    Have you people back in the home land been introduced to the wonders of Tuc Crackers stuck onto Chocolate bars yet? Or is this a uniquely German thing?

    I know both Dairy Milk and Milka got added to Philadelphia Cheese in both countries so just thought Dairy might have copied this one too.

    You cannot deny many atheists are only on forums like this to put down those with any kind of theistic belief, not even religious beliefs, but even those who have any belief in god.

    This is a hilarious comment considering this is the Atheism & AGNOSTICISM forum, do you know what agnosticism is?

    Nah, the prose was just too weak.

    While resisting all temptations to populist thinking, he failed to advance a symbiotic dialectic of the infinite, while also, and dialectically proposing an infinite symbiosis of the mundane and the transcendent.It also fails to argue for the rejection of the current impinging atheist mindset that naturally appeals to a misplaced rationality, which blinds one to the ultimate insolubility of existence and purpose.

    Looks like someone found the Google Translate "English -> John Waters" setting :P

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    Aussie cadburys is awful too - they have to put an extra something or other in to stop it melting on the shelves which makes it taste like that nasty 'chocolate flavoured' cooking stuff.

    You see unlike these "other philosophies" you talk about, people in religious countries tend to assume that everyone else is religious.

    So when you're asked why you haven't put the ashes of a burnt tree on your forehead, or why you don't agree that homosexuality is an abomination before god, you kind of need a word to describe your worldview.

    The only reason atheists exist in any kind of public way is because religious people refuse to keep their religion to themselves.

    Many atheists refuse to leave people to their religion

    Because some religions insist on forcing their views on everyone. No you can't have gay marriage/abortion etc because the sky fair says it's wrong and so forth...

    Those would be anti-theists or anti-religions. They might also happen to be atheist. But just because one is atheist doesn't mean they're anti-religion. So you could have just have easily have said "many people refuse to leave other people to their religion". Indeed, that statement would have be far more accurate. As it stands you seem to think being against religion is a characteristic of atheism, if it is then so it is a characteristic of not collecting stamps.

    Now, can we get back to talking about biscuits please.:(

    Kidchameleon's probably right.

    The thing is though, some of these atheists will have a good reason (in their opinion) to insist on hassling religious people. e.g. They find themselves at the end of bigotry/discrimination/whatever. That's justifiable.

    Others won't, and might just do it for kicks or out of spite. That's not.

    Can I just point out that Martin Luther tried to get loads of people to 'leave their religion' or doesn't he count as he wasn't an atheist..neither was John Calvin...or John Knox...or Joe Smith....
