How much pain can atheists withstand ?

I believe God's existence shouldn't be a highly challenging philosophical task. That being said the sole fact that there is extensive literature about analogies makes your claim wrong (that it's useless and just used for illustration)

Since complex organisms can't be brought about without a creator, and since we have no good reason to assume evolution contradicts belief in creator, it's safe to say that belief in a creator is more than warranted

Why "only personal agents produce things" beyond your bald assertion?

Ok, this god of yours must be very complex, who created him/her/it?

It cuts down on spam, advertising, and general cuntishness.

On the contrary, it is completely fair to new members, as it applies to all new members equally.

Nah this doesn't hurt me, but I don't like being insulted this way

You’re very stupid.

I'm aware of that, scumbag. She threatened me with a ban, but threats are illegal according to your rules, remember ?

Threats of violence or bodily harm, you mental midget.

Holy fuck, but you're thick!
