Belief, faith but no proof. That sums up this thread.
A fundamentalist using a Captain Picard image was pretty funny.
No such thing as 'the devil'. It's fictional. Like Captain Picard, and Noah, and Santa and Satan.
When I was a kid at school being taught by Catholic nuns, it would just get you a day sitting a corner with a Dunce's hat on. Thank god for progress?
Then you have no urge to follow your biblical directive which makes you, by sheer definition, a religious hypocrite.
Well, that shows that Jesus was wrong, and therefore not God. We have proof postiive that a world wide flood did not exist.
That was my feeling too.
Have you ever known a professed Catholic to admit not being 100% sure that god exists ?
A few hundred years ago, admitting even the smallest amount of doubt would get you burned at the stake.
That's just a bald rationalization to explain why people don't buy into your imaginary friend. It's meant to protect your feelings instead of discover the reality. Because if you ask people why they reject your god, they're not going to say they want to sin (which has no meaning without a god belief), they're going to tell you the actual reason why they don't buy into it, because there is no evidence for it.
But the religious don't like that fact so they try to spin it in other ways.
After 925 posts, the OP thesis has been demonstrated. By the atheist posts themselves.
QEDOnce a profound cry of despair worthy of the deepest respect, atheism, under the influence of Dawkins, Dennett, Harris and Krauss (formerly Hitchens), the self-styled "New Atheists" of the new millennium -- under this pernicious influence, I say, atheism has become a strident exercise in ignorance, by ignorance, and for ignorance.
Some of the stupidest assertions ever made by Man have been made in the last fifteen years in the spirit and letter of New Atheism by educated and intelligent people.
Atheism today is self-contradictory mental pabulum for those incapable of independent critical thinking.
Atheism today is conflated with thoughtless anti-theism without a shred of self=awareness.
Atheism today is anti-religionism scared witless by the tragic historical event of 9/11.
Atheism today is without a single argument
Atheism today is without the courage of its convictions, in vociferous in self-denial that it even constitutes a belief.
Atheism today is just surly, mean-spirited lack of imagination on a mission.
Atheism today is a tale told by an idiot in the mantle of a skeptic.
The prosecution rests.
