Well well, looky there. Oh, I'm sure you meant all proposed deities except yours.

C'mon this is Atheist Forums. Damned near every thread derails into a thread about something else. I do believe establishment of a creator is relavant to a discussion of creationism, is it not?
Quote:That would require examining your IPU theology, which has not been done. But since it is admitted as a parody religion;
I guess you missed that part that said "Humor me for a minute and say (for the sake of arguement)........." The point of compelling reason and evidence is the 'gist' of my inquiries, not the IPUs themselves. However I do believe you know this and are simply engaging in diversion.

Quote:The rationality of a belief is not determined by the absence of contradicting evidence (though that helps) but by the presence of supporting evidence or reason for said belief.
Well neat-o! I've been waiting, and searching, for approx. 28 years for some of that supporting evidence or reason. Found none and none has been presented to me that could not be easily applied to any God or supernatural entity. i.e. Transcendental Argument.
Side note: When responding to me, if it'll save ya a bit of time, I really don't give a fuk about who got credit for saying (writing) what. As Joe Liberman said....., As D.H. Lund said...., as Abraham Lincon said..... means nothing to me if Joe, Frank, Abraham, Arcanus, whoever said something. What matters is the meat of the citation, that does not change, nor give extra credence, based on who said it. It carries equal meaning whether said by a well known person or said by a unknown street bum.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
