Has anyone ever told you that you look like Tin-tin?
Because if not I have something to tell you, please scroll down... Further... Further... Almost there... Annnnnnnd... You look like Tin-tin. Well done by the way and welcome to the forum. Personally I would choose to push it for reasons referred to in my title.

Quote:Has anyone ever told you that you look like Tin-tin? Indeed,as did our erstwhile Prime Minster,Kevin Rudd,,who often appeared in political cartoons in that guise. Today Australian politics is far less re assuring. Our incumbent PM, Lady Macbeth, (Julia Gillard) has all the charm of a trapdoor spider. The leader of the opposition,The Mad Monk, (Tony Abbot) comes across as a ferret. His rotund buffoon of a deputy, (Joe Hockey) is known as "Shrek"  Welcome ED  Quote:"Just a few notes in response to your discussion. First, your quoting of Richard Dawkins shows an inherent bias against any spiritual. It would be like asking a Japanese soldier trapped and being bombed on Okinawa what he thought of FDR. Isn't it ironic that morons like this can never see the shoe on the other foot? They are so devoted to their fictional sky-daddy that they can't accept that they have an inherent bias against rationality. People like this are too fucking stupid to bother with.

I know from experience with religious people, is they tend to emphasize on one of the opposing attributes, while try to ignore the other.
For example, emphasize on God's Mercy and praise it, while merely tolerate and accept his Wrath. Emphasize on God's Forgiveness and praise it, while merely tolerate and accept his punishment. You can see by this, truly, what humans truly adore and praise and exalt. And the exalted attributes and beautiful attributes are those of mercy, compassion, forbearance, love and forgiveness. People are in a double think. They want to believe God is Most Merciful, Ultimately compassionate, even though their religion truly describes him in the exact opposite while yet praising him with such titles. This shows deep down people adore a different God then described by their religion, and are trying to cover the monster god with titles and praise of the true divine beauty that we all adore (whether we believe it exists or not, is a different matter). 
EscapingDelusion, if you want to bang your head against a brick wall, be my guest. That guy is never going to be sensible and listen to what you have to say. On the other hand, if you leave the debate now, one fundie out there is going to be smug as hell, thinking he made really good points..
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

hence the "good luck!", with a fair bit of irony... I grant you it doesn't show through the text...
