I am sure you are aware that there are far more proposed “proofs” of God’s existence right?
Quote:How can you say that a lack of acknowledgement or disbelief in gods has an effect, but meeting a real fairy would not? You agreed with my statement of atheism being a part of the persona, so why would you not think that a belief in fairies could mold one's world view. Even if only a minute smidgen?
Well maybe a minute smidgen, but that’s an insignificant comparison really.
Quote:I would need to seek psychiatric help for sure.
I smell circularity!
A. I don’t believe in God because there is no proof of His existence.
B. But what if he appeared to you and gave you proof of His existence?
C. I’d seek psychiatric help.
D. Why?
E. Because I’d be seeing something I know does not exist.
F. How do you know He does not exist?
G. RETURN TO STEP A
Quote: Besides, if the god-of-the-bible showed up, I would seek Satan out to save me from enslavement. I have no desire to board the Borg ship or spend eternity tending god's garden. (Revelations 21:9-17/Genesis 2:15)
Well tending God’s garden was Adam’s original role, not believers today. I see no mention of the Borg ship in Revelation; I do see Satan losing though, so why would you seek out and join the losing team? That seems pretty….well…dumb.

Nope, it was to point out that he took the exact same view on morality that Shell did (that nobody owns you and you can make up your own rules) even though I am sure she thinks what he did was wrong which proves that she actually believes in an absolute form of morality even though she claims to believe in a relative form of it. If morality was actually self determined then what Dahmer did was not wrong because it’s just different strokes for different folks and if it’s your thing to have sex with the dead and eat their flesh then whatever floats your boat.
Quote: The Inquisition was not one, but a whole congress of people dedicated to enforcing the 'moral code' of the bible.
How is something a bunch of Catholics did nearly a thousand years ago at all relevant to a Reformed Christian?

*Sigh* Yes I have read it. Where do you get your moral authority to say that anything God did was wrong or that he was a psychopath? (Someone with a mental disorder).
