    Everyone has access to food and fresh water ? That’s the most uninformed and selfish observation yet. Kids in Flint Michigan didn’t.. Victims of hurricanes don’t. Entire continents have been victimized by draughts over the years and millions have collectively died because of it. The question was, if God is so all concerned with we understanding quantum theory, why can’t he just make conditons better to prevent 20k children from dying each DAY. You have a pretty neglectful God. His generously only seems to extend to those enrolled in universities.

    I guess that means you have to beleive in a God or at least the tooth fairy to be an American and not a Marxist. So now you’re saying Americans have to be uneducated, anti science and believe in scam artists.

    The old Marxism scare. And Trump, your leader kept the speeches of Hilter on his bed stand. Trump, a real Christian...

    Nope, but I can see why you want to believe that to be true. Of course not. Only a young, looney toon socialist would believe such a thing.

    BTW, Marxists are real although after the collapse of the Soviet Union, they've lost a lot of power and funding. Now, at least in the US, they are mostly confined to young men of college age who spend more time smoking pot than earning an "A" in college classes. Trump isn't a Christian, he's a looney toon septuagenarian billionaire playing President on Reality TV.

    No one admistration had as much corruption as Reagan. And, he was a “real” American. He leads all administrations in indictment.
    Boy, that graph looks very scientific. ( sarcasm)

    Referring to the young socialist is hysterical. Especially when you consider even the most ardent Trump supporters and republicans in general over 65 love their Medicare. It’s socialized medicine totally financed by your tax dollar with an overhead less then 1/6 of private insurance. The Marxist scare is super hypocritical when you consider EVERYONE is a liberal socialist when it’s personal and in need. Heck, even the Reagans were a gun control freaks after Ronny was shot.

    Let's rephrase the question...

    Can the 'religious' coexist with atheists and/or witchcraft persons?

    Kids in Flint could easily get to the next town over. You don't know anything about hurricanes. Before a hurricane we here in So.Fla all stock up on water. The hurricane's path is not so broad that you can't travel one town over where they have electricity, water and food. There's fresh water everywhere. If you're going to live in a desert than expect to get thirsty and stop whining about it. Those choices are yours. But you need it served to you as though God was your houseboy. You must be a millennial.


    You don't know one single thing about my God - not one single thing. If God doesn't exist, than how could He be neglectful?
    YES or NO - Is God neglectful?

    We can start with what may be a more basic question:

    Can the "religious" coexist with the "religious"?

    The thing is, if the answer is "yes" then the addition of atheists to that soup would be trivial.

    Max has not been the only one throughout this thread who has pointed out the the majority of theists and atheists get along quite well.

    As long as they are not in the same vicinity....

    I have been coming to places like this for the better part of two decades, seeing the same things I see today - how does Max or anybody else know what "the majority" thinks, especially when you consider that the person insulting you anonymously here may very well be the person who is supposed to be working side by side with you on the job?

    People come to the internet daily and make claims that I know full well are false. I am applying the same standard of evidence that they apply to the existence of God - I want to see the proof.

    Next you're going to claim that Catholics, protestants, Jews, Muslims, and the rest have a long history of peace and understanding - as demonstrated by the founding of our own nation by people whose religions were all openly welcomed in their place of origin.

    Oh, please.

    Throughout history religion has played a strong role in organizing groups of humans.

    Oh, please. Don't act like organization is the sole province of religion. Are you trying to make it look like religion is responsible for Marxists and that excuses the excesses of Marxists, communists and socialists?

    Now you are making false statements about what I said.

    Please reread my post and attempt to make a point without ridiculous attempts at accusing me of saying stuff I absolutely did NOT say.

    Of course Can atheism coexist with religion? if the government has a constitution that protects freedom of and freedom from religion.
