And at the top of the list at the site he links to?
I think you'll find the lifestyle in Sweden very similar to that of the United States. We do have less very rich people, but less very poor people too.
So what was your point, Jim? This isn't a paradise, but it sure isn't a bad place. So what do you mean to imply about countries with a lot of atheists?
Pity the normal person knowing an atheist. They are extremely rare in the USA
They are the roaches of society, wandering in the dark, scurrying away when the light come on.
Read the first two sentences at that link:
"Below is a list of the top fifty countries containing the largest measured percentage of people who identify as atheist, agnostic, or non-believer in God. These figures do not necessarily represent the number of people who are identify themselves as "atheists." "
Its a post of fail with a link to more fail.
Look at the nations with the most atheists then compare
Speaking as someone who is born in such a country, Norway and who currently live and work in the US, I have to say I'm really happy I have a Norwegian citizenship and not a US one.
"Look at the nations with the most atheists then comparehttp://www.adherents.com/largecom/com_atheist.html "
Most of the countries on that list compare very favourably with the US and in things like access to health care, infant mortality and life expectancy exceed it. America doesn't even provide universal health care for its children, FFS! Children! You're proud of that? What kind of barbarian society are you living in?
Pity the normal person knowing an fundy. They are extremely rare in most of the world. Look at the nations with the most fundies then compare their lifestyle to people elsewhere.
You invite me to spray you with pepper spray if you get too close and start preaching. And if you've got a tolerance to that, as I suspect you might, I've got hairspray and Daddy's knife.
I'm not an atheist, but as a Pagan, I'm not his idea of a "normal person" either, thank the Gods. I love quite a few atheists, including my wife and my brother. Lots of good comes from them.
By the way, has anyone else wondered why, if atheists are *so* terrible, these people would even want y'all on their team in the first place?
> They invite people to spray them with 'atheisticide', the truth of the Word of God.
I suggest you go work on a new formula for your atheisticide; the current one doesn't appear to be working very well.
> Pity any nation plagued with ANY atheists.
You don't travel much, do you?
They invite people to spray them with 'atheisticide', the truth of the Word of God.
Sorry, but that's actually atheist growth hormone.
Well, I don't have any argument against Nordic bedfellows.
Lacking proper Fundicide, here's a tip from Grandma's diary:
"Put a slug of Whiskey in your atomizer. That'll send those wretches down the road in no time."
Conversely, the nations with the highest number of fundies are some of the most backward societies in the world: Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan...
They made their choice and will sleep in the bed they
And we sleep very comfortably, thank you very much.
Look at the nations with the most atheists then compare
Yes, let's.
Top of your list is Sweden at up to 85% atheist. Infant mortality rate 2.75 deaths per 1000 births (CIA World Factbook), second lowest in the world (after majorly atheist Japan). Av life expectancy, 80.74 years, homicide rate 2.39 per 100,000.
USA, 3-9% atheist, infant mortality rate 6.3 deaths per 1000 births, 43rd lowest in the world. Av life expectancy 78.14 years. Homicide rate 5.7 per 100,000.
Doesn't seem to support your conclusion, does it?
@Zabimaru
I lived in Sweden for two years. I have also lived in the USA.
@Word_Swordman
Your statistics do not bear out your argument, but rather disprove it. It is evident that the research supports the view that countries with a large atheistic population are better, as a rule, to live in than the USA.
Lifestyle?? You wanna talk about "lifestyle"? Sure, why not...
I pay more taxes and social security contributions than you, so that is crap, I give you that.
On the other hand...
I'll never have to pay additional money for medical treatment; my likelihood of getting shot at is minimal; if I ever get wrongly convicted I won't be put to death; I can risk getting unemployed or handicapped and the state will pay for me; I get 25 days of paid holidays a year; I live on a continent that's got more culture than you can shake a stick at; within 2 hours I can be in Paris, Rome, Madrid, Berlin, Prague or Stockholm AND I can proudly sew my flag on my backpack wherever I go (except Ireland and Argentina, fair enough); I've got the choice between hundreds of excellent beers and whiskeys from my own country; our broadcasting corporation is globally renowned for its quality output; we've got amazing porn AND we don't start panicking if we spy a nipple on TV; Swedish and Italian women!! (and men) - 'nuff said - yum; we've lived through two millennia of pretty much continuous war in one way or another and we've finally chosen peace and, guess what, we're making it work and we're a better place for it. As lifestyle goes, all of that ain't too bad.
Don't get me wrong, I love the US, I really do - amazing people and amazing natural beauty. But don't talk about "lifestyle" cuz sure as hell it's not that much better over there than it is here.
You. Get your head out of your ass. And the word of god= atheistcide. Hahaha, the word of god probably converts more people to athesim. Seriously, read your own freaken book you scumbag. As of right now you are nothing more than another uninformed, arrogant, religious tard with an irrational hatred of atheism.
Pity the atheist, In his comfortable home, with his attractive wife, and his healthy children,
Pity the atheist, who when sick goes to a doctor instead of a crackpot, and gets real healthcare instead of useless mumbo jumbo recited at him... He will get well... pity him.
Pity the atheist, Who graduated from a respected university, and got a high paying job instead of dropping out of grade school and going on to flip burgers at mcdonalds.
Pity him.
How the hell is the "Word of God" "atheisticide"? Waving dogma around doesn't cow atheists, it makes us mad. If you wanted to compare dogma, scripture or "witnessing" to an insecticide it would analogous to using some sort of souped - up amphetamine plus growth hormone mixed with steroids straight out of pulp sci fi to wipe out bugs. If you sprayed it on the atheist “bugs” - instead of killing them they'd grow to Godzilla like proportions and start destroying tall buildings.
"They are the roaches of society"
Wait. That means that, when you fundies finally start a nuclear war, we'll be the ones that survive*. Eat it, suckers!
(*I am aware that roaches can't survive a nuclear blast. They're just more resilient to radiation than most other macroscopic lifeforms.)
Yeah, thats why I constantly help my neighbors in their time of need because they need help. Thats why I donate to charities and sometimes religious charities..I do no good, just like your "truthful" bible says. Im just a cockroach, until you need something to eat and I have an extra sandwich packed in my lunchbox everyday for just such an occasion. Then Im your best friend until your belly is full..then Im a cockroach as soon as my back is turned.
They are the roaches of society, wandering in the dark, scurrying away when the light come on.
Hey now. I know I could work harder on my tan, but this is just uncalled for.
Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Japan, France, Finalnd are all in the top 10. If that's indicative of what countries with a large Atheist contingent are like then you are pissing on your own camp fire buddy.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
