I think reality is superior to fantasy. Superior to a fantasy creature and the book of fantasy written about it by man.

I eat ameba shit for breakfast and crap success. Advantage mine!

Well I'll tell them but I don't think they'll be very keen they've already got one you see.

Someone could tell anyone that, though I can't imagine why anyone would.

Your conclusion does not follow from your premise. Surely God would have other options than writing a book to pass on that information.

Tried what?

I don't think anyone designed it, so I obviously don't think it is superior to the one that designed it. That wouldn't make any sense.

Thanks, but I don't expect to be fighting any deities. I appreciate you wishing me luck fighting yours, though, very sporting of you.

I would have to be convinced that a being exists before I could have a genuine interest in what promises it's supposedly made.

Wherever you are or think you are, I've not the slightest interest in even looking into the matter, let alone proving anything about it.

No guarantee of success at what?

No advantage at what?

Demonstrably not.

(June 13, 2018 at 3:48 am)Haipule Wrote: Evolutionary crap without advantage?!

Something doesn't have to be advantageous to be true. It's not advantageous to me that Felicia Day is not secretly in love with me or Bill Gates doesn't plan to give me a million dollars, but I'm not going to believe that they are just because it would be advantageous if they were.

Hmm. So if that doesn't happen, then it's not true that something MUST be guaranteeing the success. Not even once, apparently, let alone repeatedly.

I promise.

I've read it twice cover to cover, some parts more than I can count. There are some good bits, but it's not something a reasonable and ethical person ought to base their life on unless they are prepared to ignore very large sections of it.

You know it’s bad when you’re being mocked by Drich.

No doubt. Judging by the OP, I would say H. should consider a bit more Indica and perhaps less Sativa in his diet.

Got to get a new one.  When I read that with Cosby's face I picture him complaining about his date's slurred speech.

Why would a god need to put his information in a book (made by humans - every bible I ever saw had the publisher's name at the front) this god can make a universe but can't manage a book without using humans to help out? Doesn't sound like anything worth worship to me

I dunno.

Some fantasy can be really great...
