Oh I got it, all 7 billion humans have to be inventors is that it? 

You are stupidly trying to change to the topic and make it about me. No, this thread is about how atheists have to coddle bad claims based on old mythology. 

You don't have a damned lick of evidence for the God you believe in, and I am sure that frustrates you, but again, that is your baggage, not mine.

Successful heart transplant.

You?

I'm not talking about what other people have achieved.

A poet, that sounds good. You don't hear of too many poets today. Have you written any poems which have been publicized or put into music?
Which one was the most successful, or didn't anyone read it?

Most poets don't become famous until after their death. 

But none of this asinine response on your part furthers your argument that an invisible sky wizard is our ultimate factory boss. So this is just you pissing in the wind.

FYI, I didn't stick with poetry to get rich or famous. But I am no failure if that is what you are trying to imply. 

The difference between a poet and an apologist is that we admit what we write is art. Just like an honest stage act like Penn and Teller admit what they are doing is an act. 

I don't write poetry to start a religion, or con people. I write it merely to get people to think. Holy books don't promote thinking, they tell people what to think.

No, I think that writing poetry is a skill that isn't encouraged in the education system, and just because your poetry isn't published doesn't make it worthless at all.

So is your poetry an assembly of words with intent, thought, feeling, appeal, or is it just the way the fridgemagnets happen to fall on the floor?

Have you got anything to show for your intelligence and skills? I'm sure you do.

 You are still not getting it DUMBASS!

My cat can figure out where it's food bowl is even when I  move it to a different place. My last dog was fucking Houdini and escaped my fenced in back yard no matter how I tried to fortify it.



Octopus are intelligent too.

I'm not trying to compare the intelligence of humans to animals, I'm wondering if you are capable of producing something which involves design, planning, intelligence etc.
Don't be shy.

Should I believe that you are unable to be creative, and that you have nothing to show for your intelligence?
That your life is one of being spoon fed?

I don't want to believe that you have never done anything creative.

I would say at this point Brian creates poetry, that poetry will outlive you and me Banned. It is easily proven that Brian created the poems and should be proud of his achievements.
Your God on the other hand......
