I guess there;s always that. Something I;ve found interesting about gods and the people who believe in them and also believe that they now how god works his mysterious ways™....is that it often takes an atheist to step in and suggest that maybe....just maybe...the author of creation (if there were one) isn;t such a flamingly human douche.
@ The above
See..the disconnect persists. "Truth", as though it would be enough even if it really were true. Many things exist. The truth of that statement isn;t really enough to purchase peoples allegiance. That was the whole point of the hell and/or annihilation chaser. They weren;t marketing their religion to atheists, they were marketing their religion to other god believers. Simply saying "because there is a god" wouldn;t have been enough.
The prospective mark would have simply replied "Yeah, I know, and it;s name is X".
