Well, thanks for the nice pat on the head, and being politely condescending. Who was taking about dinosaurs? I've got nothing against atheists or seculars, zealots, or name callers, but, you need to go and peruse the science and tech section, here if you think I'm ill equipped.
It crosses the line to me due to the fervor, passion, zealotry, to proclaim as FACT, the basic understanding of all mankind is wrong. Smarter than the Pope I guess, since he sees it the opposite. So, yet another religion. A pagan expression. Perhaps thought leaders for persecution if the tables were turned, based on the comments I see here.
I apologize. I must have mixed you up with another poster. He was claiming dinosaurs were around with mankind.
It will grieve you sir, to learn we are only aware of 6% of our universe then. Everything we've just debated is probably wrong. "?" is better than fantastical stories...Of which I have no good reason to believe, unless doctrines command so.
Thousand pardons. My mush melon mixed up posts. I did. My stoned ass. How's that for a sig?
...doobieeee doobie doooo
oops, missed this one. Please don't mod me for my money shot all over this thread...
...only if they go in head first
Nice try on the sig. But any one who knows me will click and see it's out of context....only if they go in head first
...the 'knowing' that people are relaying is not concrete knowledge, it is abstract. Such is life, man.
Click on Doer's quote. Is it out of context, or did he really refer to Atheism as a religion? (Jeopardy music please)
Fervent support of a position in no way makes that position a religion. Just because the majority believes it, doesn't make it right; so that's a flawed argument. I wasn't aware that the pope was the leader in intellectual affairs, thanks for the heads up. I'm sure his deep and fascinating insight on condoms, AIDS, abortion, and women's rights shall be informative.
Well, if you read back, you will see I never offered any, but I've repeatedly asked for your proof, FACT!!!, etc that atheism is what you've said it was. The natural state. If we were un-sullied by
In order to reject something, I would have to believe it exists. I don't, and can't, reject things that are not real.
Athiesm is not yet an organized religion. Call it a cult. And we can certainly sense the superiority and sometimes, outright violence of thought, that's common in cult formation, when the intellectuals succed in motivating the minions. A certain type of second class viewpoint is already forming from the "First Class." of Truth. A true intolerance brewing if you ask me. A blame and guilt game to make Religion as the culprit for our moderm ills. The ignorance of some the basic fact of history, show me the dumbed dowm mob is getting ahold of the idea.
That's the usual wiggle and it's pretel logic, attibutabe to cults. You say you aren't rejecting the concept of diety, but you are.
