LOL....It's precisely like him.

He's a feather-weight duster.
The irony being you are not posting any substance, in the last few pages majority of your posts been one liners taking pot-shot at others. You are allowed to have another opinion, however delusional it is, but this is a discussion thread, not an insult thread. Just because you dont agree with others it doesnt mean you are allowed to put them down, what HARKER wrote is correct. I have asked so many questions here and i received replies which contain everything else but the answer to my question. BT (obviously Bennett) has time and time again insulted his way out of a situation when i asked him over 50 times if he believes homosexuality is a sin like rapists like Jesus said in NT. But yeah whatever, the questions are apparently annoying lol

LOL....Loving that chip on yer shoulder there Harks....Bruised your old ego pretty badly hey!:)

Just for clarity's sake there Mr The Unforgiven....I've torn this try-hard wannabe wind-bag a new fundament, on more than one occasion.....So much so, in fact, he was squealing for me to be banned for 'hi-jacking' & 'dominating' another related thread.

In other words: This former m#d, is full of shit.:rolleyes:
More words and nothing is said..........but you do come across as a real tough guy.......It's frightening actually. :)
Procrastinator by name and by nature. Arthur or Martha, who knows?

Read over your posts and you'll see that you say a lot.......but don't really say anything. Just more words.
Prove me wrong and answer the question posed to you for starters otherwise it just fluff.....pretty words....some quotes but nothing real.

It's unfortunate that this thread is populated largely by non-theists and the couple of theists that do stick their head in, don't do their argument any favours.

At the end of the day it's a battle they just can't win, other than in their own minds. It must be frustrating and again.....No proof.....No chocolates.

It's the "meta" in the physics that will always be the problem,along with the "super" in the natural.
For many of us around the age of reason,the meta and super get piffed in the trash can of adolescence,unfortunately for some,the magic remains,it's the Mulder syndrome.

Can you please provide evidence of this please,I think this claim needs further scrutiny than just mere speculative fart sniffing from your fine self.

You see. The spotlight comes on and the melts begin.

For what its worth, I don't care to get personal with individuals....although I know I have, but if there is something to be discussed let's throw it around and not just play with words and attack each other.

Don't get me wrong because I'll attack the abomination we know as religion, until my dying breath but if the argument swings hard enough to convince me with facts and not fairy tales, we should be all ears.

Just waiting for you to say something

But you've stated that you will attack religion to your dying breathe so just looks like we have another who's not interested in discussion ..just come on hear to tear down one position hoping to validate some path to self enlightenment that's probably not working out too well.

You see what I mean.....but O.K.


I recently recalled what someone very dear said to me and on reflection it summed up a lot about religion.

She said, "I hate that you've made me question the God I believe in"
This is from a page back and I found very interesting. At the time it opened my eyes to the way some people may actually feel as her response was genuinely heart-felt.

What do you think?

Could not give a rats
Of course not......Now tell me about some special bible verses will you. I'm getting a little tired and need something to put me to sleep. :)

It's unfortunate that these 'representatives' offer absolutely nothing in debate. It's not their fault. God made them that way. Right?

Oh look here. There's been an addition to the original post I quoted.

Religion enslaves minds. That what it set out to do and has somehow got away with it for way too many years.
Religion instilled fear into young minds. How do I know? I was raised a Catholic but had to turn my back on it at the expense of being ostracized.

Religion is no longer required for any path to self enlightenment. There are many more sincere methods of doing so for those that need validation.
Preaching lies to make one comfortable is patently wrong. I would 'hope' you're not doing that as you will wake to this......enlightenment.

So life can be a bit of a shit. So what?
Better live by way of an ugly truth than a insincere, yet comfortable lie. Horses for courses......but people are coming to this realisation.
Do the graphs on any Western countries for religion and you'll find this to be the case......and if it's not.....then God help us all. :)

For anti-religious-types, their rather self-righteous what.;)....Not to mention appallingly conceited.

It's rather hilarious watching know-nothings betray their ignorance in acting like know-alls.

Give up the delusions & surrender to the Gods flogs.

Such a divine comedy.

Gods? which one? do tell me as a pantheist how come you reckon god is a personal thing like christianity?

No one is betraying anyone here, its fairdinkum, the couple of thesists are unwilling to play the ball cause they dont like the questions asked.

Once Francis collins said, "there are no dumb questions, just stupid answers". You need to take a note what intelligent people think. Why was it so hard to answer my question? my questions were straight forward, yet theists wont answer my question.

As i said, the only one betraying nature here is you, by thinking you know the objective truth, when you know nothing.

Come on time to come clean on your panthiest. If I was going to assume something I would say it is not at odds with the Dreamtime? Only guessing.
Anyway so God is the universe and he created himself or existence is God and God has always been ?
Do panthiest get together and talk about stuff. Do they have a pin up guy etc

Know-nothings, ignorant and know-alls are his accusations, while he proves himself incapable of stringing a coherent sentence together.

In pantheism universe without a beginning or an end. The universe just existed in a different form prior to our known big bang

I.E God & Universe both eternal & inextricably entwined.

Though Pantheism on Earth pertains more to the cosmic life-force of energy itself....Which pervades our entire planet, yet nowhere else. That we can ascertain thus far, anyhow.

Well i do believe everything is connected and we are all the same if we lose our ego. We are all a part of the universe. So do tell why do you often stand up for the christian intervening god when in pantheism, we are a part of god actually? god of christianity is a separate entity

Whereabouts exactly?

I have never advocated for a transcendent God....Anyone who knows the history of the transition from Paganism to Christianity couldn't.

What I do defend are the faithful & their beliefs against the atheist onslaught....Come on man, you already know this.
