Atheism is unreasonable

[His_Majesty]

I have just about given up on this guy, so I'm going in, psychoanalyst style!
He refuses to acknowledge real science while claiming his view is the real one... how about we try to find out why that is?

"Real science" is supposed to be based on observation and repeated experiment...yet you believe in a theory that is unobserved, and can't be experimentally validated...and I am the one who refuses to acknowledge real science?

I think it's time for some real answers from His Majesty.

Lets do it.

1. According to your posting timestamps and mastery of the english language, I'd say you're living in the United States. Is that correct? Are you from the place generally called "the bible belt"? The US South? Where?

Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. Army veteran of 6 years. Married. One son. Currently residing in Phoenix, AZ.

2. Did you grow up in a city, town... village? (do you guys have villages in the US?)

East side, Detroit.

3. How religious are your parents? How religious were your parents/caregivers during your younger years, say, up to 13yo?

My parent's weren't "religious", but my family (in general) all believed in God. Some were more religious than others. I credit my Christian foundation to my big cousin, "Delnora" (Dell). Me and her son (my cousin), were very close as youngers and when I used to spend nights over there, the place was always booming with children's Christian music, children's Christian books...she was always in to the Word, and she was always willing to talk to me about God...I was like 10, and she was speaking to me as if I was an adult because of my mature level with the Word. The whole house was like a holy safe haven. Fond memories.

I am saying that to say that those experiences over her house helped set my entire Christian foundation, and for that I am thankful to her for.

4. How was your formal education up to that age? Public school? public school in a creationist town with creationist bias? Home school? private creationist school?

Of my 12 years in school, two of them were in a private Christian school. The rest was in Detroit Public Schoos (DPS).

5. Back home, did you go to church every Sunday? Did you go there more than every Sunday?

I was raised as a Seventh Day Adventist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh-day...ist_Church, and as a SDA, we actually went to church on Saturdays, which was considered the "Sabbath Day". That was as a child...as I got older and matured I took an issue with a few scriptural/doctrinal teachings by the SDA church...but I still love'em.

6. What denomination of churches did you go to, while growing up?

First SDA, then Word Faith http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_Faith

Right now I guess you can call me a "free agent", not affilliated with any particular denomination. Right now, my main focus is apologetics.

7. How religious would you say your friends were at that age?

I wouldn't say I had any "religious" friends, or at least from what I could tell. I mean, a lot of times the subject of religion is the least thing on most kids minds from the ages of 10-16'ish...the only thing that was on our minds was music, money, girls, sports, cartoons...and not in that particular order.

As an adult, I don't have any friends...but even the aquaintances that I do have, religion isn't a subject that comes up much...but it is good to know that if it does come up...I will be ready

8. You said somewhere that you're african-american. How do you perceive your society's acceptance of your race (or variety, if you prefer)?

I've never experienced nor seen anyone of African American descent be discriminated against or treated differently because of our race...I've never (from what I can tell) experienced racism, nor have I ever seen (from what I can tell) racism in action.

So from my view, society has accepted my race well. I've had a few caucasion women have crushes on me before I've had many different friends with people of different races...I love and embrace diversity.

(do note I said "your society", not society at large... I mean your local personal interaction with everyone else there)

I live in Phoenix, AZ where it seems as if the whites and blacks are the minority (which is saying a lot). I am a lovable guy out here, to answer the question
