…who are rapidly doing away for the need for all that superstitious stuff contained in the various bullshit religion books as well as the need to follow that god delusion inside the imaginations of human beings.This is the first photograph of a black hole and its fiery halo, released by Event Horizon Telescope astronomers. It is the “most direct proof of their existence,” one of the project's lead scientists told Agence France-Presse. — European Southern Observatory/Agence France-Presse/Getty Images.(click on the photograph to open an entire page of links to stories about the Black Hole which has just been photographed by scientists)

That's actually one of the plug-holes to God's area. Really? Do explain.

He posted a form of sarcasm.
I presume people who think the god delusion inside their imagination is a real god don't have the independent-thinking intellectual capacity to “get it!”

String theory? As I recall you're pretty dismissive Trickles! It seems your faith in objective science - which I share minus the arrogant religion-bashing trolling - is more selective than you're prepared to admit.

No, not really, as KTJ noted, my post was a quip about those with the God delusion I only ask two things of you paleo-atheist ilk 1. Premises that are more plausible than their negations 2. Conclusions that logically follow from the premises. You can supply neither, yet you label my kind the ones with the 'delusion '

Yep ... not only are they dumb enough to believe that the god delusion in their imagination is a real god, but when they die and get permanently extinguished, they won't even know how deluded they were throughout their life.

To be sure the only sure thing for an afterlife is through the children living on into the future, something religiosity should consider with climate change, rather make profit on the here and now at the expense of the future.

Series 2 of Star Trek - Discovery has the starship Discovery end the final episode by disappearing into a very distant future. Will the crew turn up again in their 23rd century "present" to tell us about the future a millennium hence? We'll have to hang around for a couple of hundred years to find out!!

Well.... Soviet Russia once tried a godless regime, free from religion. As did Cambodia, and China. The current track record doesn't look as fortuitous as you predict, if history is any indication. Voltaire thought religion would be dead in 200 years... We're still waiting.. Btw: Religion and care for the environment are not mutually exclusive concepts.

Unsurprising the bible would have chauvinistic superiority issues towards non believers calling them no good....religion and the bible after all thought it quite OK to enslave non believers...indeed its quite OK to kill the infidel.

You have quite a skewed view of history Ponto, have you taken an objective view on what the non-believers were doing at that same time?

Historically non believer's, (or those of a different faith like goat legged pagans....nice people that they are) and being enslaved by bible followers no doubt then non biblical believers were doing what they were told and calling believers a pack of nasty minded mongrel's to others. And when you shed the light on things all that mongrel name calling brought about enlightenment over emancipation....coz like Christians are meek and have feelings.

I hate to burst your bubble Ponto, but slavery was rampant in those days and was not exclusive to the realm of the religious.

True Occo...but exclusive to those that believed in God's...never heard of a atheist keeping slaves...maybe there was...in the end its about the future and the future survival are the children as its via the children where the human race lives on through, that is the certainty for afterlife.
Although there is more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on earth there is finite number of atoms in all of the universe....and when we die the atoms that make us return to the universe....no heavenly universe where spirits live for eternity as a singular being....we are all part of the known universe....and our survival where in the universe there is no other planet like earth its vital to protect this planet.
Gambling on the unknown is foolish....as is killing the planet.

"Never heard of an atheist keeping slaves"
Mate during the Roman Empire slavery had the same economic importance that fossil fuels have today. Just about any human endeavour leading to the production and distribution of goods and services ran on muscle power - human muscles, much more than wind or beasts of burden. The agency that procured and delivered a constant supply of slaves was the Roman legions. The model was pretty straightforward: the legions would conquer new territory, dispossess and enslave the locals and colonise it with Roman veterans. Basically you could say the Roman legions were the ancient equivalent of Caltex and BP. Which brings me to the next point: atheism. Trust me, atheism is nothing new. Atheism is not an invention of the late 20th century. There have always been people who dispute the existence of the Divine. That includes the ancient world. There were atheists in ancient Rome. And they would have owned slaves too.
