I don't think you answered me Kyu. I make no assertions about the beliefs of non Christians. You can't use that as proof, it isn't a given.

You said, "How on earth does belief without evidence=questioning?" followed by the question "DOESN'T it? LOL *winks*" ...

Now that constitutes an implicit question, which I answered by saying, "You gotta be joking here. As Adrian has already said faith (belief in something without evidence) is the very opposite of doubt and questioning."

So yes, I do think I answered you. If you still think I didn't I'm afraid you're going to have to stop speaking in tongues.

Another insult.

Adrian said that, and I've answered Adrian. Moving on...

Should I be?!? [afraid of Quetzalcoatl]

You said, "The opposite of faith isn't doubt, it's fear."

I said, "Um, no ... it's not." And noted that it implied that you thought atheists were afraid to embrace faith in a god, I further assured you that virtually none of us were afraid of your god or any other.

My answer therefore is a question, should I be afraid of Jehovah (or whatever you call your god)?

No (like I've already said).

Confidence with faith is no where near absolute assurance of fact.

Confidence with faith is the equivalent of vapourware. Have you ever heard the tale of Hank?

Nope. And I'm not interested either, with your condescending tone I see no point in talking.

The theory goes that God does actually do stuff in this world, but the signature of God is that it is never provable. You can reasonably assume that God doesn't exist, sure. I think I can reason that he does. If we're talking science than yeah, I agree with Dawkins.. on probability we can say he most likely doesn't exist. Theologically that's absolutely correct too. We can't know.

IOW you have no evidence at all and can supply no rational reason whatsoever to believe outside of wishful thinking ... quite apart from that making you look rather foolish (and please don't try to claim I'm insulting you again) it means I can (apparently with great confidence) ignore your god and anyone who witters on about it yes?

Let me be equally polite in return.

You make yourself look like a fool unable to read a sentence or grasp the concept of rationalism. Your mind is obviously in the land of the fairies and you have the intellectual capabilities of an amoeba.

It also begs the question, why don't you go somewhere else and talk about this stuff to people who will actually empathise with you or even treat what you say with some kind of respect?

Is that what you do? Only speak with people who agree with you? That would stop you having to think about it I suppose.

OK, you say theology is correct (despite the lack of evidence) so let's run with that. I have a question ... which theology?

At this point I lost interest in answering this drivel. Forgive me if you said anything interesting after this point.
