Why not embrace knowledge rather than dismiss it in the manner you have done?

You don't have any more knowledge about god than anyone else does. It's the height of arrogance to think that you're so damn educated and intelligent that you can know the unknowable...

You say you don't really believe in God to begin with, and then you cite his existence as if it is axiomatic. I say you're a theist trying to assume an easily defensible position, myself...

Yep. Those Bible and Koran thumping folks who go out there and tell us they have all the answers and that they got them from these single tomes are trully arrogant.

Indeed.

You shouldn't speculate on things you don't understand...

So enlighten us in that event, what is your stance?

[notyoueither]

I wager 1 quatloo on the answer being agnostic.

Another religious thread by atheists. I find it amusing.

I'd rather not say. I'm curious to see how long it will take Mobius to clue into the already stated fact that I don't really believe in God...

[Provost Harrison]

You've got a funny way of showing your indifference...

[SlowwHand]

You expect Mobius to have a clue? Now, who's delusional?

"I'd rather not say"

What a load of bollocks! You're obviously ashamed of your stance, whatever it is, to be so defensive.

I expect quite the opposite, actually...

Frankly I couldn't give a **** what he is. If he is an atheist, at least he's smarter than you...

Re: The God Delusion

Just because you're an atheist doesn't make you special, there are plenty. Go masturbate to the book some more.

Childishly triumphant? I find his passion, and crude (yet accurate) analogies to be quite refreshing. He lacks the comic genius of Douglas Adams, so he's forced to rely on his knowledge, self-belief in his own ability, and passion in what he's doing.

I'm struggling to see anything wrong in that.

What's wrong in it is that he doesn't understand what he criticises. The caricature of religious faith that he 'argues' against makes me wince (and I'm a devout atheist).

What religion are you, living in India I'm guessing Hindu?

And Drake is I expect a Christian.

And here the two of you are, two people who don't believe in each other's Gods, calling atheists douches...

And I have a FYROMian flag, so clearly I'm Greek Orthodox (I think?), right?
