My friend says that Atheism is a cancer of society ?

Question

Is he right ?

Answer 1

Says who?  The religious virus?

Answer 2

Ignorant people say all kinds of stupid things.

Answer 3

Atheism is a philosophical position based, upon other things, on the lack of evidence for magic.

It is logic.

Answer 4

(though he is wrong), that is better than it being the opiate of the masses.

I'd rather have a bunch of cancery people running around than a bunch of high people who go around killing each other

Answer 5

i think ur fren is just another one of the "products" of this crazed society that developed religion and all kindda books .

he has been throughly brain washed, by "ppl" who "started" god. i believe god never existed but is just a fragment of the imagination.

the way "they "  look at atheist, is the problem , they can't understand that some others can be cleverer than them.

and figure it out.

that's wht he thinks

he is not cancer of society

he is just one of the deciples of this dictatorship

Answer 6

Your friend is a fanatic logic doging arrogant bigot.

Answer 7

Your friend is wrong in saying that. People are entitled to their own opinions, including Atheists (whom i am one of). We're not devil worshippers or disgusting people, I just don't believe in God. Big deal. That may be your friends opinion, but it is not correct.

Answer 8

This is the opinion of someone who sees belief in a god as the only correct way of living. Millions would disagree, as do I.

Answer 9

No. Your friend is a religion-crazed close-minded dbag that needs clinical help.

Answer 10

I disagree with your friend. Atheists value logical and rational thought and reality as opposed to faith in god. And presumably your friend vales faith more. Faith is believing in something without evidence. Do you have faith there is an invisible pink unicorn in my backyard? I certainly don't. Faith won't pay my bills or educate my children. Faith won't heal the sick or feed the hungry. Faith in a god is, in my opinion, a cancer on society.

Answer 11

Religion in general is a cancer of society.

Religions start wars and people kill for believes that can't even be supported by any facts.

So no, your friend is wrong.

Answer 12

Tell him that the scientists who are working on the cure for cancer are probably atheists as well.

Answer 13

Absolutely NOT! Atheism is the cure for the cancer called Theism.

What can be more detrimental to society than the believe in something that does not exist...other then of course a belief that limits self expression in favor of conformity, restricts free thinking in favor or 'faith' and demand unquestioning loyalty to a this none existent being that, based on the book of teachings (a.k.a. the bible), is malevolent, arrogant, brutal, merciless and vengeful but tells his people to be the opposite.

Theistic religions DIVIDE people. They split people into groups within their own ranks and the aim to separate themselves from those outside their little organizations. They discourage looking outside their faith for help, most of all for knowledge. Theistic religions, especial Christianity and Islam have done more harm to the world the good.

So how is atheism a cancer...Ah... because it detracts from the destructive forces of theism. LOL

Answer 14

no he's an idiot.

Answer 15

religion is an opium of the people

       -marx

Answer 16

I say that your friend is a tumor of humanity?

Am I right?

Certainly. ;)

Answer 17

Let us see - atheists are freethinkers who embrace rational thought, who base their ethics on both compassion and reason and mostly work hard to make the world a more tolerant place to live! Doesn't sound cancerous to me, I think your friend meant blind faith is the cancer of society.
