i didn't chide him you dullard.

this and my last post to you is chiding.

and i didn't cut verse. you did.

which book, chapter, and verse was it dimwit? I know you're too slow to actually know the answer but are you also too lazy to look it up?

you have no have faith. you have blind obedience. there's a world of difference between that and what curt expressed. he's come to his beliefs through a struggle.

you should try it sometime.

you don't know anything of my struggles, and you follow the same line of reasoning that makes you ridicule anything that upsets your myopic view of God. I don't care anything about what you say, you've stated your positions
ad nauseum. You are correct that we've been over this before,and I haven't changed my opinion. Carry on....

I'm an atheist.
I went a little crazy and tried to be agnostic for a few years....but logic and basic common sense got the better of me.
So I went back to atheist.

Better yet, can anyone watch that and believe a higher being could actually be responsible?

No sarcasm intended.

Why does something special always have to be attributed to a higher being?

Likewise, when something horrific takes place, blame is never dished out to the same higher being that gets credit for everything wonderful.

TheSpyder 10-19-2009 08:34 PM

So you have?

I thought that was just about the single weirdest non drug induced question I've ever heard.

Overly religious people are incomprehensible to me.


i'm with you. my children were taught right from wrong, and to treat others with the same dignity and respect they desire. all that without threat of fire and brimstone. if others believe, i have no problem at all with it, and i don't try to talk them out of it. i do have a problem tho with those who try to talk me into it.

apparently moral behavior doesn't really matter.

what's important is accepting jesus.

Yes, me.

And I'll add that my son is the greatest thing in my world. (just edging out my wife--in case she's reading over my shoulder.)

Umm...yeah I guess....but the overwhelming majority of nations on the earth (not all, but the overwhelming majority) allow their citizens to make that choice, so I don't know that it is a particularly "American" to tolerate atheists.
