My Escatological Vision

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Minimalist it is clear in my experience that all you do is troll on people.

I don't think he gets you Min,nor grasped the meaning of the word 'pithy' EG:

The message is one of submission to authority. Authority has always approved of such dictums and the sheep don't know any better.

My perception is that you and I share one sterling quality; we both decline to suffer fools. What's-his-name qualifies,it's really that simple.

Min,please feel free to correct me if I've misunderstood your position.

I have friends who are theists who I love and respect. Do not dishonor my feelings, or the feelings of many other atheists who love people in all sorts of ways despite their theism.

Me too,well,three.

My 84 year old mother who is a wavering Catholic, appalled by Ratty and that slimy cardinal George Pell.

My best (hard atheist) mate's 19 year old daughter is in her second year of Law/Arts. She has recently come down with a nasty case of evangelical Christianity, but is still the same bright,sweet girl. We're hoping this is just a phase.

The 20 year old son of a friend was recently baptised in the Church of England. His (soft atheist) mother is unconcerned.She reports there has been no noticeable change in his behaviour.He continues bonking his way through the female student body of his university.

I have mainly mild contempt for most believers who insist on inflicting themselves on atheist forums. Willful ignorance and unfounded personal certitude irritates me.I also become a little peeved at the arrogance which assumes we have not heard their tired, intellectually dishonest arguments many,many, many times.

Hate them? Of course not; they flatter themselves with a delusion of adequacy. One needs to care about something in order to hate it. In real life,I'm pretty much indifferent to such people and their personal superstitions. To be blunt, I really, truly ,could not care less if they should spontaneously combust.
