He is not fun. He's one of the most boring trolls to crawl out from under his bridge.

Perhaps my standards have sunk significantly over the past year. 😬

You think a smurf is a god?

You think werewolves, vampires, gnomes and dragons are gods?

What the fuck???
You accept that quetxalcoatl might be real. Are you sure? Or do you merely believe quetxalcoatl might be real? Which is it?

As I wrote earlier...anything that has not been established as impossible...is possible.

So...unless that entity has been established as impossible...it is possible.

Do you have reading disabilities? Because I didn't say they were gods.
I have no reading disabilities. I NEVER said that you said there were gods.

I wish to express my concern about the anti-Smurf tone this thread has taken.

Yes you did.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

You would have done better to put the period after the word "YES" in that sentence. I would have been correct.

As it is, however,    you are wrong.

Please point out where I said that you said there were gods.

And how would I do that to a person who has reading disabilities?

You could have just answered my question but you just go with your bullshit.

I will reiterate: there are plenty of imaginative concepts at our disposal for which we never attribute the I don't know variable toward their existence. We confidently understand those things do not exist despite the lack of evidence related to their non-existence, which in itself is such an illogical trope that only the simple minded ever feel the need to apply it as an argument.
