    "Society's rejection of morality and ethics leads to this."
    ah, so you have some predefined morality you want to shove down everyone's throat, nice.

    " Atheism leads to this. "
    have you even read the bible?

    " The culture of consent and contraception, "
    yes, force women to your will and make then have babies every year. You sure are a winner, pal.

    Protip: Even though belief and religions have been on the decline, there has been consistently less crime since the 70's.

    I'm sorry, did I interrupt you talking out of your ass?

    The poster is self deluded and pretty damn clueless about child behavior. In 20 years he will be posting about how his daughter made all the wrong decisions, but it's not his fault becasue he talked to her and told her everyone is just dickheads.

    " biggest threat to peoples privacy is government, period. "
    no.
      biggest threat to peoples privacy is large organizations with power. This can be Church, Government, Corporate entities.

    "Why can't I get new government identities as easily as I can get new Google accounts? "
    Seriously? Think about that for a bit. Hint: While you think about that, I could create dozens of IDs.

    " Why can't I ensure all the data EU governments have on me (all of them) is deleted by pressing a button?"
    Because records of what you do isn't your data. Plus, having good data results in better government decisions.

    And by 'short' you means over 60 years.

    Not really a problem.

    "Finally, there's no real need for a gaming platform more powerful than consoles any more."
    that's simply wrong.

    "What is needed now is for the console manufacturers to embrace modding,"
    so you are saying the need to be PCs. Really, what you are talking about is putting a PC in the living room for games. Something Valve has recently made a lot easier, BTW.

    "and I'm not interested in a console on those terms."
    so you aren't interested in any console on the market right now?

    No, it is not a religion. AS has been explained quite well, many times.
    Believers need t prove the existence. Saying there is X, and and no one can prove it is crazy.
    Not believing there are purple dragons on the moon is not a religion.
    The word 'atheism' comes from the Greek word atheos, meaning godless. Atheos is derived from a, meaning "without," and theos, meaning "deity"."

    Atheism is the word for not having a religion. By DEFINITION it is not a religion. Please learn logic.
