Atheist "No God" Ad Campaign Launches in UK

yeah its funny how people fight enslave themselves and others out of fear. It's true the athiest message is more humanistic. It's really sad how desperate people can be to control other people. It's an ugly trait that can only be justified by threat of condemnation. I think religion breeds narcissism. Narcissists use people as mirrors of themselves and religious people can be very insecure if your beliefs don't mirror their own back to them (and this is sort of a covert or passive aggressive narcissism as compared to something like fashion). I think religious people can also be threatend by individualism which doesn't have to equal financial meltdown (again, yuppie styel) and lack of social welfare etc. it can mean just being unique and expressive. An article on live science journal states that religiousness may result from a lack of ego functions on the part of the person or people. Carl Jung said strong ego is needed in order to learn. Maybe this is why religious people allow themselves to be resigned to the end of the world. They maybe don't see opportunities for survival and harmony that a person with more developed ego sees and probably feel somewhat threatend by modern mentalities. http://www.livescience.com/health/081224-brain-spirit.html

If there is no God as the atheist claims why bother in the first place? or if there isn't, what 's the proof? Can't we just be grateful of the life we have? I can't believe how miserable and senseless this is. Why can't we just say 'There is no evil and live in peace, love and harmony with the people we most hate? This just show how selfish and ungrateful people can be.

im not sure why you think that all christians are these horrible people who try to force religion upon you. Its just an idea that were offering you to live a better life. To turn around and insult our beliefs is incredibly rude and thoughtless.

And its always a pathological belief on the part of religious followers, that they have some truth, that they dangle over followers heads and that's really the start of brainwashing. Religion is a total expression of narcisissm and ethnocentrism by people who are otherwise living in the dark (see above referenced science article).

I think since religious people are often unwilling to adapt to modern conditions the threat of bringing about destruction are greater, because they want to bring about a world that reflect their religious belief that things will escalate which is all a conveluded externalized narcissism where they lack the capacity for analysis but assume their lives are touched by some supernatural being.

Oh I think you can see the soul as a person's life experiences. being a part of humanity can be as xpiritual as anything else and i think religion is the thing that stands in the way of people realizing that..to me in religion a person soul is co-opted to relate to something made up and their thought processes are then removed from reality while they carry on with ficticious beings. life down here and observing the cosmos are enough. the brain tries to make sense out of things it can't understand and to me that is the causation of religion and supersitition and even myths. Just as religious "beings" can be viewed as both parts of the psyche (god superego - id devil etc, ego the "sinner") you can also view the emergance of all archetypes as metaphors for shifts in human comprehension and religion as one also to try to manage an increasing population. The same themes are repeated in myth and then modern religion. We recycle these metaphors and dont come to an objective understanding of them as byproducts of human evolution and religious people fight to stay in a mideval state and uphold the status quo, where the rest of us believe in adapting to the future, we believe in human rights, we believe in liberated scientific inquiry and art and the now and the evidience of spirituality between people that doesn't have a fictiious intermideary. I'd say religious people are afraid of other people overall. They're afraid of reality, they're afraid of life. Religion itself is a mass disassociation of reality where people who dont want to be individuals (because they think they were born sinners) can passive aggressively flirt with disaster by courting it world wide through the insular, isolating and nationalistic ways of prescribed belief.

"Because as long as there are believers, its cause for fear and worry for those who wish to live their life without the thought of consequence."

You're mistaken. The existence of believers doesn't make the violent fantasy of hell any more credible, frightening or worrying. The idea that atheists want to deconvert people because they don't like being reminded about hell is totally off the mark--and reminds me of how difficult it seems to be for some believers to understand how the world looks from the perspective of non-belief.

Put simply, atheists don't believe in hell, not 'deep down', not at all. Really. I think that this fact is difficult for many theists to accept because hell is an idea that weighs so heavily in their own lives.

Ab Fab did it before "Sin is in, sweetie, Sin is in." Granted this is more the yuppie version (i.e. mass production and vanity can probably be as destructive as religion).
