He said he would leave.
He still hasn't.
So he's a liar.
Case closed.

Atheist like Religion see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. I have million of fans to share with, I have the ability to entertain and get my point across and feel this well enough ion other forums. The other thing is, I have run out time and too busy on this off grid eco village.
Castle, you are missing the point. And I say this in the nicest way possible, but we can't understand a goddamn thing you say! You throw words together in random jumbles under the delusion that you are communicating a message, but communication requires coherency.
We are not rejecting your ideas, because we can't understand them.

Maybe getting on the wagon for a while clears up stuff?

To me thats, would be like saying Religion is not the largest topic on this Atheist forum or Dawkins is deeply religious like Einstein.
...
I have a 90 year close old friend in Mexico who was a student of Einstein in the US. From his second hand experience he ensures me that Einstein is strongly spiritual and believes in god in his own way (like myself). No. Einstein was an atheist. You and your "90-year old friend" are so horribly wrong its not even funny, its pathetic.
Quote:Letter to Eric Gutkind (partial)
Albert Einstein (1954)
Translated from the German by Joan Stambaugh
... The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. These subtilised interpretations are highly manifold according to their nature and have almost nothing to do with the original text. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them.
In general I find it painful that you claim a privileged position and try to defend it by two walls of pride, an external one as a man and an internal one as a Jew. As a man you claim, so to speak, a dispensation from causality otherwise accepted, as a Jew the priviliege of monotheism. But a limited causality is no longer a causality at all, as our wonderful Spinoza recognized with all incision, probably as the first one. And the animistic interpretations of the religions of nature are in principle not annulled by monopolisation. With such walls we can only attain a certain self-deception, but our moral efforts are not furthered by them. On the contrary.
Now that I have quite openly stated our differences in intellectual convictions it is still clear to me that we are quite close to each other in essential things, ie in our evalutations of human behaviour. What separates us are only intellectual 'props' and `rationalisation' in Freud's language. Therefore I think that we would understand each other quite well if we talked about concrete things.
With friendly thanks and best wishes
Yours, A. Einstein.

You keep saying over and over again Albert Einstein was a spiritualist, well back up your claims. Put up or shut up because I'm getting sick of your bullcrap.

Like with guns, people with psychological or behavioural disorders should not be allowed to gain access to the Internet. Little knowledge and a big ego is a dangerous combination indeed.

Fuck, I just realised something. I actually understood what the guy was saying! Weird....
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
