come on aquila,

didnt you read the evil atheist handbook. we are all supposed to worship Doherty and persecute poor radorth.


Get with the program.



Seriously though, what I dont understand is how many christians cant seem to understand that atheism is not a religion and that we dont have a set of dogma to believe in and no holy books either.

Harumi,

The concept of an atheist god is no more contradictory than the concept of a virus that infests without producing any visible symptoms. (Not that theism is a disease.)

As for getting rid of the atheist gods, you would have to convert to some theistic religion.

Harumi

Wow, you really are weird.

I'm a bit busy though. Can't you do it for me?

What gods do you believe in? I recall somewhere that it was the Roman gods. So why?

The Naked Mage

Yeah, right. On both counts.

In a nutshell:

My spiritual experiences are of a deity of the past, one who wants sameness and reversions to previous states of affairs. These spiritual experiences have a lot of congruency with my empirical experiences. And the Roman pantheon, unlike most (including the Greek), includes a goddess of the past, Postverta. Therefore, I concluded that my deity of the past was the same as Postverta and is in fact a Roman deity.

Do you really think the atheist gods would listen to one of the few guys ever to blow their cover? I don't.

Harumi

Ojuice:

Well, you'll never know if you don't try now, do you?

And how do you know they're atheist gods? Atheists don't acknowledge their existence. That's gotta stick in their craw, that they're doing all this and playing pranks on people who don't give a damn.

What if it's your god who's playing the pranks, huh?

Where is that place? I'd like to visit it.

So yesterday I was walking and chewing gum at the same time, and on the sidewalk I saw another wad of chewing gum. Does this mean I need to worship the god called Bazooka? Is his holy text that little comic that comes with the holy gum?

I'm not upset at all. All evidence points to a natural universe. There is zero evidence that your god exists.

You have to keep trying to find ways to deflect that simple fact.

Keep trying.

Radorth

And for so many here, less than zero that he doesn't, apparently. You don't happen to be a JM'er? They like to pretend there's no evidence Jesus existed even in the flesh. One can only speculate why they seek the comfort of such irrational and cynical conjecture. I trust you rely on better evidence.

You cannot prove God does not exist, therefore the atheist who says "There is no God" is speaking by faith. Meanwhile some less omniscient and humbler Christians know full well where the world would be without the God Jesus called "our Father." We have gobs of evidence it would all be like Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, or Iraq. And then there's those converted gang members who would have stolen all my cars by now if it weren't for the miraculous change Jesus' word wrought in their hearts. Thanks, but there is no benefit to your faith.

In fact there is far more evidence that quality of life is proportional to the number of praying Christian grandmothers, than there is that God doesn't exist. You can't begin to prove your theory.
