Er - that's what a cliché is. Don't be misled by my clumsy wording; I was referring solely to this thread. Sorry if I confused you
 .
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.'
Gets rather tiresome really.....

I hate it when Christians quote Jeremiah 29:11 for me. It's one of their favourite, and it's a lie.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Well, if those are the plans, then what if some calamity happens that is beyond my control? And Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Christians often quote this verse when some horrific thing happens. I'd like to know what planet they're from.
God is a personification of ourselves, what we wish to be, and that which we do not understand.

Let's not forget that old standby, Psalm 14:1 - "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." As with all quotemining they happily dump out the part that seems to support their point of view, but though it's not unknown they rarely give us the second bit - "They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Maybe because it's a little harder to justify when all they wanted was a shit 'n' run job; it opens up a whole slew of uncomfortable questions. Actually the standard response is "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. The Wise Man shouts it from the rooftops."
Then there's this delightful little nugget: "Atheists run from God for the same reason a thief runs from a policeman." What a very xtian thing to say. It just begs for a lion.

I cringe when I hear this one. "You may not believe in God, but he believes in you."

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
Oh I just remembered another one that I HAAATE!
God is dead-Nietszche Nietszche is dead-God Well there is it. I'm convinced. His whole philosophy was wrong.  Never trust a person who argues in slogan form!

More than anything what pisses me of is when they say "As a christian I..." Who the fuck cares? Does that mean you think that god endorses your argument? What the fuck does it imply? Does it make your bullshit worthless opinions somehow more valid?
