I don't know how it is where you are but we have a shortage or physicians in the U.S. We definitely have a bunch of evolution deniers which is really scary. I would no more want to trust my body to one of them than I would my car to a mechanic who denies the existence of spark plugs.

Internal Combustion is just a theory?
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

I didn't get to the part where he explained exactly what converted him, but he was explaining how he nearly drunk himself to death. I'm guessing he credits Jesus with living. What a douche. It just shows that not everyone gets to be an atheist by using critical thinking.

Yeah, what is that? The Argumentum ad I'm an assholum?

Hmm. So you're here Daniel because there's a slim chance you might be able to save us from the wrath of your master by getting us to suck up to him like you do.

I don't suck up to tyrants.
Feel free to send me a private message.

That babbling you heard - that wasn't our comments, that was you sticking your fingers in your ears and going "lalalalala".

that's a waste of time for you

Speaking of a waste of time, now is a good time to remind you that you have a personal relationship with a jealous god. I suggest you spend less time here in order to prevent pissing off your partner.

And therein lies the difference. For the atheist, all it would take is sufficient evidence. For the faith headed, no evidence will ever be sufficient. Congratulations, you just wanked off Ken Ham; and that can never be a good thing.
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.'

Lol, "drunk himself to death."

Late night insomnia posts FTW.

Death thought about it.

I find your Discworld quotes quite inspiring and they fill me with love and joy. They bring back happy memories (if I ignore Raising Steam)

No prayer or deities required there, either.


Surely you would not operate without the family of the ill at least offering up a burnt offering to you?
