Only men that have never been married.

Probably true.

The Weather Channel never remarks about the sun when it rises in the east, and scientific journals have nothing to say about water being wet. For the same reason, Christians becoming atheists is almost never a newsworthy story.

A man who has deluded himself into thinking he is a sexual god when the opposite is true.

I've had four wives (at different times)
and I married one of them twice. As far
as the sexual god thing goes...
I may not be as good as I once was...
But I'm as good once as I ever was.

I'd feel a lot happier if the pyromaniacs here would use his full name.

Half of these threads nearly gave me heart failure.

This part made me chuckle:
Quote:Thomas L. McDonald, a Catholic Patheos blogger, welcomed Libresco to the fold: “Welcome. I know this was hard, and will continue to be so. Don’t worry if the Catholics make it as for difficult for you as the atheists. We only do it to people we love.”
Nothing like a little motivational speech to get things started!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

From the link: "Libresco, who had long blogged under the banner “Unequally Yoked: A geeky atheist picks fights with her Catholic boyfriend"

I see the obvious answer.

Sadly for your bank account, your experience is far too common to make hay from, let alone money...but turn back into a Catholic and you could be a rock star!

No thanks. I prefer progressive jazz and blues. Cool Shades

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Yeah I do not think she is being genuine, if she said it was because of her boyfriend or something I may believe that, but how does ome make the leap from morality is external to us, to catholicism?
BTW you guys should lay off max, compared to theists on this site like GC and drippy, he is right on.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
