I pointed out that an atheist on another thread just "reasoned" that a Christian is being arrogant for asking God to do anything special. You have just proved my point here beyond a doubt because your own "rational" thought contradicts his.So you've managed to determine that I've contradicted myself because an atheist that wasn't me argued the opposite thing that I just did?

How very convenient that you can't deign yourself to answer any of my points.
I've been keeping up with this thread ever since I first posted in it early on the first page and I still wrote what I wrote for the reason that those were the points I wanted to get across to you. The only thing you've told me in your response is that either you don't want to respond or you can't because if I honestly did miss your point, then you didn't help by not clarifying and just telling me that you refuse to bother.
More to my point, you still haven't responded to post #4 - which was my post if you're going to bring up whose been keeping up with what thread.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
