Yes, I believe that the Bible is the Word of God. We have a *lot* of "translation issues" with it, but it affects no major doctrine.

That's the problem, johny, you don't believe in God because you chose to, you were forced in it 
I was raised without this crap, and by objectively looking at a lot of religions, I decided, they're crap. So I've always been atheist. But I think this new idea of a religion based on what is real is a really good idea. So know I believe in Realism 
Same here.
I was raised without any religion background. My parents did not force me to get one either. They only taught me moral.
I bet your parents taught you so, like stealing is bad, and so on.

You are trying to make people believe in what you think, its just the same as what people think already... You can't force people into decisions, they have their own beliefs, this is your belief, so what you're saying is completely stupid and judgemental...
This whole belief in what is real is pretty stupid, to me, you're coming across as one of those people in cults who do stuff like mass suicide, its just one big joke in my opinion, just leave people to believe what they believe, if they wanted to believe in this realism thing, then I'm sure religion would have been dead a while back, but no, its the way people live, leave it as that okay...
Yes, I think the whole idea of this thread is just an advertisement.
For me, the Church of Reality just wants to unite all atheists in the world into one "religion."
And maybe some atheists still might not like the idea of it.
If you read an article in the site that PlusFan gave us, you'll notice that these people somewhat believe the existence of God, but they want to see it with their own eyes.
I don't mean to offend these people, but they are weak.
If you really don't believe that God exists, say it.
A
real atheist once said that even if he saw the empty tomb of his own eyes, he would
never believe the existence of God.
What I comprehend from CoR's stand is that they will believe the existence of God if God shows Himself.
