The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report that states 26 percent of American teenage females (3.2 million) is infected with at least one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, herpes simplex virus, and trichomoniasis).Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said the study shows that “the national policy of promoting abstinence-only programs is a $1.5 billion failure, and teenage girls are paying the real price.”Thank you BTMFs.Peter Nuhn

Anyone with the ability to read between the lines can see the entire purpose is to denounce any program that takes funding from PP.
But, since you have such a high command of the English language, why don’t you tell us all why PP was even brought into the discussion about the study…?

Wow…what an extremely limited way to view life…
canada1989,
Please explain why you think this makes any sense.
It appears that you’re saying that atheists have set their lives up around the idea that nobody believes in a deity. In other words, you think that we think that the entire world is lying when they say God exists.
That is, in a word, ridiculous.
Atheism is the default position until someone provides evidence for the existence of a deity. If you have no evidence then all your criticisms of atheism will continue to fall flat.
The generic atheist does not believe no God exists. The generic atheist believes that the question “Does God exist?” is nonsense until someone defines “God” and “Exist.” If you want to provide definitions of those words, then we can start to debate the existence of your personal idea of God (which you share with nobody else on the planet).
There are atheists who believe that no God exists, but they make up a subset of the generic group of atheists. If you want to attack atheism in general, you have to attack the generic atheist.
You may not like his grammar, but unambiguous usage of words is more important than grammar. Since you used variations of the word “belief” 3 times in 1 sentence (using 2 very different definitions) you shouldn’t go around admonishing people for not communicating properly.
You’ve fallen victim to the equivocation fallacy. I suggest you avoid that in the future:

No, what you have done is given up your free will by blindly walking a well-worn path. Down this path you can expect to have both your ability to disagree and your ability to make moral judgments tempered. You will also be easily led by corrupt religious leaders.
That you seem proud of this fact leaves little doubt as to just how blind you are to ideas you disagree with. That you have shown a severe misunderstanding of atheism is evidence of how deeply you’ve been misled by your religious leaders.
Further, if the “truth” you speak of cannot be proven then you have no business calling it that. Can you prove your claims?
One last thing, would you please put some paragraph breaks in your posts?

Anyone who has had the experience of wading through your tendentious dreck whenever you comment here is very well aware of how your twisted occult sociopathic mind would ‘read between the lines’ to turn any statements made here into hypocritical lies to further your religiously insane agenda.
The fact that, once again, you provide absolutely no proof of your fantastical claims, while seeking to scourge others based on straw men of your own creation, says volumes more about you, and religiously insane idiots like you who twist religion into an abomination of itself to further your own enrichment. A growing number of people are rapidly realizing just how much you hurt the causes you say you promote by your bearing of false witness on their behalf.
Suck it, jeebus phreak!
Phreedm:
ok, I forget sometimes that I have to be specific or else you run away with things.
when I said that unwanted pregnancies and STD’s are the only reason to avoid premarital sex, I meant that:
STD’s and unwanted pregnancies are the only consequences of sex that have nothing to do with a person’s personal maturity and psychological capability to deal with an adult relationship.
If a person isn’t ready for sex, then that person shouldn’t have sex. STD’s and unwanted pregnancies, however, have nothing to do with whether or not a person is ready for sex. they are, therefore, the only universally applicable reasons to avoid sex before marriage
and of course I should add that I’m only talking about consequences that can be observed and verified in this world.
alatham;
Very nice job!!
alexatheist, twice I have tried to post on the comments of a certain critic of yours, one who talks about phallocymaster. But for some strange reason, the posts never appear. In your own interest, never respond to this guy.
