Not insane, Duke, not at all. Disappointed. At some time in their
lives, perhaps as a child, perhaps as an adult, an event occured
which led them to doubt God's concern for them.

It was then quite easy to deny the existence of God. No one ever
taught them that god may allow you to suffer for a time, but he will
never abandon those who love and wait for Him. Never.

The above is an example of the use of personal insult. It is a necessary
tactic when there is no logical way to defend one's own beliefs.

I'm not a god hater. I'm not a tooth-fairy hater, or a leprechaun-
hater.

For me to hate something, it needs to -
a) exist and
b) have a reputation for being really nasty and totally useless

Your god qualifies for (b) but fails on (a).

You dooky qualify for both a and b. However, due to your abject
stupidity, I decided to let you off. besides, now that Paddy isn't
talking to me any more, you are the only god-bot I can have fun trying
to educate.

Not god-haters, either. How can you hate something when you don't
believe it exists?
Allow me to explain. (shouldn't have to explain, but you christers are
sure dumb).

OK. If I'm a god-hater, then you must be a thor-hater or an odin-
hater. Plainly, that's ridiculous. I prefer to hate the easter bunny,
coz one year my chocolate egg was broken when I opened the wrapper.
No, I made that up, just to help you understand how stupid it is to
hate (or even love) something that doesn't actually exist.
Get it? Got it? Good.

>Disappointed. At some time in their

No no no. Rather, it's a lifetime of observing how shallow and
arrogant and uninformative and just generally ditzy most christians
are, compared to the agnostics and atheists I have met.

I always learn something new every time I have a conversation with an
atheist or agnostic, and I like to learn new things. Christians rarely
if ever teach me anything new. So it just happens that it was
christians more than anything else that turned me off religion. People
like Duke and Patrick and yes, you, do a great job of making sure I
stay away from any sort of religion. Probably I owe you all a thank
you.

Reeking Hearse Loser has never once tried to defend his beliefs - he

they are just so much question-begging bullshit.

Religion IS the disease.

Liar.

How can the exact equivalent of not believing in the fairies at the
bottom of the garden, curve anybody's thinking, imbecile?

You're a perfect example of religion destroying a mind that might once
have been able to think.

Were you both stupid and sociopathic before you got religion, or did

No one can say atheists are not God haters (well, they're not really
that - they just hate the foul image of God they've built up in their
head), after a few days in a.a.

Often this hate spills over into what I can only call a neurotic
mistrust of the intentions of theists. There is an overriding
inability to recognize that theists may have good motives.

However I don't dislike atheists. I think you're rather a likeable
bunch, in fact. That's why I'm still here! I just think you're
mistaken and deluded, carried away by an unnatural way of looking at
the world, a perverse way in fact.

I submit that the neurotic mistrust referenced above has skewed your
perception into outright bigotry. Christianity taken in its entirety
is not shallow, my friend. Modern life, which atheists love to trump
is _decidedly_ so.

Christians are the _only_ people you are likely to have contact with
that _can_ show you something new. Certainly, that support group of
fellow atheists you've gathered around you can't. It's merely
positive reinforcement that you are after. One might as well simply
recite in fro.t of a mirror for all the good it will do your
intellect.

They can't think outside the box to understand the world and people
outside it.

So they amateur psychologise all sorts of falsehoods about us as if we
were inside it.

Even though it's hardly rocket science that their god/religion
combination is just one out of hundreds.

And just like all the others, it is only taken seriously by its own
believers.

The fact that they can't grasp this remarkably obvious fact, is just
one of the reasons they get treated as the idiots this tells us they
are.

It's hatred that makes you stalk atheists where they hang out and
behave the way you do to them.

It's a bit difficult to attribute good motives to a class of people
who tell lies often. Sadly, this seems to be a defining characteristic
of most theists I have encountered.

I see nothing "natural" about worshiping thor or odin or yahweh or

Nothing neurotic about it. Have a look at Duke, for example. As venal
and profane and self-absorbed as he is, I see very little in him that
I don't see in most other christians.

I do agree that some aspects of secular "modern life" are no less
inane and irritatingly pointless as any of the mindless rituals you
will find within an organized religion. The Kardashians come to mind,
pro wrestling is another, monster truck racing... I'm sure you can
think of a few more.

I admit that Duke's idea that a mythological Adam and Eve can "evolve"
thru hundreds of generations of successively less mythological
characters, to finally arrive at a non-mythological Abraham, is an
ENTIRELY new idea!

But be honest now, isn't that the most profoundly idiotic idea you
have ever heard of?

I don't need a support group. I think non-recovering catho-holics like
Duke and Paddy could benefit from some sort of rehab program though.

Are you one of those theists who run away when an atheist begins to
ask awkward questions?

I've seen worse philosophies of life.

Maybe you and I can have a useful discussion, after all. Perhaps we
can start by discussing the subject of this thread?

I hope you don't have some misguided sense of loyalty to a fellow
theist (Duke) which will prevent you from giving your honest opinion
of his "allegorical people >---> real people" evolutionary
transformational theory. :)

Good for you, RH. You have much more patience than I do - especially
with whiners and liars like alanp. His posts becames so hateful and
insulting to me that I finally kill-filed him. Sometimes I just don't
understand why he (and his pals) can be so hateful. It wouldn't have
been so bad if he had struck a conversation once in a while. Hpwever,
he became so much like duca and WTF, I invited him to join them in my
kill file. Perhaps in a month, he may learn to lighten up. Good luck
to you in your quest to get him to at least listen.

Bitterness? What bitternes Dukie?

All I'm doing is asking questions. Do you think you have the right to
not have your pronouncements and assertions questioned?

For example, you have agreed that Adam and Eve didn't exist at all.
You OTOH also claim that Abraham was a real person, as real as you and
I.

You further claim that Abraham is a direct descendant of Adam and Eve.

How can this be?

Oh yes, you already answered this. Evolution, you say.

Why can't you just admit you were mistaken?

I disagree. His arguments were never rational, but I think he fancied

Yes he did. The problem is that there really is no way to honestly and
competently defend Catholic or Christian doctrine, but true believers are
not going to admit that even to themselves.

Don't let Duke's irascibility mislead you. He gets the gist of the
matter right often enough.

Plus, he does not pick and choose which posts to respond to as I do,
so he is dealing with many different OPs at once, which is much
harder, especially when some of them are profane and blasphemous.
I missed that thread. The thing is, the OT writers had only oral
history to go on. Instead of a dry genealogy, they constructed a
psychologically rich fable of our 'first parents' and included many
profound theological insights on the nature of God, man, sin,
creation and death.

Even taken just as a work of literature, it is a major achievement
and worth reading on that basis. If you have never taken a Bible as
literature course, I recommend it for the appreciation it will give
you.

I'd be happy to. I don't know what his idea is. Certainly we are
talking about oral histories, and there is no way to prove Abraham
ever existed.

But the Israelites did not share our historical precision. Their
concerns were primarily religious and ethical.

Now, religion and ethics are serious topics, and it is to the Jews'
credit that they tackled such serious issues in their literature. We
should read the Bible with an eye toward understanding what the Jews'
intent was in writing it, and not try to fit it in some post-modern
mold of what qualifies as history. That is a fruitless task, imho.

What you are doing is running away from the issue that was being discussed
and indulging in a personal attack based on a complete strawman.
Furthermore, even if we pretended that you were correct about our
motivations, it would be completely irrelevant. The fact that you are
unable to provide any objective evidence for any god would not be affected
in the least, and the non-existence of any evidence for any god is the
reason we actually give for our non-belief. Perhaps Darwin (to name one

Notice he only decided to kill-file me after I put him on the spot by
asking him if he agreed or disagreed with Duke's ludicrous beliefs?

Why don't you and I formally debate the existence of this god of yours
right here in this thread?

You go ahead and post your top five *very* *best* items of evidence
for this god. They can consist of positive scientific evidence, or of
independent objective evidence, or even of intelligent rationale or
any mix of the three; then we'll see what you have to offer.

This is your chance to do what your god supposedly wants you to do: to
witness and to win people to him. Are you going to step up to the
plate and embrace this chance or not? Are you going to go the extra
mile, or run a mile? Are you going to give your coat, or throw in the
towel? Are you going to cross the street or cross your wires?

So then you'd have to ask yourself how profoundly *stupid* you have to
be to bother with people whom you yourself think aren't worth
bothering with. lol!

But here's where you're a hypcorite: According to NT fiction, you were
expressly instructed to witness to people and lead them to your god.
How come you don'tdo that - or mroe to the point, how come you fail so
comprehensively when you do what you *think* is going to achieve that
end, and then failing to achieve that end, you expressly reject the
instruction of your lord and master to shake the dust off your feet
and depart? Is it because you have such a clean pair of heels?

Or are you just a good-for-nothing liar, hypocrite, coward and vacuous
blowhard?

This has a great gospel tune, also:
Delta Dawn (Tanya Tucker)

********************************************************
Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky

She's forty-one and her daddy still calls her "baby"
All the folks around Brownsville say she's crazy
'Cause she walks around town with a suitcase in her hand
Looking for a mysterious dark-haired man

In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
And promised her he'd take her for his bride

Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky
**************************************************

It occurred to me that most of the people listening to this country
hit some bunch of years ago were going to church two or three times a
week, and yet felt sorry for this fictional character. They never saw
the irony in that.

But I see the xtians as being more like cargo cultists, wishing and
hoping for some superior being(s) to take pity on them and shower them
with undeserved gifts and unearned approval. They think that if they
humiliate themselves sufficiently before these superior beings, they
will gain some unfair advantage over those fellow tribesmen who chose
instead to maintain their dignity by refusing to worship.

Wow, no kidding. Where did you get that silly idea. The last I notices,
scripture shows Jesus calls us to love and obey God and love and serve our
fellow man.

Btw, what is a "xtian"?
