That's the third time you said that. You have bad humour or some serious sex addiction problems. You need to quit fantasizing after that girl in that one Disney cartoon I forget her name but she has red hair and seashells on her boobs.

Of course being a poe, you already knew that.
"A parody of a fundmentalist".

I guess you mean I'm pretending to be a fundamentalist if that's what you mean. And yes, I actually am a fundamentalist of sorts. I participate in Hindutva RSS activities if you know what that is.

You said earlier that you were a Buddhist.  Have you had a sudden conversion?

Hmm, shouldn't this thread be in the humor section?

I doubt the POE can communicate a coherent position.  He just likes to lampoon everyone else's.

Let me take one more crack at telling the POE what amounts to the most common 'atheist' position:


Theist:  Have you found the lord our God?

Person:  Uh, what does it look like?

Theist:  It created us all and wants us to worship it so we can avoid damnation when we die and join Him in heaven.

Person:  Pretty sure I've never met anyone like that.  But how would I recognize Him if I did meet Him?

Theist:  You don't meet Him that way.  He only reveals Himself to those who believe through faith.

Person:  Belief doesn't work that way for me.  I just believe stuff I have a reason to think true.  

Theist:  Oh go on and try it.  You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Person:  That just seems like a warped use of "belief".  I don't think I could lie to myself like that.

Theist:  It isn't a lie.  It is just admitting you don't know everything and turning yourself over to a higher power.

Person:  Oh I admit I don't know everything, most especially I am unaware of any 'higher' powers apart from elected officials, etc.

Theist:  Wow, you really think you're the most high and mighty being in creation?

Person:  Oh no, plenty of people are smarter than me and I recognize many as more expert than myself in their fields.

Theist:  Look, we're not talking about people.  We're talking about God.  Will you or won't you believe?!

Person:  It doesn't seem that I do or can, so no.

Theist:  Then you're an atheist.

Person:  I guess that's right since I lack any belief in this God of yours.

Theist:  No, no - you believe my God doesn't exist.

Person:  I don't know about that.  Perhaps I just need a better description.  But clearly I'm not a theist.  What would you call me?

Theist:  You're an agnostic because you don't know if you believe.

Person:  Oh, I'm quite certain I don't believe if that requires the payment of unearned faith up front.

Theist:  And that is why you will roast in hell.

Person:  *backs slowly away*

Do you actually think that's what the theory of evolution describes?
