A balm?! What are you giving him a balm for? It might bite him!

What a brilliant line - I mean, afterall, if they don't I can't imagine them kicking up too much of a fuss.
Nah, it's a mistranslation; "The Mekon shall inherit the Earth."
Jesus was prophesying Dan Dare.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's a soothing platitude for the ignorant masses, but in fact it makes no sense.
To inherit something upon the passing away of others. This would necessitate a point in which all of the "un-meek" die. Which is not something found in the story. Secondly, "meekness" is a relative descriptor, after the passing of the previous "un-meek", the less-meek then become the "un-meek" and therefore must will the earth to the less strong willed, until you finally end up giving the earth to a little redhead kid named Vern.

It's generally accepted that the name is pronounced and spelt "Yahweh." Don't be a douche.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

But you knew what the fuck I meant. Doesn't matter if you call your god Yahweh or not, other people do.
Quote:I also don't think Pascal's wager is a good proof for God's existence nor have I ever said so. Don't you people know how to use reason? You assume so much about what I clearly post, and add those assumption to my posts.
When you post a link to 20 "proofs" of God's existence which includes Pascal's Wager and you don't make any kind of comment on those arguments, then it looks like you're using Pascal's Wager as one of your arguments. What are we supposed to think? Maybe next time say something like "I agree with these except for Pascal's Wager."
Again, don't be a douche. If you post something like that without comment, of course we're going to think that those are the arguments you're making.
Regardless of whether or not you think that PW is a valid argument or not, you posted a link with 19 other lame, fallacious arguments which are no better than PW anyway. So even if you don't claim PW as a valid argument for God's existence, are we to assume that you agree with the other 19? If not, then why post that link at all if not for ridicule?
