Theists add an extra dimension to the discussion tho. Even if it is backwards and stupid it is at least a new perspective.

Not from my end of history..I am yet to be surprised by a "new theistic POV"

Same old same old tired old song from them really....

Most discussions and views have been had before. Each time in a slightly different way. Personally I would rather have the discussions again and see a variety of views than all from the same angle.

Without the theists we are just bitching about them rather than discussing with them.

Sorry Phil, my mistake. It's not her signature, it is her bio on her profile page which states "I really don't care what you think or say about me but have fun poking fun at this Christian no offense taken. Ban me if you want to but I will speak the truth until then."

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.

I hate when people with no factual evidence claim to speak the truth, don't you?

Giving you my witnesses would not only violate their privacy but I doubt you'd really follow up with them or believe more hearsay. So I invite you to summon your demons in the name of Jesus Christ, to reveal themselves and tell me how you explain your experience. But I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have faith in Jesus to protect you from them.

Stimbo has demons?

You better believe it. I got three huge-ass demons, Azal, Bel-Shamharoth and Dave, all wearing mob suits and packing heat. Anybody fucks with me, they go Old Testament on their ass.
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.'
