(In response to "Why is the lack of belief in any gods (atheism) considered to be worse than belief in the 'wrong' god?")
Atheists' lives are meaningless without Jesus Christ. People of other religions have false Gods to fill in those voids, but atheists remain bitter, angry, and sad. They're not completely filled, but not completely empy like the atheists' hearts. Some atheists are so sad that they trick themselves into thinking their lives are complete as a way to cope.

Yeah, go to a hellfire-and-brimstone church, look around you, and tell me who's bitter, angry and sad.

Bullshit. I try and make the most in this world and make a difference for people around me so that future generations can also live happily. Your type would be happy to pollute the environment and ruin the world's laws with buttfucking bigotry since you're waiting on a 'rapture' that'll never come.

The only bitterness is that your 'faith' deserves any respect when it tries to diminish our science or claim moral superiority over things like critical thinking and reasoning.

Ironic, since you all delude yourselves into thinking that a magical sky daddy will look after you for forever and will forgive you for absolutely anything if you ask for it. That's a hell of a lot easier than the way normal people do things, asking for forgiveness from the person they wronged.
Bitter?
*licks wrist inquisitively*
no, actually I'm mildly salty.
I've never strongly believed in any deity, and always found myself to be more stable and happy than many of my theistic friends growing up. When I stopped beating around the bush and fully admitted my atheism to myself and others, I actually gained a fair bit of courage and identity. I feel not so much that I'm missing something, but rather that everyone else has so much extra, unnecessary weight tacked on to them, dragging them down. I feel light, free, agile in comparison to you ridiculous fundies.
"Atheists' lives are meaningless without Jesus Christ."
No, they just find a different kind of meaning. "I want to die so that I can spend time with Jesus" is not everyone's wet dream; just yours.
As an atheist I must say, That millions of rea is full of shit.
My life is not meaningless.
Evolution has taught me that my goal in life is to have sex with a female and raise children, unless I die first, then I lose the game.
I've been an atheist all my life.
My only "bitterness" is when people like you come along and try to foist your bullshit on me. I don't want it, I have no need for it, and I don't like being told that I do need it.
Of course, you are just going to ignore me completely and assume you know how I really feel, because you are incapable of fathoming the fact that people can be happy without believing in an imaginary man in the sky.

I wouldn't agree with defining victory in just those terms. If you lose your life but save that of your niece or nephew, you still win. If you lose your life but save that of your brother or sister you might also have given them the opportunity to have (or raise to maturity) children. And you can extend this principle as far as you like to any blood kin, or even to anyone who has qualities you admire (which may of course be passed on by nurture as well as nature). In fact, since we're social animals, you can extend this principle to any human being or to any worthwhile product of human creation. That way we all win.
To me, that has meaning. No gods required.

No need to worry about dying. After all, simply by making that post, you've already lost the game (as have I by posting this reply, but mehh, them's the breaks).

According to the Bible, it's not. The Bible just says people who don't believe are condemned. But about worshiping other gods, it says "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me". In other words, He'll punish you, your children, your grand-children and great-grand-children, as well.
And Christians fill the void in their lives worshipping a dead rabbi.
It isn't the atheists who are actively campaigning for the end of the world because they are so bitter, angry, and sad. It's the death cultists among the various fundy sects.
Ummmm, no, we just fuck christian women whose husbands are so consumed with the gospel, and forget they have a woman at home.... or we fuck the asses of you pastors that really missed out on anal pleasure because of what they where told the babble says about anal sex, which was a lie... hey, their xtian wives could have worn a strap on, but no....
"atheists remain bitter, angry, and sad."
I thought I was supposed to be reveling in booze fueled drug and sex orgies. Now I'm supposed to be bitter, angry and sad! I wish the fundies would all get together and agree on which points of view they are going to get totally wrong.
There's no meaning in life without god?
"If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifices for the benefit of all; then we shall experience no petty, limited, selfish joy, but our happiness will belong to millions, our deeds will live on quietly but perpetually at work, and over our ashes will be shed the hot tears of noble people."
Karl Marx>The Bible.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
