The definitions in bold describe a person who believes in fairy tales and superstitions e.g., god-figures.

No, there really isn't. You have just as much reason and evidence to believe in unicorns, leprechauns, and Crumple-Horned Snorkacks as you do to believe in any given god-figure. I hope I am not the first at this forum to inform you of this. <eyes all the atheists here with feigned suspicion>
You strawmanning me and trying to pretend I said shit I didn't say, e.g., "there is only one facet to a belief system" makes you stupid AND a liar.
And again. Please cite my saying that.
But only one of them is not full of shit when they do, and canhandily demonstrate as such.
You are full of shit and can go pound sand up your ass.
AND superstitious. AND delusional. AND full of shit. AND backward. AND throwbacks to the Dark Ages. AND impediments to the progress of the human race. You're damned right I call you and billions of other superstitious idiots all that and more.
Oh, yeah -- I forgot "insane" -- add that to the list, too.
So if you know there is more than one facet to a belief system,
What does that even mean? Are you casting my pointing out the fact that your religion is superstition as single-faceted approach to religion? If so, that is utter tripe. That it is superstition is merely the bottom line.
Quote: why describe people as simply stupid?
Because believing in superstitions is fucking stupid.
Quote: Strawman my ass, you implied it in your ignorance,
OH, so according to you it's ignorant NOT to believe in superstitions. Check.
Quote: you arrogant asshole.
That's LORD arrogant asshole to you, punk.
Quote:You do realize that everything you say hinges on you being right in the first place, right?
This is how reasoned argumentation works. Didn't you know?
Quote: I'm done with you,
Glad to hear it.
Quote:I've seen clones like you on every forum and message board on the internet. You're regurgitating the same crap as they all do, with just as much self righteous arrogance. Pfft
The reason you keep getting beaten up by people who don't believe in superstitions is because you keep clinging to the same bullshit and refusing to examine it critically and objectively. Thus your perception of "clones" who "regurgitate the same crap". When one person calls you a duck...
But you'll never learn. Fucktard religious trolls never do.
