Hmm methinks Ramsey regards everybody as thinking as he does and with
the same god obessions he has.
I understand this is a trait common to self-centred arrogant people
who consider themselves above 'the rabble'. When somebody has
a world outlook different to his he regards such people as 'misguided'
and sets himself up to be their guide on the grounds
they obviously need one never allowing their ability to determine
things for themselves as we do. Such people are not worthy of
consideration in my view.

and this confirms what I say above.
All he is doing is talking of his own thoughts and feelings as if I
and everybody else has the same which is clearly not the case
otherwise we would all be nodding our heads and agreeing with him
Fortunatly we are not all part of his Borg collective as he appears to
think we are.

Which is patently not true but in his minds eye that is how he sees
it. I am sure doctors will have an appropriate word for such symptoms

If true
What one individual may regard as 'innate knowledge' may well be
personal only to the individual even though he may think otherwise
whether it is right or wrong or compelety 'off-beam'
To the man who thinks he is Napoleon this is 'innate knowledge'
to him, but only to him.
He probably thinks everybody else knows he is Napoleon
too and are lying when they tell him otherwise.
People quickly learn to smile, cross their fingers and tell such
persons they are right then continue smiling as they slowly back away.
It is always better to appear to agree with these types lest these
types become even more disurbed.

M'Lord I submit all of Ramsey's posts to alt.atheism,
for the last year (and all the other names he is known to use) in
evidence.
I also submit the frequency of these posts as evidence. They have
been unending day after day week after week only stopping briefly
from time to time. (which seems to coincide with the appearance
of one fasgnadh)

Yes we know how it works and under which circumstances it works.
It is one thing expressing relgious belief and faith as that remains
within the realm of make-believe and requires no proof, it is just
somebody elses religous beliefs but when they step ouside that
realm into the real world and begin to assert some universal truth
about it (such as the existence of a god and that we are all aware of
it) they are now in a world where the knowledge of absolute truth of
it is an important part.
We owe a duty to such truths to demand absolute proof of it
before it is accepted otherwise we would become hopelessly
lost and in the dark. It is far too important to treat lightly and
just on the say of another
We will never know these absolute truths if we allow our knowledge
of it to be corrupted by deceivers and the only way to determine
that is by demanding that those who do assert it demonstrate
how they know this truth in a way others can check and verify for
themselves. If the person really does know the truth then he
should be happy to do this and not attempt to dodge or evade
doing it.
Ramsey has been given several opportunities to demonstrate
the truth of his assertions and has failed every time. How many
failure should he be permitted before we can conclude he is
trying to deceive us and thereby corrupt our knowledge?

There is some merit in this but when the message is nothing more
that the persons own thoughts and beliefs projected onto everybody
else as a universal and absolute truth then it is no longer a case of
a messenger bringing a message but the messenger delivering himself
and should be treated as such
As such the religious have no message to bring but only proclaim
their own worthless relgious beliefs and faith which they cannot
demonstrate the truth of it. If they remain within the realm of
belief and leave others to decide its merits for themselves then
there is no problem.
