Yes, and we are in hell and as our punishment the fundies were sent here to annoy us for all eternity.

Hey getting annoyed by fundies is a lot better than singing praises of the biggest jerk for all eternity.

As long as they only harm our irony meter here, it's fine by me.

You found the exaltation of ignorance by an obvious and threadbare excuse - explicitly acknowledging that this shit doesn't make sense......a reason to go back? Now -that- puts shame to my pride, as a member of the same species. GG god. Who is it you worship again? Loki?

I find it rather humorous that I upset some of you because I was honest about why I believe (note: "my personal turning point"). I get that most if not all of you are firm atheist, obviously I'm not trying to "convert" or whatever. But if you are simply poking fun at me, then I'm sorry I read too seriously.

We are not upset because you were honest about your beliefs. We are upset that having left no doubt about what you are capable of believing, you are still allowed to vote.

With all due respect, I've met a lot of intelligent and ignorant people both religious and non-religious. I've graduated from college, so if you're implying I'm a generally stupid person I would argue that I don't know everything, but I'm not void of knowledge all together.

It's obvious that you're not that stupid

But I'm sure you will agree that even intelligent people with a lot of knowledge may have poor critical thinking skills with regards to their faith based beliefs.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
