you know what i find entertaining, the faithless spend more time questioning the faith of the faithful then the faithful question the lack of faith of the faithlesss..

Which suggests at least the faithless being more inquiring, are perhaps likely to be more open minded and therefore generally a little more realistic.
Doesn't question curiosity & research = information?

Quote from FeenixRizin:


perhaps i should have thrown "hope" in there, perhaps you'd understand ....


i'll expand upon that ... IS A BELIEF IN HOPE A BELIEF IN GOD?
More...


Nope. A belief in hope is a belief in hope.
God is a different word altogether and the word hope is not a very concise explanation for God anyway. It's just more of that wishful thinking which bronks came out with earlier.

Personally if I only had HOPE to work with, I would HOPE there is no God because as it is described, God is nothing more than a megalomaniacal murdering narcissist and would need to be summarily dispatched for the benefit of all concerned.

hey - tks for the endorsement KTS :)

And what is the source of your new and improved descriptions of God?
 
Non Judeo-Christian sources...

Expand you mind, read some books, there is more than the Judeo-Christian concept of God...

And those other ideas are not new, and they need no improvement...

What credibility would books written by mortals have on the description of God? Such books would essentially be about themselves and their musings and nothing more. Any one person is as much of an expert on Celestial Teapots as the next guy.
 
You asked, I answered...

The ET atheists are stuck in a Judeo-Christian concept of God...

Especially stu...
