No banging's required in the Delicate-verse. People are simply deemed prostitutes by official Delicate Decree.

I followed the evidence where it led, I faced up to my prejudices and laid them aside, and yes, it led me to theism.

What assumption? That atheists don't believe in gods? That's the definition, in the same way that not eating meat is the definition of being a vegetarian.

The assumption you just laid out. If you wish to take it as the definition, then everything I'm saying is compatible with said "definition".

I've skimmed the responses here. Nothing substantial as always. Esquilax hasn't gotten back to me. Not surprised he would be tongue-tied the moment he was asked to substantiate any of his claims.

That's a great way to get atheists to shut up. Ask them for the evidence. Big Grin

Why have you said anything substantial?
There is no evidence for an anthropomorphic god. Get over it.

Thanks for answering. May I ask what religion you are?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

To an idiot, there is no evidence for quantum mechanics either, right?

Some form of Christianity has the most compelling historical evidence for it.
