Every time I post or like anything that is scientific or athiest on facebook I get a tun of god crap on my news feed. I have one friend who posts god returning with a vengence. I have others that just post salvation crap and then those that just post the god loves you crap. I wish people could worry about their own souls and leave the salvation of my life up to me.

I wouldn't worry too much about it mate. Just ignore anything that doesn't agree with your own inner reason and logic :)
I do find it very frustrating how it seems more acceptable to post religious stuff than atheist stuff, especially when the atheist stuff is usually fully explained and backed up by reason and logic, while the religious stuff says "just have faith. Don't think.. obey!"
It's facebook.
But yeah, I do sympathize. Outside of my immediate family, my mother's family (who are all the beep over facebook) is quite religious.
Don't let it get to you, they're doing their best to "help" and they just don't know any better, frankly.
Facebook does seem to have gotten worse about things like this. I almost want to get away from it completely without being labeled anti-social.
Yeah, it's like once you close your facebook, people pretty much figure you died or something. It's not like I disconnected my phone or shut down my twitter account, lol.
Just be careful about who you friend and what you like on Facebook. I have two accounts, one for business and one for family and friends and I still think I need another one.
Almost every single post on my facebook feed mentions God somehow. I think I only have two friends who aren't religious, or at least pretend to be. There's this thing going around my friends where they pick their favorite bible verse and then challenge other friends to share theirs. I've been hoping nobody tags me because nobody knows I'm an atheist, and I don't think I could resist picking one of the most absurd verses I could.
I think I would go with Ezekiel 23:20 - "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."
or maybe Exodus 21:7,8 "If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. 8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed."
I was pushed to the point were i unfriend people i see posting religious stuff especially 'share this blah blah and god will give you money' utterly ridiculous.
About the waterfall. Supposedly god put effort into creating a world for us but does not want us to appreciate it? Lol
