I use critical thinking.

Given that I don't plan on dying anytime soon, try making this argument when I'm on my deathbed.

Well any way all I was saying is there is absolutly nothing that would stop me from believing in God.

I don't understand how trying to live a moral and non sinning life is bad.

And that's why talking to people like you is futile. You don't just think you're right, you know you're right and nothing can sway you from it.

It's the antithesis to intellectual honesty.

That's nice, but you know we're not actually here to convince anyone there's no God. Most of us aren't convinced there's no God ourselves. We just think the probability is low. However, good on you for being open to evidence.

Living a moral life and believing in God are not synonymous.

It's not like we expected you to. We just wish you'd try to discuss things with even a modicum of intellectual honesty or accumen. I suppose that expectation was too high as well.

Yet you start engaging in debates with people on that very subject?

I guess the MO is thus pontificating then, no?

Why are you here, then?

Too complicated an idea for bible-thumpers. They need water added to the sand so some fucking 'god' can play in the mud.
