What, for the 7654674681314687867231th time? We're sick of refuting your silly little unevidenced assertion.

And in fact, not too long ago you refuted it yourself, by pointing out that the base building blocks of the quinque viae are by themselves worthless.

How many people have actually already done that in this thread, and we're still hearing this bullshit about nobody doing so? It can be ignored or pooh-poohed but not both.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

referring to a source other then yourself does not mean one has not thought about what one has read . So that's a BS assertion

Also he commented on each so he was clearly thinking about it

How could 'god' allow that to happen to one of his most deluded.... um devoted, followers?

Some fucking god.

I simply was not impressed with the minimal effort, lack of rigor, and easy acceptance of such weak objections in addition to...hell, what's the point. It's not like any of you really care. PM me if you really feel like having a serious discussion.

1. Were not here to impress you

2. That does not refute my point

3. Maybe he's not impressed with you and regards you worthy of a wiki page . (can't say I blame him)

For the record, I lean pretty far into apatheism. God, or the lack of one, doesn't impact my day-to-day life outside of hanging out here. I honestly just don't care very much.

Can't speak for the others, of course.
