They are the same 10 commandments for Jewish people, Christians, Catholics and Muslims.

Typical apologist.

You mean stating facts? Yes that's us.

Oh yes, 93% of the world is delusional. You and the Buddhist atheists are the only sane ones left.

It is an incorrect usage of reason to assume that a popularly believed concept is in any way factual or associated with knowledge.

Not anything I am willing to share, but abuse combined with some very horrifying suffering from an illness that went on for many, many years of my life. All I can say is, the pain is happening to us, Wouldn't you rather have an explanation for it and knowledge of a better life to come than to just think this all happened to you for no reason and then you die and go nowhere? What God revealed to me is that I am suffering for what I have done over a thousand lifetimes, all in just this one life, because it was the way my soul chose to suffer it. I think you have a revelation coming, and when it comes, the understanding will bring you peace. And you do have a wife. So don't ever think that you don't.

Until there's proof of some divine plan - and I mean proof, not God in the Gaps wankery - then there's no reason for me to believe such a thing exists.

All indications are that we live in an impersonal, amoral universe.  Wishcasting won't change that.

Also, I predict we will have some additional compelling evidence of either God or the existence of our soul, within 5-10 years

Delusional prophetism.

And the other 99% stand there and cheer them on.



Those rocks don't throw themselves, you know.

Stop feeding the scavengers, people! They carry diseases!

Don't worry.  My fingers are wearing condoms and my mind is protected by atheism.

But those who do don't all believe in the same god or how to worship the ones they DO share a belief in.

Doesn't matter. The religions are similiar enough.

Similar enough for you and your purposes under your interpretations, but not similar enough for them and their purposes under their interpretations. Many of them likely find your grabby inclusion of them under your umbrella repugnant and abhorrent.

I'm not worried. I hear you can cure yourself of venial diseases by fucking a virgin. Can do it on a weekend. Won't even have to miss football.
