Well my cats an atheist too by that definition and my cat has more sense as it wouldn't waste its time on anything it wasn't interested in. If you are only here to horse around i suggest you grow up, and troll elsewhere or better still if you get your kicks from trying to wind folks up then grow some balls and run around some Muslim are with a placard with Mohammed is a ..... whatever you want to put last on.

Whether or not you continue the thread that you started after apparently ducking the initial question to the point you yourself raised is entirely up to you. I appreciate that you're still learning, though I submit that a less blinkered approach might stand you in better stead in that endeavour. I'll just observe that, for someone posting on the topic of prophets, you seem somewhat underinformed as to the nomenclature involved. A hit = a fulfilled prophecy/prediction. I'm sorry if you find my less than serious tone offensive or at least troubling. However any petulance you draw from that is entirely your own.

My prophecies are better.

no i'm just making it plain that if i'm going to take this serious enough to try and flesh out the subject; I'm not doing it as a debate although I will expect points to be contested but its not about winning and loosing and as you can read from my replies to previous posters I want the half wits out. I'm sure this may settle into an interesting discussion once we do but if they persist then i won't bother to continue as I have other irons in the fire including a good movie by the TV.

If we are talking about Christian/Biblical prophets and how we should distinguish a true one from a false one then surely it makes sense to look to how the Bible tells us as Christians to do this as i'm assuming that by default an Athiest doesn't believe in prophets so has a default its rubbish position. Or is that not a reasonable starting point.
