If you're looking for justification in your faith in the propriety of an athletic department, you're doing it wrong OP.

So if I said, "let me introduce you to my friend. You can't see, smell, hear, feel, or taste him, but I assure you, he is there. Let me also read you this book I swear he wrote that has all this crazy stuff that happened but I have no proof of it happening and I want you to believe all of it after I read it to you." You would tell me to frick off and think I was some crazy nut job.
I'm not saying there is no possibility of a higher being that may have knowingly or unknowingly set our universe into motion. I'm agnostic not atheist. I'm simply saying that there is no religion that has it right and that all religions are complete bullshite.
Let's say for the sake of argument that their is a god. A being of absolute power who magically created all existence. Do you really think human intellect could ever comprehend what a being of that magnitude expected of us? It would be like explaining to an ant why you don't want it to bite you. It just ain't going to understand your reasoning.
Panspermia is not a far fetched idea at all. If you honestly believe we are alone in the universe then you really are nieve. I would suggest you look into the Drake Equation for further research on the likelihood that we are alone. It's pretty much a mathematical impossibility at this point. As it appears now, pretty much every star has multiple planets orbiting it. Planets inside what is known as "the Goldilocks Zone" (the area around a star where a planet could orbit and be of the correct temperature to have liquid water, thus possibly life as we know it) is far more common than we ever imagined. There are several hundred billion stars in our galaxy alone and our galaxy is one of several hundred billion known galaxies. You see where the math is going on this yet? The latest Drake Equation numbers put our galaxy alone to contain anywhere from 10,000 to 10,000,000 intelligent lifeforms.

This post proves his point. His point is that some atheists are pretty damn intolerant of religious people and their ideals.
I don't give a shite what someone wants to believe. They can believe whatever crazy thing they choose to. What they can't do is expect others to believe the same thing they do and try to make laws based on their beliefs to govern how others live their lives.
This is the problem with religious people. They can spout off how they think people who don't believe are just bad people or that they have "the devil in them" and that's fine, but when you call them out on their beliefs with evidence to contradict it, you are being a a-hole to them.

This is a terrible post. Stop helping the needy because of religious hypocrisy?

Really? Besides a fringe few, give me an example. Ninety nine percent of the atheist I know have a very "live and let live" attitude. I certainly don't see any laws being made where atheist are forcing their beliefs on others.
Banking money that you are about to bring up prayer in school.

Your post actually articulates the wonder of Christianity.
Christians sin every day.
It's the basis of our entire religion: We're weak and need a Savior.
For reasons I'll never fully understand, we have One.

And most of us non religious folks have no problem with this kind of attitude. If it makes you feel better to believe in a "savior" and all that, great. That's wonderful. Whatever it takes to make you a better human being, but it is not required to believe in that for someone to be a good person.
