You must act very differently in real life than you do here if people you know tend to come to THAT conclusion. Here you seem impenetrably clueless on any matters regarding atheism.

Funny how many similar conclusions people tend to reach without any prior collusion once they stop using ancient scriptures as though they were authoritative, isn't it? To a certain kind of mind, conspiracy is a more credible explanation than the idea that without scriptures telling them what to think, people possessed of information accumulated over the last couple of thousand years can discover that reason and science often lead them to the same place on many matters.

I love it when people point out spelling mistakes, they have nothing real to add to the conversations and the replies are as I expected, you all are extremely easy to lump together, because you all evolved out of the same lump.

It's not the mistake that irks so much. Typos and misspellings are something to which no one is immune. It's refusing to learn the correct spelling or being unwilling to even admit you've spelled something incorrectly. That's indicative of deeper character flaws that have implications for honest discussion. Being able to admit a mistake is a virtue, and if you can't admit even the small obvious ones, you are probably incapable of admitting any at all. At which point the discussion is mostly for the benefit of the lurkers, who will be at least entertained by it, as it's obviously not going to actually go anywhere.

What in his post made you say that?
His dislike of what the article implies about letting parents override doctors.

The blog itself you idiot, it stated a 75% rate, did you check to see if that was true or did you just assume it was the truth, that's not the way of logical people, so you must not be nearly as logical as you believe your self to be.

Argument from authority is only a fallacy if the authority is not qualified on the subject at hand. There's no good reason to presume that someone else could give a better estimate of the girl's odds than her own doctors.

probably the post i provided by the American cancer soceity that shows how survival rate ratios are actually given and evaluated by people who treat cancer maybe... you know the one I have be talking about since my second post.
Despite the fallacy of applying averages to a specific case, you DO keep talking about the article you linked as though it overrides the informed opinions of the girl's doctors on her specific case.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
