Hindu prayer in Senate disrupted by Christian woo-woos.

I think this is one of the funniest things about religious people: That by definition they have to disbelieve in the existence of all other religions…

[Elok]

? I believe Hinduism exists, as do Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Scientology. All those other religions, and more, exist. The question is, do you believe in checking over what you wrote to see if it makes sense?

[MOBIUS]

If you wish to follow the pedant's path, then be my guest...

It is a perfectly valid tactic on this forum for avoiding the subject after all.

Yes, those religions exist. The fictitious deities they worship, on the other hand, do not!

That is correct - fictitious things do not exist.

Supernatural entities for whom logic does not apply, however, cannot so easily be pinned down.

'Pulp Fiction' isn't real ?

That's why I found it so unsatisfying.

[Japher]

Yeah, I was a little annoyed to find out John Travolta was still alive.

Many unreal things can be quite satisfying. Use your imagination.

Damn.


I keep getting Anne Widdecombe naked on a unicycle, squashing hamsters.

Sorry. Your reference to something I don't care about went over my head. I'm going to go do some work now.

Are you saying that religion is the illogical belief in the supernatural...

Depends on whether you arbitrarily make them an exception to all rules of reasoning.

You're being fictitiously unreasonable.

Oh no, here she is again.

Yes. Do you think faith is logical?

If you do not attempt to ascribe any natural or mundane qualities to a supernatural entity that follows no rules of reasonsing, I see no problem at all with doing this.

Illogical

adjective

1. Containing fundamental errors in reasoning: fallacious, false, invalid, sophistic, specious, spurious, unsound. See correct, true
2. Not governed by or predicated on reason: irrational, unreasonable, unreasoned. Idiom: out of bounds. See reason

Thank you, that's all I need to know.
