice the distinct lack of empathy from atheists?
How about the lack of empathy from the so-called Christians? also, being a Star Wars geek has nothing to do with Atheism. I was a Star Wars geek long before I was an Atheist.
Called that one - let me put on my surprised face. The bolded text is just wrong (and not what I said), and is why you will just never understand any of this.
How is quoting a movie arrogant? And how does it have anything to do with atheism? Reported for trolling. You're constant bull(*)(*)(*)(*) is just old.
That was natural selection that saved that girl - she will not be able to breed and create a new species due to the evolutionary process!!! OR The lions are evolved more than other lions and they will breed and next time don't be surpised if the lions start talking!!
Oh, I understand the ever changing standards of atheism all too well. No thesis statement supported by nothing is support of nothing. Its quite clear to those who are not enraptured with themselves and are actually driven by probability, evidence, and an acknowledged leap of faith. You? "No one else but atheists can understand it!" Sound like an evidenced position or just arrogance? Yep, everyone understands it but atheists.
Yep, that is another sign of teh maturity of atheism. Their best evidence is a bad joke at SOMEONE else's expense - and when called on - why runs straight to the mods. Unable to handle an actual debate - needs mom and dad to make the bad man called reality go away. Make all the excuses you want atheists - in the end this is what you are left for, derision of others and running to authority to make up for the lack of ability to support a position that defines you.
I have no idea how you can keep claiming "ever changing standards" when I have NEVER described it differently. Ever. I never said that either, liar. I said YOU don't understand it. Evidenced by your own blatantly false, dishonest, and fallacious "arguments".
More bull(*)(*)(*)(*) lies and dishonesty. I didn't ridicule that poster, and it was not a derogatory joke at his expense. He mentioned The Force, and I replied with a contextual quote from a movie as a playful joke. Darth Vader spoke those words while force choking Admiral Motti, so I emoted that part as well. It's one of the most well-known quotes from all of the Star Wars movies. It's not my problem if you didn't full understand the reference - it obviously wasn't for you.
