Creationist Senators block fossil bill

So more non-replies to more non-issues, yes?

I'll take your refusal to engage as an admission of your inability to do so. I'll also take it that you're here simply to troll or incite arguments (your MO appears to be to say something unsubstantiated and then run away when people reply to you), and I will report you as such.

Only if you respond to any of the points already raised will we get onto your erroneous prejudices about what atheism is and who atheists are (note; atheism is a religion like bald is a hair colour. But I suspect that, too, will go over you head). It doesn't matter who you've responded to, you may as well have not responded at all for all it advanced the conversation.

Not it at all. Like I've stated before, I don't start threads. I respond to a particular persons post if it piques my interest, and will generally just address them. Seeing how I'm outnumbered you can't possibly expect me to reply to everyone.

But that's the issue. You've contributed nothing to this thread aside revealing a propensity to not understand both secularism and parody.

So, one more time; If I may ask a serious question. Are you here to learn anything about who atheists really are and what we (don't) believe, or just to confirm your prejudices based on imagined positions you think we hold?

there are no prejudices. Growing up I had two good friends who were "agnostic" and "atheist" respectively. Religion or atheism was never discussed. They just weren't interested. Just curious about the attraction to discuss something you're not interested in.

You must have me confused with another poster. I've made no inclining as to my feelings on topics to which I enjoy discussing evident on this thread.

If you're referring to the level of discussion on religion on this forum,then you are either being intentionally obtuse, ignorant, or both. It is self-evident that the beliefs and ideas of others affect ones position/life in society, being the social creatures we'd have evolved to be. That your friends didn't want to discuss religion with you is entirely up to them, and also incidentally entirely besides the point.

Hence the discussions of secularism and parody earlier. Interest and investment are not the same thing, and if you don't no know what I'm talking about, then I suggest you lurk more on the forum before commenting. But of course, you're free to believe whatever you want so long as it doesn't impact on me.

Which, of course, is entirely the point, which everyone here seems to get. Apart from you, of course.
