Atheism would be fucking brilliant if its virtues could be applied to upholding laws of the nation. I DON'T BELIEVE IN MARIJUANA BEING ILLEGAL. Uh ohs, so does that mean I am no longer bound to the affects of being ARRESTED? fucking rediculous. There are a lot of points to debate but seriously, who cares? Atheists will do their thing, and people that have the Holy Spirit will do others. I suppose Atheists laff much less at rediculous shit like Black Magic and Witches, but oh, Jesus Christ is the funniest zombie joke they know.
I care. I don't like seeing people brainwashed. Nor do I like living in a society of brainwashed people. Especially when the brainwashing can lead to further irrational decisions like bigotry and intolerance.
That said, I am happy religion exist, as it is an effectively form of self-government, without this, this world would be a much more crazy place to live it.
As indirect as possible here I would like to pose the questions... so science basically says we are fucked once our internal organs can no longer support working together? We just "go to sleep forever", right? Basically a guy like Hitler could be as bad ass as possible and cause the direct/indirect DEATH and Suffering of millions, and then just die and well he can sleep in peace now, no retribution for that mother fucker. I like science, but anyone that believes that we are not monkeys and the buck doesn't stop here knows that Science is a Don of the holyspirit. I guess I am expecting too much from others who don't have any inclination to stuff outside of the box, unless it's dinosaurs, wormholes in space, ghosts, witches, penis enlargement pills, ahh yes, those really put a nice touch to the end of my own personal life experience.
we have to accept that certain things are simply unknown, and possibly unknowable

I can accept the thought of there always being unknowns, but I do not accept the position that there is a limit of what can be known. Maybe after reaching past limits of what was unknown we may find more, but accepting failure to the unknown isn't just being narrow minded. It's just that, acceptance towards failure.. in my opinion
I agree with you 100% I re-read my post and was not clear. By unknowable, I meant that there is always the possibility that something will be unknowable to US, as individuals. I would never discount the possibility of us as a species aquiring any knowledge ever. It's why I used the word "possibility". It's about accepting that some things I just won't be able to learn in my lifetime. That's not to say I wouldn't persue that knowledge, just that I may not be able to get there. And I'm cool with that. The persuit of knowledge is the noblest of goals.
If a god created everything we know, what created this god? What created that creator?
Can god microwave a burrito so hot, even he can't eat it? - Homer Simpson (I've gotten a lot of shit for using this quote as reinforcement that there is no "god" as english language would define it, because believers have a horrible time realizing that by even answering this question you've already admitted that your god is not all powerful)
