K.I.S.S (Keep it simple stupid!) :kiss: Yeah, do your own research lazy bones/brains, as has been typed many times on TPF, we cannot spoon feed everyo...

Oh shit! I hate/love tests like this. I am so good/bad at them, especially when written by a wordsmith. F*** it, I'm just gonna go for it, I say (G) a...
June 09, 2023 at 09:57
I think the content of your post that I took the above quotes from is fair enough but I think the assumptions made in your last sentence are inaccurat...
June 09, 2023 at 09:46
He did not equate them, he compared them. He simply tried to explain to you that it is not fanatical or militant and is in fact 'reasonable' to sugges...
June 09, 2023 at 09:24
Could'nt resist this one @"Jamal" Do you think this statement by Janus makes him a fanatic? A militant atheist who is a threat to innocent theists eve...

I have a friend who has been a friend for most of my life. He had an arranged marriage and has two sons from that marriage. Over the years he has expl...

I agree, I am bored to.
June 08, 2023 at 21:47
Why did you choose to ignore this part of my rationale for the emotion of human love? Is it because that part was obviously nothing to do with 'feelin...
June 08, 2023 at 19:46
Are you looking for the opinion of others regarding this quote, before you offer your own? Is another way of putting this: If you love someone then yo...
June 08, 2023 at 17:06
It would be better if you attempted to answer the questions you were asked before asking your own questions. I will be more balanced, and answer your ...
June 08, 2023 at 16:56
More educated in how to prevent the more nasty affects religion can have on a person individually and on the society you are trying to exist within, a...
June 08, 2023 at 15:31
I know most members on this site are not too keen on cheerleading but that was a 'knock out' sentence imo. I think even William Lane Craig would have ...
June 08, 2023 at 08:43
Whaaaaat? Do you really feel like that? Is that unenlightened or just sooooooo sad? If you truly believe 'caring is not rational,' than how would you ...
June 08, 2023 at 08:29
No one on this thread, has ever suggested banning religion or theism or theosophism, that would only increase it's status and offer it an underground ...
June 08, 2023 at 08:21
I think all of the frustration is coming from your words, not mine. You only offer pantomime style responses, you offer no supporting evidence or exam...
June 08, 2023 at 07:50
:rofl: I love that logic as akin to the kind of logic peddled to people by monsters such as M Thatcher via her admiration for Smith. When will all the...
June 07, 2023 at 17:57
Perhaps that's because I don't take things at face value. I consider the possible ramifications of my personal decisions, on the lives and well being ...
June 07, 2023 at 17:44
Your bad attempts to goad me are just that, bad attempts, but then you do use a two faced god as your representation image. Perhaps you are just tryin...
June 07, 2023 at 09:08
I would put Gandhi or perhaps such as Martin Luther King as exemplar lives that you attempt to describe above. I consider both of these men to be exce...
June 07, 2023 at 08:23
You are correct, I absolutely don't agree. Pay up, You lost your bet, perhaps donate some of your money to the on-line atheist community. I have been ...

:up:
June 07, 2023 at 07:41
Well thanks for the info but I think I will leave that personal investigation of IMX for now. I will happily work cheek by jowl with theists of any va...
June 06, 2023 at 22:04
There is a lot of 'netiquette' guidelines out there. There are even ones for in-house use, written by a particular company or organisation. A guidelin...
June 06, 2023 at 21:52
I used to teach netiquette to classes from S1 to S3, and you can use capitals for emphasis rather than as an indication of shouting. I try never to sh...
June 06, 2023 at 21:30
Well, I expect every current member of YOUR site, is rushing right now to confirm your request. I doubt I will even have enough time to type this resp...
June 06, 2023 at 21:16
Quote me your idea of my fanaticism dusty!
June 06, 2023 at 21:07
I am glad I typed something in this thread you are not offended by! You accused me of being a fanatic Mr Jamal. Quote where, or have the honesty to wi...
June 06, 2023 at 21:06
Perhaps. I am trying to 'appreciate' where you are coming from in your support of non-literal theism. 'God is love,' is the only offering you seem to ...
June 06, 2023 at 21:03
So you are declaring for Hanover's pov, so what? Well if that happens then I have brought you and Mr Hanover closer to each other and god. Would that ...
June 06, 2023 at 20:54
What do you mean? That's no answer at all. Are you playing the 'redraft the question' or 'avoid the question,' game of theism? If god 'willed' the uni...
June 06, 2023 at 20:32
Your love for me of course! :kiss:
June 06, 2023 at 20:04
That's very ..... human of you, well done! :up: Now you are making assumptions about me. Would it confuse you, if I said some of my best friends are t...
June 06, 2023 at 20:03
Yeah, as nice as Mr Ehrman is and as expert as he demonstrably is regarding theism. His deconversion remains a little incomplete, but then, it's a big...
June 06, 2023 at 19:49
In what way is this different from the moral code of an atheist humanist? The world has over 8 billion people in it and we need a global system that i...
June 06, 2023 at 19:42
Give me one of YOUR examples of a theistic claim, that might be made by a non-literal theist? Your example from the non-denominational church (a.k.a '...
June 06, 2023 at 19:25
We agree on that at least. So what is it concerned with that is representative of theism? You seem to be trying to find some 'pointless' use for the c...
June 06, 2023 at 19:10
And it one or more decide to declare their god variant REAL, regardless of what is stated or written by anyone? Then what?
June 06, 2023 at 18:53
What conviction level do you personally assign to the proposal that the supernatural has one or more existents?
June 06, 2023 at 18:35
So why not recommend the final step and recommend that if you are a theist or you are religious or you are a theosophist then you are irrational, as y...
June 06, 2023 at 18:04
Progress allows us to focus on higher order tasks than before. Would you still rather clothes were washed in the local stream in comparison with using...
June 06, 2023 at 18:00
So how does that particular church, explain the maniac god of the OT, who commanded the ethnic cleansing of some tribes, sends she bears to kill child...
June 06, 2023 at 17:25
Right back at you! With bells attached pilgrim!
June 06, 2023 at 16:57
No, that's human wonder and awe at the universe we observe. 'Look at the trees!' or wow! look at the stars, is not evidence for the existence of god. ...
June 06, 2023 at 16:56
BUT they DO! Constantly, they preach, many of them will actually knock on your door, at home! The decisions made by religious organisations and the ma...

Are these the types of atheists you are referring to? https://youtu.be/YBkZQev9LYU https://youtu.be/k6PWFvzKl3I https://youtu.be/QJ0M-gEGFMI I can lis...
June 06, 2023 at 15:40
I have read the bible cover to cover, twice. First in my mid 20's, next in my mid 30's. I am 59 now. I was an atheist before, during and after. There ...
June 06, 2023 at 15:27
I fully advocate, that we need to provide high quality, free, education for all citizens from cradle to grave. I think we both agree that YOU should h...
June 05, 2023 at 18:28
I read Leviticus 19:16 and I found out a little about Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan and scanned some of the content from his book on the link you posted. S...
June 05, 2023 at 17:49
This quote above is imo, an admission that your current theistic viewpoints are completely petrified/ossified. That's fine by me. I agree that no matt...
