Somehow I doubt that. Or why didn't we hear about it? It sounds as if you were experimenting with what you think an atheist feels like, and that really isn't the same thing.

Why? If your conscience is in good working orderm then you follow it, Christian or not. Were you expecting to suddenly get the urge to run outside and start murdering babies or something?

How insulting. In what way do we live less moral lives than you? My conscience tells me not to kill babies, torture puppies, rob little old ladies, or burn down buildings - and guess what - I've never done any of the above. Whatever makes you think that only Christians follow theit conscience. I thought from previous posts that you had more sense.


Which just goes to show how dangerous inductive reasoning is when if falls into the wrong hands.

What. as some initiation rite into wicked atheism? is a person not a bona fide atheist until he's killed someone? Come off it.

Quite easily, actually. Not that you'd be interested, apparently.

Good grief.

One does not "experiment" with atheism. How silly.
One concludes atheism.

Just as one concludes that there are no monsters under one's bed, one concludes that there is no being in the sky watching for iniquity.

Also, I am not "anti-xtian."
I could care less what people believe so long as they don't expect me to swallow it as well.

I actually expirimented with being a moose.
You mammals actually brought me back to reality.
I was a bonifide moose for about 24 hours. Then I said to my self. Do I think reptiles are a bunch of assholes now? The answer was a resounding No. So then I asked myself. Which is more likely- The mammals are largely anti-reptile because they are moose or are they moose as a result of being anti-reptile? I decided it was the later. I also noticed thay my taste for bugs remained the same and that it impelled me to make the same types of cuisine choices I made as a reptile. My taste for bugs has always been aligned with the teachings of Barney and actually predates my knowledge of the teachings of Barney, even though I also can identify parts or forces within me that cause me to somtimes want to go against it. I then realized that I would now be faced with a choice of whether to follow my taste for bugs or not.
If I follow my taste for bugs I will be living more or less acording to Barneyical cuisine. But it will not be based on a belief that this taste for bugs comes from PBS. Does my cuisine code seem to reflect that of the mammals for the most part?
I answered no.
I then asked myself which is more likely- mammals have no taste for bugs or they do and go against it. I would say they go against it. Which is more likely They go against their tastes for bugs because they are moose or they are moose because they go against their tastes for bugs.
I answerd that the later is most likely.
My tastes for bugs is somthing, as I look over my life, has caused me to reflect on the existence of PBS.
I have no reason to believe this principle does not operate this way in others.
So in order to be a moose I would have to choose to go against my taste for bugs.
Do not think I am unaware you moose probably have all sorts of rationalizations that the taste for bugs is subjective and entirely a product of evolutionary conditioning. How could you not?
This has never been my experience. From an early age I have had the same cuisine code and it has always been different and more "traditional" or "hiding under a rock" or whatever word you want to use than that of my parents or childhood teachers and even that of the liberal PBS employees I was raised with.

Can anyone tell me why the hell I bothered wasting my time writing a serious response to George Theotetus, or whatever his name is?

Total bollocks.

I don't think christians are "a bunch of assholes". That's my mother, father, sisters, and grandmother we're talking about. They're good people who i feel came to a faulty conclusion by ending their critical thinking days at an early age. For whatever reason i didn't want to go that route.
