Yeah! Just wanted to say I’m right on board with you, Noxas. Good riddance to the lot of it. Also, why is it called religion? Most people only do it once!
I’ve no idea who Naxos is, but the OP of this thread is indeed an immature asshole and I’m glad for the opportunity to say so in such a matter-of-fact manner because the observation is well and truly deserved and needs no fanfare or embellishment.
Really? Cite!
There’ve been plenty of people saying they wouldn’t worship god even if there was evidence for his existence, but that’s not the same thing.
Well, yes, but that’s because he’s a teenage boy. They’re *all *obnoxious assholes. I know. I was one.
I shudder to think how much more obnoxious I’d have been if I had a Dope to post to:D
I and others have said that we can’t imagine anything that would qualify as objective evidence of God. For one thing, the standard version of God is both logically contradictory (and thus outright impossible) thanks to all those omnis, but runs right into the Problem of Evil. And as well, how could we possibly distinguish between God and something equally powerful that isn’t God? How can we distinguish between God and far lesser beings that are good enough to fool us, for that matter?
“God” is such an extreme claim that I can’t imagine evidence good enough for it. With all those “omnis” and all the other bizarre claims made of it it’s pretty much the most extreme claim possible. There’s always going to be a more plausible answer than “God” to explain any imaginable evidence.
Now I have heard the words of truth, well and truly spoken.
God, yes!
And so far the only one frothing is Naxos, the rest have been ridiculously polite.
That line about “the opium of the people” is hard to beat, though.
Someone go open it, but it probably won’t stay as polite as this Pitting.
What I’m wondering is: is Naxos single-quoting because he wants to count-pad or because he can’t figure out that there is a multiquote button and/or get off his high horse long enough to search for information on it or ask?
Just FYI and in case it’s the second, if you want to respond to several posts, click on the ["+] button at the bottom right of a post, then click the same button on any other posts you want to respond to, use the quote button for the last one in the group.
Is too!
(Not because I personally hold the position, but I’m willing to advocate it in order to further the interesting debate.)
It’s so easy to win a debate when you can just repeatedly declare that everyone who disagrees with you is objectively stupid.
Cutis and Naxos seem to be two sides of the same coin to me.
Both are ‘true believers’, just in inverse crap is all. Clearly both have drunk the respective Koolaid.
And both, are completely predictable, which makes them both a couple of yawners, as far as I’m concerned.
Come back when you can think outside your delusions, k?
That’s just stupid.
Naxos has not proven religion is a disease. Nor has the OP proven that Naxos is actually from an
I’ll send you the bill for my screen. It was a very nice screen until that spit-take.
Naxos, meet Der. Der, meet Naxos.
Careful, you fool! They’ll merge into the unholy binary demon… Trixonosis!
I’d be more worried about them crossing the streams…

I’m sorry to barge in, is this where the Fundamentalist Atheist meeting is?
The undercooked pork disease*?!!! My God**, man, the danger is worse than I thought. I’d rather fight off the zombie apocalypse*** than give up my saute’d apple pork chops****!
*I know it’s spelled with a “ch”, but they’re worms. Worms can’t spell.
**Am I still allowed to say “God”, here? It’s not worse than “cat declawing” is it?
***OK, so the dead didn’t rise from the grave last week, but the rapture is coming!
**** If you want the recipe, PM me. Hint: the secret is apples
As annoying as naxos may be, I’m having a real hard time mustering up any sympathy for the poor christians having to face his onslaught of attacks.
Yawn I’ll bite, who is it that you are going to claim to be or know?
