You're quite mistaken.  I've been in that situation twice, and that fact can be attested to personally by another person on this forum (Kitty Galore).

At no time during either ordeal did I even give a single thought to "God".

This caricature of atheists that you've constructed isn't even amusing, it's insulting.

Are you suggesting that I should believe your personal testimony concerning what you experienced and reported in your written account above?


Is this something you would be willing to testify to under oath in a court of law? And your eye-witness, Kitty?

Think we've finally driven this one over the edge into creeper territory.  Shows the inanity of his apologetic style, though, eh?  Out of one side of his mouth he thanks us...and the other...like the fucking gestapo...demands that we make an account of our our papers.

Ever been charged by a full grown mountain lion?!? I have and can state with absolute certainty that the all consuming terror leaves absolutely no room for any thought of mythical creatures.

Yes, it's interesting how we're expected to swallow personal testimonies wholecloth and without question, yet we have to bring a note from home.
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.'

Oh, and actually? Yes, I would happily testify in court about my experiences with my wife, and so would she. We could probably even furnish the medical reports to prove it; we still have the one from her latest surgery, last month, close at hand.

What the fuck now, Randy?

Wow. You are fucking desperate to cling to your platitudes and presuppositional beliefs, aren't you.
