Thanks for the info. For a moment, there, I thought I wasn't giving a shit about only one thing.

Nope. I can say that's never been the case...and how would I go about having any type of emotion toward something that's clearly not there?

Really? I thought god in concept is first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning. (that's for those of us who are still soldiering on in that OTHER thread.)

Nope. I distribute my ridicule equally between the two.

If you're wondering how ridiculous religion seems to an irrelegious atheist, it goes something like this:

It's only been 5 hours since posting but I feel we have another bible dump and run.

Your problem is with religion not God.

That sounds like special pleading. Wanting to separate the god of your religion from the gods of other religions. Judaism/Islam/Christianity is as much of a religion as everything else. There's no more evidence for your god as any other. You can't claim your god is good, when the actions spoken about in the bible clearly show he isn't.

The only information we have on your god is a book. The contents of the book are not reassuring.

I agree. I've only been here a few months, but this place is great!

It not only hurts to read. Typing it wasn't all that great either. Smile
