But the reason some people chose the profession of law and others didn’t, was because the attorneys were simply more competitive. ROTFLMAO! Mr attorney sir, I do believe you have adequately proven the first part of your second paragraph. ---

G-d smiting the first born of Egypt because they were the wrong theists? The Church splitting into Catholic and Orthodox because they couldn’t agree on the same branch of a theist world view? Henry the VIII creating yet another world view because the existing world view didn’t allow for divorce? Hitler exterminating 6 million fellow theists to move one step closer to the ultimate world view? Is Buddhism a theist world view? ---

> [@Canadjun](#): > > “helping the atheists become more organized”???!!! Are you this condescending in real life? Sometimes, when you’re practicing, it really is important to project a powerful image. If you can do that, it’s more likely that you will pick up another client. ---

Sorry Pchaos, but the impreciseness of your language, horrible grammar, lack of thought-process cohesion, and outright disdain of logic makes it doubtful that you work in the legal profession in any capacity. To add to the disbelief, being hooked on those arcade games during L1 would put you around 50-60 years old with 30+ years of working as a lawyer. ---

> [@pchaos](#): > > I’m a Catholic, and I’m not here to proselytize, but I do believe that if atheists really had what they considered to be the truth. They would be more active in promoting their agenda. Then I think you need to go back to RCIA. I’m an ex-Catholic who _extensively_ studied Catholic theology and doctrine, even to the point of going to a Catholic university and taking theology courses, plus learning to read the NT in the original, before finally abandoning my faith, and you, sir, don’t sound like _any_ Catholic I’ve ever known, and I still know quite a few devout, orthodox ones. You sound more like a lapsed Baptist trying to pretend to be a Catholic, based on what your childhood church’s pastor knew of Catholicism. My mother’s RCIA students know more about Catholicism than you appear to. OK, My vote is not-attorney, not-Christian, just a troll trying to fake it for his own (incredibly stupid) purposes. ---

The first thing you learn as a young attorney is that when opposing counsel says that you don’t have a case. Guess what? You have a case that is worth a lot. ---

You have a case that is worth a lot. Ya know - I’m just calling a moron a moron - you sir, are a moron. I’m not really irritiated as much as cannot fucking believe you are still holding on to that bullshit after all these pages of people telling you the exact opposite. If an opposing counsel says you ‘have no case’ - you might want to review the case itself - the opposing counsel could be bluffing - or he could be saying this will be a collosal waste of time - the only thing it may be worth in the long run is running up legal bills. What is the ‘atheist agenda’ ??
