Sorry, Rob, ill make it short this time.
Religion draws desperate people by well polished ideas of love. "Love your close one and your God. We can do it together. Or do you wish to live like an animal? Shame on you". Many by in to such idealistic and utopian ideas.

Your happiness is more important than our acceptance. BTW, I accept your rationalizations/justifications.
He hasn't come in here telling us we will go to hell if we don't believe Fido died for us because he loves us and wants us to believe in him. And that makes the difference between a coping strategy and a nutty religion.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I never have a clue what that guy is talking about. I think he just posts conversations that he is having with the voices in his head.

Sorry I was just communicating telepathically with Purplepurpose.
I know...but didn't you even consider the fact that egg plants have been around for hundreds of years? People love to always grant wishes to pigs. It's just the way humans "engage spiritually" when it comes to mustard seed, and farm animals. No one seems to think of this.
