Christians are agnostics since their Bible states noone can know God, as opposed to what the heretic gnostics taught.
Atheists do not need to "disbelieve" in your particular god any more than you need to "disbelieve" Odin. Just like I don't need to "discollect" stamps if that's not my hobby.
So you are saying Vishnu does not exist? If you have no problems not beliving in the Hindu gods, why do you have a problem understanding that people do not believe your particular gods exist?
No, there is not such "evidence" other than in self-referencing pseudoscience practiced by believers. And since Al Gore never claimed he created the internet you seem deluded on multiple arenas at the same time.
What "fantasy of atheism"? There is no story to be called a fantasy there, the total lack of such stories is actually one of its defining characteristics.
Do you put two silver coins in the casket when burying someone out of fear there is even a slight chance he will have to pay Charon to be ferried across the Styx?
Pascal's Wager lost some of its teeth after we got searh-and-replace.
But which of them? Brahman the creator? Vishnu the preserver? Shiva the destroyer? Was Ymir, father of the ice giants, involved?
I guess noone ever wins the lottery either.
It is cute when creationists row around terms from physics without ever understanding them, just to defend their desert fairytale anthromorpizations of nature. Heck, even sun gods make modre sense than the monotheistic power structures constructed by the "big three"...
I am not, I am using a simile: that you have this reaction means you have failed to understand what I wrote, or your emotions override your ability to debate. Why the FUCK is it OK for someone to abuse speech to the point where someone for instance kills themselves over it? There are sex crimes, and there are hate speech crimes. Accept that the latter exist, even though you have never been subjected to them. Heck, you need not go furer back than the 1970s to find rape cases where the victim was practically treated as the "alluring" guilty party, thankfully we have moved away from such absurd defenses of the man's self-appionted "right to fuck"...
Well, leaving a discussion is also a way of excercising rights I guess. There are sex crimes and there are hate speech crimes, why not accept the latter as well as the former? People have taken their lives as consequences of both.
The same way I feel about Toys'R'Us not selling Penthouse: It's their business, their rules, free speech rights are connected with Governments not businesses.
Censor, or merely block? Hey, maybe I could call it censorship when various YouTube channels are blocked in my country becuse of evil "distribution rights"?
I would respect free speech advocates more if they suggested these "knights" of their cause put their masterpieces on their CV for all potential employers to see. "Made Facebook page mockig dead teenager" is bound to score you a major carreer any day now... After all it shows that you care about free speech.
It's no more restriction of speech than laws against rape are a restriction of sexual freedom. Unless you are a free speech absolutist with no compassion who ignores that speech can have consequences.
They believe in their Android strategy, which is to provide one more channel for search, services and ads. iOS is also one of these channels. Yes, there are branded Google hardware but they remain a software services company.
Nah, the thousands that used Sinclair ZX-81, Atari 400 or 600, Tandy TRS-80 or SpectraVideo... the early one with such a keyboard... can flex treir skills again:)

Atheism is a religion the same way not driving is a brand of car...
Look, a Christian has no problems not beliving in Odin. We do not call such people "anorse".
Does The Lord of the Rings prove the existence of Sauron?
How does this enforcement take place? A giant finger descending from the sky and squishing the evildoer?
It seems to me enforcement is left to other humans... All the time. So the external God is non-essential.
Religious people, as a counterbalance, also seem to die earlier through religious wars and trusting prayer over medicine, though... :)

If you "know" God you are a Gnostic and thus a heretic since the Bible states that no man can know God. Now please climb onto that pyre over there...
Citation needed. A strawman erected by those he debate against as far as I can tell.

No, the punishment for killing a fetus was left to the husband;. Only if the woman was further injured did eye for an eye come into play.
But which of them?
Brahman the creator? Vishnu the preserver? Shiva the destroyer?

No, it is limited blocking, not censorship: the group can post but the post does not reach everyone.

So you think The Pirate Bay is not subject to U.S. copyright laws? There are a few industry giants who disagree with you there...

I thought Modern UI/WinRT only used HTML 5 and WinJS? Not much use for your C# code other than server-side then...

Yeah, I found it funny that iOS had encrypted ActiveSync before Microsoft's own phone OS.
