No I don't, I can tell you (incase if you did not get the memo) that I am in a process of change. As I told mangxema, I would appreciate it that you don't drag up old posts that are irrelevant to me.
We Need an Atheist Symbol!

I think the Jesus fish with wings and "Dawkins" or "Sagan" in the middle would be better.
I am intolerant atheist only againist intolerant non-atheists. If they are intolerant againist innocents and their arguments will be estalbished only on some "holy" book without facts, there no way to be tolerant to unlogical intolerancy.
I havent need to say people that they cant believe. Problem is that only talking about something which isnt according Bible, are offensive for such people as you .
Sorry for English.

That said, I see no more need for a symbol of atheism than for a symbol for us not believing in the Easter Bunny.

Atheists who don't frequent the OT.
People come here to fight someone; If you want to find a peaceful Atheist, then look around All Other Games, not Off Topic.
Oh yeah:
You know who you are.

Can you link to some examples? I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just curious what sort of thing you mean. Is this in the context of a debate, or just when you randomly mention God? (I mean, if someone said "X is wrong because God says so", it's fair game to question the existence of God, but if you just talked about your religion more generally, it wouldn't be.)

Intolerant? You mean the atheist posters here are crying for your banning and telling you to shut up? Or is arguing vehemently against your view intolerant? That's called debate, and its what a forum, especially this OT one, is for. It seems like its you who cant tolerate others peoples views. No one is arrogant and bold by saying there is no god, they're saying what they believe. Deal with it, not everyone thinks like you.
And you were shouting GOD IS FACT earlier as well, thats very bold and very arrogant. Blanket statements in CAPS with several !!!!! marks. Understand that this is your belief, and you are free to hold it and present it, just like everyone else is free to do so with theirs.

To you there is, to the atheist there isn't, and here in a forum you are both free to tell eachother what you believe, and even better, discuss why. If you feel threatened when your view is questioned, then its you who has to work on your beliefs, because if you were confident in them, you wouldn't feel so untrusting and wavering.

Learn not to take offense so personally. If you don't believe its a fairytale, more power to you, and don't bother that other people do. And uh huh, gays and minorities ought to bow down and let a certain group of people lord over the whole society as they like it. Yup, just remember, when that christian couple gets divorced, its because Jack and John got married up there in Canada!
And how hypocritical to trumpet keeping your god and bible out of the closet and then saying gays ought to remain. Such a selfish hypocritical viewpoint.
Anyways, no one is attacking you but yourself. Hope you realize that one day.
***And to stay on topic, i agree that this whole symbol for atheism is nonsense. Unless you guys all want to be a bunch of tom cruises that is.

If you feel that I have ever expressed intolerance or disrespect for your religion then I apologise.
However, it would also be appreciated if you could point out to me where I am being intolerant, so that I can avoid doing it again in the future.
Just a thought, but if you are currently reevaluating your beliefs and opinions, it might be a good idea to stop writing posts with such absolute statements and answers that some posters just quoted.
Then your posts might seem a lot more consistent when taken together and people will get a better understanding of what you mean.

how about the atheist symbol is a picture of a empty souless guy whos afraid of god and thinks that he knows everything.

Atheists don't fear God, aren't empty and don't think they know everything!
And sometimes they are girls too!
Some atheists do all of the above. A larger number do one or more. But not all do all.
See, it's hard to have a symbol for a group so large and diverse in its views. Remember, not all Christians use the cross as a symbol.

I don't know about that, People might think Atheists are people who have had their brains removed.
See, this is more funny after bigdog's comments!

I did some careful consideration on those views and I have found myself in the wrong on those issues.

I was gonna to, but you beat me. In post #127, so it's not as if it seems to be very well known...
But then the thread seems to have spiraled down into a hole concerning whether gays/CivGeneral/Atheists/Tom Cruise should stay in the closet.
BTW, I don't believe in the Easter Bunny...

I have seen some places with a siloate of a person with a siloet of a brain as a symbol for atheism.
SS-18 ICBM
Oscillator
Since i'm going to be an atheist, i suggest for a symbol a representation of a cell. It's scientific, materialist, and shows that god doesn't exist, but we do. Or something scientific, such as an atom. Or a brain.
someone here should calm down

How do cells show that God doesnt exist? Just curious.
