Post number 14. You suggest that atheists would need spiritual solace to deal with the totality of it all because it's just "so big." Though I can see that you sidestepped ghosts, you seem to be indicating that a man is not up to being able to take in his world, reflect, and act without losing his marbles unless he has some sort of religion.

I didn't "sidestep" ghosts, I specifically excluded them you wonka. "I don't mean, like, ghosts and stuff. "

I certainly like a bit of solace from time to time, if only when I think about my own mortality and what I'm leaving behind for my children, my grandchildren and future generations hopefully to come. Not to mention the death of a loved one (the word "love" have any meaning for you? Or is it all just a chemical process?), even the birth of a little one is a wondrous event. Plus there's other sh1t.

The religion bit is just your obsession revealing itself.. I made no mention of it in the post (although the word appears in the quote of Shell B).

...All of your posts follow the same general syllogism:

All men are mortal.
Mortals need religion.
All men need religion.

That's your interpretation. I merely suggest that in reality religion does provide some facilities or services (whatever) that some people seem to require.

"All men" BTW? Any females figure in your stark utopia?

You have received pretty adequate refutation of this set of premises and your conclusion,

Conclusion? What conclusion would that be then?

and yet you continue, now even asking to be banned.

Feel free to put in a word on my behalf, by all means. You know, if you really wanted me out, you'd probably simply ignore me.

Pure trollery, and you're getting away with it.

Seems to me you could do with some solace, old son.
