    Kuci - So be it. If refusing to smile and politely nod in the face of such absurdities gives me a "bad name", I'll gladly take the label.

      You didn't just "refuse to smile and nod", you went out of your way to post a [lame] troll for the religious people on this board. And when several atheists think your complaint is silly, maybe you should rethink it...

        Um, these folks see the Bible as historical reality, though; feel free to prove them wrong, but since it is historical reality to them I don't see how it's any different.

        Regardless, some people are superstitious, even if any given person isn't; doing things to avoid bothering other people is considered to be a good thing where I come from, regardless of how nutty they may or may not be ...

              There's a road nearby designated as State Road 666. One of my competitors had his clinic on that road. He moved.

                No chance there's a cemetary on that road, right?

                  Sorry, should have realized it was me that you tried to insult - it would after all be a bit rude to try to chase Wezil out of his own thread.

                  It seems that you are a bit annoyed because I consider all religion to be supersticiousness - even threatening with calling atheism something nasty if I insist.

                  Well, the concept of religion implies that there can only be one true religion - it would be a bit messy if there were several gods involved in manipulating each persons life (especially if there were several monotheist gods, though it would work for poly ditto).

                  Please tell us wich one is the true religion and thereby declaring all the other supersticiousness. Oh, and please don't waste time on using the argument that they just are different expressions of the same - after all, that would fail for polytheist religions.
                  With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                      We have several roads, places, willages, towns etc named after thor, odin and other names connected to the asa religion, but I have never heard about anyone move due to this - I guess that I probably could find some churches on such roads, certainly in willages .

                            Are you equivocating, or just silly? If you just wanted to start a standard-issue pointless a/theist fight based on the truth or falsehood of the bible, there was no need to drag these folks from Louisiana into it. And if that's what you're trying to start a fight over, I refuse. I might be unemployed, but even my time is worth more than that.

                            BlackCat: See what I just said to Wezil, above. Also, your latest post to me bears a suspicious resemblance to MOBIUS's usual "argument." You might want to have your doctor check your gall bladder the next time you're in for an exam, make sure you aren't being poisoned by your own bile or something. Actually, make an appointment especially for that. You don't want him to catch it too late.

                                Thank you for your concern for my health, accept the fact that I have cast an evil spell upon you because you compared me with Mobby, and then please answer my quite reasonable question.
