If these resident theists really talk to god..
RE: If these resident theists really talk to god..
You're turning me on, Kay.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

At the risk of turning Tonus on, I too want to see these reports. Interesting how we're condemned for basing our decision on rules that don't exist (when that wasn't the case), while being similarly condemned for failing to act based on reports that actually don't exist. That's the real double standard here. Hanged if we do, hanged if we don't.
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.'

I don't doubt that Drich has had some terrible shit said to him, but without the links, we can't understand the context in which these things were said. Much of the time these insults come after he says abominable things like wanting to pray for us to get cancer. His sliminess here wasn't in response to anything put forth towards him. It was just a cheap shot below the belt for Jesus.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Exactly. The admin of another forum was very fond of the following analogy: it's like a person going into, say, a biker bar and complaining how all bikers are intolerant, violent twats - then claiming how they proved his point after they rip off his arms and beat the shit out of him with the wet ends.

None of you were Anywhere to be found. Why? Because of the double standard here. Only atheists are to be treated with kid gloves, and are to be honored and respected with word though and deed. Christians, can be verbally shat on, and no one cares. It's not only acceptable, but seemingly mandatory..

ROFLOL

You're such a liar Drich. I gave you benefit of the doubt though, and went and checked.





Turns out: You are full of shit.
Not even one person said you should've been killed by AIDS. Not one (that I could find), much less half a dozen
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

The voice that talks back to him when he prays probably told him that. You know what a prankster jesus can be!

Wow. Doing a search and just reading Drich's words is, well, illuminating. He doesn't appear to be attempting to following a coherent line of discussion at all, rather he simply works to derail and deflect criticism of his object of delusion. It must really bug him that we don't agree with nearly anything he says.
