Just a thought, I have been told that I "need to believe" ... well I don't, it is not possible to say that from 9:00 am on Monday I will start to believe, I need to be convinced by evidence before I can believe, hasn't happened yet.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

@zebo-the-fat

Yeah . A priest friend of my chronically Catholic former wife telling her I had a problem with 'spiritual pride' .Translation: I rejected what the Church was selling, starting with the more fatuous Catholic claims. Patronising arsehole.

Hasn't he already?  Or do his posts need to be more blatant?

He might not be a troll, just a massive cock womble.

Exactly. The problem is that there are fundies who sound just like this, and they aren't taking the piss. We don't want to ban fundies just for being fundies. However, there is a lot of bait in his posts that suggest trolling is going on. Sometimes, we just have to let it play out or ask you guys just not to feed the troll. I'd prefer to have a troll being a brat than mistakenly ban someone just for having a shit belief system.

That's why I'm only at 90% troll. Poes law and all that.

That's assuming they're not synonymous terms.

-"--, just a massive cock womble."

What a fragrant expression.

I'm familiar with the words, only not together. I have this image of a Womble on Wimbdeton Commons displaying a gigantic dong. (?)

Nothing. You really could just be kind of a jerk when it comes to talking to atheists.
