Lame, Ronny. Very lame.

It's interesting how the ad homs flow freely when something purportedly "evident" to any theist isn't immediately sucked up gratefully as though it's the finest wine. Instead I'm offering my opinion that what you're trying to sell me is actually vinegar, based on observation of its sour effects on the humanity of others.

Aside from the obvious projection re: knowledge you don't have, where do you come off judging people like this? Many of the atheists in our happy little band are former theists of one flavour or another, though yours truly never has swallowed the bait up to now and will be well and truly buggered before I ever will in the future.

Actually, I've been standing still the whole time simply waiting to see something to consider. You and your compadres are the ones dodging about and refusing to show anything above the level of insults, platitudes and special pleading.

In your head the divide gets wider and wider. If actuality has anything to do with it, it's not my fault. Give me something I can sink my teeth into, or stop pretending the Emperor is a fashion icon.

Analogy fail. In your example, we have a chimp, a cage, an apple and hand injuries. All demonstrably existent. The evidence for your (or any) god and its supposed prayer-answering aspect is... more special pleading, seasoned with condecescension.

Shouting doesn't hide the projection. Please show me anything I have written that suggests anger directed towards you, or else retract this allegation in your very next post.

This is a speedbump. The proselytising ends here. Thank you for your co-operation.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
