I may believe in Christianity, but that doesn't mean I'm not a free thinker! I made a choice to be a Christian which means I freely chose to be one. I was not forced to be one. Even as a Christian I can freely think. Can someone explain to me how the term 'Free' Thinker only applies to Atheists?
Hurrah, I've managed to offend you already! I'm thrilled

You actually used this argument? Seriously?
You can't disprove Zeus or Thor or fairies or unicorns or the Flying Spaghetti Monster or celestial teapots. That's not the problem, if you claim something is there, it is you who must prove it.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
