> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lolo \* > \*_and no, I don’t believe \* their isn’t a God, so can that argument._ So you KNOW their [sp] isn’t a God? My esteem goes up for you immensely now that I know you can prove negatives. I wish I could do that ☹ Just look at the way **Ikujinashi’s** amazingly coherent and well-written and reasoned ARGUMENT was treated IN THAT SAME THREAD and then then contrast his style with your style and then try and take a guess as to why one was favored over the other. ---

I’m not religious. > > and no, I don’t \*believe \* their isn’t a God, so can that argument. so, in this context, not not believing in a god is part of your personal belief system anyway. and, therein you are also rejecting other’s beliefs and, defining religion as a shared belief system, their religion. now, hypocracy never helps a point, so you should try examining yourself before fronting your ideas. remember, the burden of proof is always on the side of the one outside the _status quo_, so issuants must have that much better an argument. ps, how old are you, anyway? i’m not trying to pass judgement yet, but you make that quite difficult. ---

Gaudere, nice aliteraton: you’re bucking for a banning, bub. Lolo might have done much better if he looked up the works of people who takes the stance of anti-religion seriously, like Marilyn Manson. If Marilyn sings as well as he writes, there would be probably a lot more new converts under his spell. ---

Don’t have much to say, but I do think I am going to start calling all the religious people I know “cult member” rather than using their names. It’ll be fun. ---

The thing is, _technically_, and I say this as a Christian… Isn’t Christianity basically a really big Messianic cult of Judaism? Or would sect be a better word for it? ---
