  1. ***** Sorry bub but Cod discussions from the faithful side are not reality based. That is why they call it faith.

  3. I often wonder if religious folks understand the entire meaning and reason behind "faith". By definition it's not "fact", because if it were, then one's free will would be eliminated. The whole point of faith is to have faith despite the lack of concrete proof - i.e., despite the fact that the point in issue is not a "fact".

  6. ***** No bub. Religious faith is what we are talking about.  "Faith is the surrender of the mind; it's the surrender of reason, it's the surrender of the only thing that makes us different from other mammals," Hitchens said. "It's our need to believe, and to surrender our skepticism and our reason, our yearning to discard that and put all our trust or faith in someone or something, that is the sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith must be the most overrated."

  8. ***** Not subscribing to your delusion is not bigoted. LOL SATAN AS HERO "Well, it's all fiction. But I do enjoy good fiction, (although the bible is not anywhere close to what I'd consider quality reading) so I'll answer this question in the way I review all such fictional characters. God is clearly a tyrant. He has committed many acts of evil, and somehow managed to amass an incredible following. That means God must be the ultimate deceiver. He has painted Satan as the deceiver to disguise his own faults and gain worshipers in a classic manner. If the tyrannical dictator can condemn the good guy and convince enough people, he can get away with much evil. This is a ploy commonly used by skillful politicians and anyone who seeks personal gain at the expense of others. Furthermore, Satan purportedly rebelled against this evil tyrant, even though he was greatly outnumbered and faced an omnipotent being. That, according to our common beliefs, (as we praise military heroes who sacrifice themselves for the good of their nation) is not only admirable, but makes Satan a martyr. Satan is the only deity who truly stands for free will. God threatens us with punishments for not adhering to his wishes. But Satan tells us that we should enjoy our lives and be happy and free to do what we think is right. Satan stands for justice, according to the biblical story, if you read it objectively. If only the story were true, he would be one of the greatest heroes in history, fighting what he surely knew would be a losing battle, but doing so for the sake of the greater good and to provide an example to the rest of us. Just as the United States rebelled against British rule and gained their own freedom, Satan fought for freedom for all angels. Unfortunately, he lost the battle, which is a real tragedy. If I believed in any kind of deity, I would most certainly worship Satan, become his devout follower and take up his noble fight against tyranny. I do not look favourably upon cruel dictators. All hail Satan! The true savior."  That is all made up just like the religious extremist sheepherders made up the skyfairy.

  9. ***** Wow. Not subscribing to you delusion means I am a bigot? That pretty says it all about you Mullah.

  10. ***** Ignore everyone else? Wow. The faithful tell us repeatedly that their cod is omniscient. Are you claiming your skyfairy is not all knowing?

  11. ***** Goodbye Mullah.

  12. ***** I assumed you were one of the faithful period. I did not assume what fantasy you subscribed to.  Thanks again Mullah.

  13. Atheism is as much a "belief system" as not believing in unicorns is a belief system; in other words it's not a belief system and the claim that it is means you are the one who lacks knowledge.
