So that's what a theist calls someone who notices dishonesty and contempt done in the name of religion.

How very Christian.

Iam, We can ping pong this back and forth forever. It is after all what your rhetoric relies upon. No straight answers to straight questions. Just more and more of the same contradiction, ambiguity and ignorance in your responses - as you say, and which I agree, are also in the Bible. Just...

Just another churchy way of saying, the Catholic Church has had to bring itself, albeit kicking and screaming for a century and a half, into admitting the theory of evolution is now no longer the devil's own work against all it's own previous protestations (is that word allowed in the same...

Well Jem, I don't think there was ever any doubt that you are superstitious. But perhaps you should judge yourself in the here and now rather than in some imaginary future world. It's interesting in that description about your imaginary friends , with "God's love" and "God's standards"...

Jem's religious. You only need read his posts to see prayer doesn't work.

But everything in the universe categorically doesn't have a beginning and a cause in the way you explain those things.. Your beliefs then appear to be based on selected known facts which you personally choose. New facts present themselves continually. Especially in the last 10 years. There are...

Nothing is certain but there are facts! Isn't it the case you are the one saying in so many words: " nothing can exist without a beginning". May I ask, what sort of certainty do you assign to that ? But seeing you did ask, I'd say I'm in the camp that cannot imagine even finding any facts...

" I don't believe that the universe was designed by an intelligence. " "It was random mutation, a bunch of carbon oxygen and other stuff for that mutation to work on, and a little bit of everything evolved. Some things did better than others. Those things are more populous than the things...

Fine and thank you for your help. According to your fix , that's definitely a 'couldn't be' then , as far as first cause goes. Either by the Universe or by a Creator. I think you may have helped the theist understand why they could step away from that superficial first cause Creator...

If that is so, then here is a 'couldn't be' to also consider. Your contention is; Nothing can exist without a beginning A first cause has no beginning. Therefore a first cause cannot exist. Then God as a first cause.... is no "could be" or "had to be". Surely, It's a couldn't be.

yeah , sure you do. You write things that are accurate in your dreams - Jem. Shouting liar at everyone doesn't prove a thing, other than you are obviously frantic and desperate in your childish responses. ...."I said they pointed out evidence of design." Yes, and you are always...

Expecting me to justify your own statement is one way to avoid the truth and the questions I asked you. Deceit. An elaborate poetic image in the form of your own personal religion. What you are doing. You can start to recognize that reality , or construct more deceit as you would normally...

There is truth, though what you are spinning has been seen many times before. Truth is, it's just the same old religious based lie, fraud and deceit . With all your contradiction, ambiguity and ignorance , are you really expecting to make that lie sound like truth? You can't even...

Indeed. Any book full of farfetched, highly implausible folk tales and theo-fiction, are normally full of contradiction and ambiguity. The Bible is no exception. Still according to you, 80% of all the words attributed to Jesus in the NT Bible are not what he said, but up to 20% might be...

You previously, wrongly assigned a Nobel Prize to what you referred to as a " top scientists". The "top scientists" stated himself , in a video you clumsily supplied in support of your infantile argument, that he doesn't agree the universe is due to intelligent design. So then you...

Well erm, ok Barth, buts that's like me asking you what does the formal methodology concerning how to apply reason to the study of fish tell you about things that actually live in the sea? Then you reply, the formal study of fish and fanciful imaginations are both based on faith. They are...

On reflection that was somewhat uncalled for. You are generally respectful in your replies and I was not so in making that response. I apologize Iam . Nevertheless, all you are saying against the fact that Jesus Christ of the New Testament is not all peace and light, but on the contrary...

That you can't employ -a formal methodology concerning how to apply reason- to Fairies, Mythical Beasties, Fire Breathing Dragons, Greek Gods and God ....tells you what exactly ? That God is different !?

Not everyone has faith in something. The definition of faith is " A strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny" No one has to have any faith that the sun is at the center of the solar system. You have your own basic understanding which can be formed into...
