Hey asshole.  Either your silly god is real or it isn't.  If it is, produce evidence of it.  If it isn't, fuck the two of you.

Sure, but they also claim it because they believe what it says about "natural science knowledge".  

You;ve got alot to say about their motives, but their motives are irrelevant to your previous statements and any point of contention between us, or between your previous statements and facts.

Yes, magic book explicitly purports to contain a great deal of "natural science knowledge".  The trouble...is that it doesn't actually contain an ounce of it.  It;s claims are demonstrably false...and it is upon the backs of those claims that any comment on the subject of morality as conceived by the religious are justified.
I see that you are reffering to free will , but some morals still remain without the free will , for example not to kill another person.

Where...above...do you see -anything- about free will?  I'm simply correcting a misapprehension you have about what's in magic book.  The notion that it exclusively concerns itself with morality.  It manages to prove your misapprehension inarguably wrong in the first three words and makes many....many claims from there.  

Now, they could certainly excise those claims and in doing so absolve themselves of any scrutiny that might follow from making them...but if they did, they would no longer have a justification for the claims that interest you, the claims that you think are the only sorts of claims in magic book.

I wasn't having that conversation with you now was I? I was having that conversation with GS and I've quoted everything above look at it.

You know discussion forums don't work that way.

No, it isn't a thought exercise. Add that term to the list of phrases you don't understand. 

You might also want to re-check whatever Bible you're using for evidentiary claims.

What's so surprising? I already said in the beginning itself I'm not actually going to use this argument in normal conversations, just against rude people. Look in the previous pages I asked someone to respond without an appeal to emotion just logically to see if it was possible to counter.

Could be possible but I was trying to help the OP make himself clear . I don't think that the bible is ment to give scientifical knowledge because it s like giving a machinegun to a baby.
