Welcome

I have some unusual ideas too. The only reason I haven't had my ass handed to me is because I keep it covered. Wink

I do too. It's called the human imagination.

Let's see just how crazy you are first then, maybe, it will be worth seeing if you have anything interesting to say.

How do I know you're not crazy? Do you have a statistic on the beliefs of psychotics? :wink-shades:

Tip to talking to a Spiritual person:
1.Don't call them mentally ill
2.Don't use ad-hominem
3.Arrogance is discouraged
4.Mockery makes you look like a donkey
5.Don't miss-quote them

I'm not the one claiming [ABSOLUTE] knowledge. :roflol::roflol:

I don't speak for all atheists here, but I imagine you won't be received as the middleman. Believing in a "Higher Power" places you squarely in the "I believe in something without evidence" category. But this isn't to say you won't be well received. Again I say :welcome:


There is plenty of evidence for Higher Powers than humans. The Big Bang, the sun, black holes, volcanoes, hurricanes, etc.

Thanks for the welcome. I hope so.

I'm not so sure about that.
Thanks to all the welcomes. This is going to be awesome.

Oh yeah, in that case. Those things -are- highly powerful. Or like horses...or my uncle. You should see this dude. So ripped. His noogie power is so much higher than my noogie defense power. I stand corrected. Big Grin

The sun, black holes, hurricanes, volcanoes? We know what causes those. No higher power needed.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
