You see, this is where I don't get it... I have to be willing to believe? From what is shown in the bible, I wouldn't want such a horrible being to exist... In the same way I wouldn't have wanted someone like Hitler to exist.
And if I did believe in him, I certainly wouldn't worship the fascist.
I could say the same thing about Son Goku... You don't understand just now, but if you are willing to believe in him, then the truth will be revealed to you... Fucking bullshit, missy.

Oh no! I hate that guy in the video... I have seen the original video that he said this in. He is a moron of epic proportion.

If you're reading this, you're an ape. More specifically, you're an African Ape. You don't have to believe that for it to be true. Praise be to facts.

Tactfully and assertively Salty? O-kay......So, the strange notion that neither of you is capable of dealing with the most common objections to your favorite fairy stories and instead prefer to avoid them entirely with doublespeak wouldn't really mean much, would it?
Every conversation with either of you thusfar-
:Theist Nutball: I confidently assert this or that nonsense.
:Can't Believe His Fucking Eyes Atheist: Care to quantify that?
:Theist Nutball: Nope.
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!

The magical thing about facts is that they are true if you actually want them to be or not. You may not understand certain things, but that doesn't mean it isn't a fact. The idea that a truth can only be revealed to you because you actively want to have an imaginary friend is insane.

How exactly has that been going for you btw? Last I recall there was the sound of trumpets as reality faded into the background under the crushing weight of a myth you chose to believe in regardless.
