LOL, she's got her own setup now (Tibs squared it away), hoping to get her on board when she gets the chance. She's currently busy herding cats, whereas I'm running out of useful things to do and money to do them with.
Soo......fucking....bored.

Ok, you "disagree" so you mean you think I'm lying? Can you state where in catholic doctrine it says that atheists are angry at God?
I guess you can continue to tell me I'm wrong when I tell you the impression I had that many atheists don't like the idea of a god (whether correct or not) came from this forum. Not from anything I learned in the Church.

I was raised RC. But it doesn't have to be stated in dogma or teachings. Our culture pushes that idea into people.
I didn't say you were lying. Just blind to the effects of your religion.

Speak for yourself then. Maybe you had a different experience but MY "culture" didn't push any idea about ahteists being angry at God. We didn't sit around talking about atheists, and the reason I joined this forum to begin with was because I didn't know much about them.

American culture pushes that idea.

No?
Quote:Sura 20, The Quran:
( 69 ) And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."
This was from the story of Moses's confrontation with the magicians of the Pharaoh. The difference between him and them; was they were doing "magic" which is mere tricks; while Moses's stuff were the real deal.
Not magic; but a staff that turns into a snake. Only non-believers and ignorant people would say that is a "magical trick".
Through this verse; I can say that magic and trick are parallels in the Quran, unlike what many say.

So, you do believe in magic, then. You just don't like it when people call it magic... because you think that sounds stupid.
Yeah, I know exactly how you feel.

I believe in the metaphorical magic: stuff like "you were bewitched by the shiny offer given in the mall to sell you stuff..."
But not like "my staff will turn into a snake ! and my shout will tear down missiles in the air"
