Even allowing for the dearth of objective evidence for any deity, or that any deity is possible, one cannot fail to note that nothing John has said thus far, gets you any closer to Jesus than it does to the Aztec deity of gluttony.(May 6, 2025 at 4:34 pm)Sheldon Wrote: When are we getting our cash? Your claims about atheists ranged from outright bullshit, to straw man claims, the adjectives describing the deity depicted in the bible are factual, but as I sated unequivocally, these fictions have no bearing on my atheism. you seem to have missed the part where I stated unequivocally the only reason I need to remain disbelieving, is the dearth of objective evidence any deity exists or is possible, so it seems you have read my posts with the same care you have read the bible.Don't you know everything counts as proof of his made up theory.......
You have failed to even try and address your own denials of objective reality, let alone over 45% of adults in the US, based on their superstitious beliefs.
You really do imagine you can bluff your way through anything, bizarre.
Pony up the cash, bro...
I don't have a relationship with deities, anymore than I have one with unicorns, it's just that the majority of humans have managed not to convince themselves that unicorns are real, and make up claims about them, and insist these unicorns want something, and that everyone is obliged to grant it, or else (insert dogma of choice here)...
