  1. Religionists think that the choice is between human reason and divine revelation. But for atheists - divine revelation IS human choice. There is no god, so there can only be the historical recordings of previous human beings. People wrote the bible, not a god. It’s actually a choice of which human reasoning you prefer.

  3.  @ADBDemi  No, you said I have no choice, maybe you could explain that then. Because to me people that have to rely on a book written by Middle Eastern desert tribespeople in the Bronze Age don’t strike me as having much choice.

  5.  @MissCV  Thanks but I have a kind of 3 strikes and you’re out sort of approach to that kind of thing. Life’s too short to waste it and, unlike our friend, I don’t think I’m heading to Shangri La after it.

  6.  @ADBDemi  Your choice, and I’m happy to inform you I don’t think you’re going to hell or be denied some kind of wonderful afterlife because you think it.

  7.  @ADBDemi  No, you didn’t say that, but now I know where you’re coming from I have no desire to pit my clearly insufficient intellect against your obvious towering mind. You enjoy your day now, OK?
