as opposed to using it in its proper place....ridding the world of witches, exercising demons, and condemning people for thought crimes?
that one was for Frodo, obviously.
And for you Statler, nice to meet you btw, I can take that onus and run with it, explain why any god you're likely to imagine cannot be real. That doesn't mean that the onus is actually on me though. This scrambling for the high ground is strange. Those that claim something exists must show that it does, that's the way it works. We don't get to change these rules because we've entered a conversation about a concept that we hold dear to our hearts. can you say the same? Can you formulate a sound argument for the existence of your god?
Could a theist be a freethinker, sure, why not, I'll be nice. Can a christian? A strong and emphatic no.
as an aside, notice that I'm not even asking for empirical proof, this is generous, I'm simply stating that to date, no credible argument for the existence of a deity has ever been proposed.
