I came here and asked two questions -- the second of which required a yes
or no answer -- but you'd've thought that I was a Christian zealot trying
to impose my system of beliefs.
Fact is that I'm a lapsed RC and recognize that many of the teachings
border on ludicrity or raise more questions than they answer. We are
charged with having faith but we have brains that reject the irrational.
That said, I do believe in the existence of a superior being -- God, if you
will -- and can only hope and trust that this entity is loving, and
actually smiles on those (very few) who carry out the worthwhile directive
to "do unto others and you'd have them do unto you."

Concerning your close here: ...God...actually smiles on those (very
few) who carry out the worthwhile directive to 'do unto others and
you'd have them do unto you', and it's contrast with your admonition
yesterday morning to 'run, chickenshit', it looks like you don't
concern yourself with 'do unto others', or that you have fowl
fantasies, scatological.

He got answers he didn't like, including AFAIR pointing out that a
loaded question couldn't be answered with a simple yes or no.

It was an example of a theist asking "innocent" questions and
poisoning the well by including falsehoods about atheists, showing he
was more interested in causing offence than getting answers.
The very subject line is a vicious slander or libel.

Use your irrationality-rejecting brain to ask the question, "Why would you
suppose that the Universe was created by a being like us, only more
powerful?" Doesn't that seem a trifle short-sighted to you?
Intensive childhood indoctrination can be hard to overcome, but it sounds
like you're getting there. Keep up the good work!
Oh, and, FWIW, it has been my experience that the vast majority of people
"do unto others...". That is why con artists can make a decent living:
people are inclined to be helpful and trusting. That makes them easy
targets for a scam.

"Sacred" is a theist word. We're not theists. For all we care, "sacred"
means "ixtampo". No, human life is not ixtampo.

I notice these two things about your first tnread:
>or no answer -- but you'd've thought that I was a Christian zealot trying
>to impose my system of beliefs.
(1) You cross-posted to alt.bitterness. This is a reliable
indicator of somebody who is here to troll, not to discuss,
(2) You made the motives, intelligence, scholarliness, and
reputation of Aquinas and Augustine the topic of conversation,
and barely if at all said anything about their arguments.
You are not serious. You are a waste of time.

how could they be of equal value (regardless of that value)? For
example, I certainly don't regard child sex abusers and mass murderers
as deserving of equal treatment to innocent people who don't commit
said criminal acts.
By the same token, I regard people like Osama Bin Laden (genocide, war
crimes, and child sex abuse advocate) and Charles Manson (mass murderer)
as serious problems for any society as per their contributions, and so I
see no justification for elevating their lives as "valuable to society."

The "Salad Bar Believer" is a well understood phenomena. Like a salad
bar, one can pick and choose exactly what one wants to believe and
bypass and discard those other things.
You don't go along with virgin birth, life after death, and walking on
water? Then just say that it is one of those parables and go on to the
next dish. "Thou shalt not kill" is a good part of the salad bar. I'll
have a double helping of that. But this "Don't covet your neighbor's
ox, nor his ass, nor his wife, (nor his wife's ass!) ...Who needs that?
I'll damn well covet anything I damn please. Doesn't harm anyone.
The ten commandments should be rewritten as the "Four commandments, the
three guidelines, and the three absurdities." You figure out which is
which.
"I am myself a dissenter from all known religions, and I hope that
every kind of religious belief will die out. I do not believe that,
on the balance, religious belief has been a force for good. I regard
it as belonging to the infancy of human reason, and to a stage of
development which we are outgrowing."
