Quoting others does not confer wisdom, neither does it imply comprehension.

I don't believe in God. I believe God is a tool used by humans in power to manipulate and control people for thousands of years. I don't think religion is inherently bad just that it can be used to do lots of harm or lots of good in the world. Some people need religion to deal with what life has brought them and others chose other ways to deal with life. No way is better or worse than the other it is just a matter of preference.

That would be religion, rather than a "god" not believed in however, I would agree that religions have been used as such tools throughout history.

Some ways are "worse" than others, as far as relying upon superstition and irrationality go, (as opposed to not doing so).

Rarely do I encounter someone so "intelligent" they feel the need to correct those who disagree with them AND those who do not.

If you had my posts on "ignore", you wouldn't encounter them at all.  Unfortunately, such passive-aggressiveness as yours in not rare; were that it was.

Such false condecension and an inability to debate a contended point aren't just "pitiful"; they're disappointing tactics.

No doubt the fundie complimented me - in a backhanded sort of way.

Happy Easter to our Christian friends
Happy Passover to our Jewish friends
To Atheist friends, Good Luck!
I was lying in bed the other night, looking up at the stars, and thinking, "Where in the heck is my roof?"

Are you sure you have atheist friends or, do you just believe that you do?

Ok here is my 2 cents even though I really believe that religion and politics should not be discussed because no 2 will ever agree on samething..lol

How does anyone know whether there is a GOD OR NOT.  Last time I checked no one has died and cameback to tell us.  So why not just drop it and move on unless you have a story of how you you have met or not met god in person.

Those who claim there is can either support their claim with evidence or, resort to blind faith.  Those who claim there isn't would have a more difficult time providing evidence that something _doesn't_ exist.  Therefore, the default is, (sans evidence to substantiate a positive assertion/claim), something doesn't exist if there is no evidence of its existence.


Last time I checked no one has died and cameback to tell us. 



So far, no one has, (although Houdini promised he would, he copped-out ... which means that eitehr he couldn't manage that last trick or, that there wasn't anything to 'come back' from).


So why not just drop it and move on unless you have a story of how you you have met or not met god in person.


It would be dropped were it not for religionists making false claims, (unsupported ones), about "talking to god" a attributions claiming "god" as a cause for various effects.
