It sure seems that way, and what a weird tangent to take on a thread regarding what might be regarded as reasonable beliefs for a Christian to hold. He seems intent on making the case that xtians have no critical capacity whatsoever.

Some of the most religious and faithful people I know don't have any time for this sort of shit.  It's not that they don't believe in life after death, obviously...they just don't fawn over every charlatan with his hand out.

We aren't getting the cream of the crop here at af.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I had an experience a few nights back where I perceived my penis to be at least twice as large as it is..then I woke up.  I bet I have a huge spirit pecker. What other explanation could there possibly be?

I was dragging it through the dirt to till, you see...and I'm looking at it right now and it goes no further down than my knees.

You treat atheists as if they've closed their minds off to certain possibilities. This is a mischaracterization. By-and-large, we are a skeptical crowd. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The problem with relying on anecdotal evidence is that it can be used to support untrue claims. It can be a good starting point for investigations, but not a good finishing point. As I pointed out before, claims about alien abduction and bigfoot rely on such evidence.

Don't treat us like we are unwilling to engage in substantiated claims. Don't treat us like we carry around prejudices. You know as well as I do that theists are the ones who typically don't give the other side a fair shake. I, personally, have challenged myself to take a good hard look at many theistic claims, and I still do so to this day. You treat atheists like a group of prejudiced individuals, unwilling to look at the other side, when the truth is, we've taken a good hard look at the other side of the argument and we're tired of it.

It's time for the theistic community to meet us half way. Until then, unless you have extraordinary evidence, please don't bother us with your extraordinary claims.

1. No it's not really even evidence . It's hearsay.

2. It has spawned a confirmation biased cabal of loons and charlatans . Who do shoddy circle jerks of no real scientific value . Then relieve themselves in a publication i'll named a journal .

3. Unlikely in the extreme .

4. Their is nothing for rational persons to engage . Accept the baseless ravings of a cargo cult .

So kindly quite pretending were running from your moonbat society. When we regard them in the same line as the homeless man outside raving and writing equations in his own shit .
