Quote:If you simply lack any belief about God or gods you are simply acknowledging your own ignorance, again.
What is truly appalling is that this person is so very blind to his own copious ignorance. It is clear that we waste our breath. Reason and rationality are consensual and he doesn't operate that way. He just dresses his prejudice and bias up in logical sounding statements which don't hold water. Once you point that out and he doesn't cop to any of it anything more said is surely a wasted effort.

However I've seen no evidence, no reason to believe such a thing exists. Just as I don't believe in fairies, why would I? Fairies could possibly exist, they may in fact do but so far I've seen no reason or evidence to suggest that they exist.

This person probably thinks the mischief he does here doesn't reflect on his true self or on Christians generally but I know from the atmosphere I experience on these forums how untrue that is. Christians are held in more contempt here than they all deserve because of the actions of punks like this. I believe that his behavior here is absolutely a reflection of his true character. Since I think hell is a metaphor for what we experience here and now given our life choices I cannot believe he is a happy person.
