Was God the greatest casualty?

[Imran Siddiqui]

You may want to start arguing in good faith. You can't reject the premise and then attempt to make overarching conclusions on your interpretation of the premise.

No. Hope this helps.

Why, was god chasing you around Cardiff?

We just decided it would be fun to spend Christmas in an Islamic country. It almost worked, but we kept bumping into these Coptic Christians all over the place and had to suffer Coptic Christmas in Alexandria over a week after 'official'(?) Christmas...

Yet more reason God doesn't exist - his followers can't even agree on the day his son was born.

Cardiff is the Detroit of Europe.

We don't have a massive car industry in Cardiff. But then again, neither does Detroit anymore...

Men, actually, but from the omnipotent-and-just-god angle, it doesn't matter whether it is geo-physics or a political agency that causes a human disaster, the hypothetical-supreme-being gives the nod - according to believers.

Yes, men actually. Not only do you blame God for something that you have no understanding of whatsoever, but you blame God for something that men did. Blaming God is vain, but blaming him for what you do yourself is another matter. It's like punching yourself in the face over and over, but then when someone else punches you in the face you cry out.

I didn't realise you had this theistic-al thing going on, Kid, but it partly explains why you're such a lousy 'communist'. I think I'll nip up the road to pay a visit to Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery tomorrow, kneel down in front of his grave and offer a prayer for you.

I'm obviously no longer a communist.

During what people would call good times people tend to get separated from God over time. Tribulations either make people closer to God of drive them in the other direction depending on the individual. After disasters human societies tend to operate much better and people value life more etc... This tends to be the theme of most religions.

I don't think I want to read this thread.

[MOBIUS]

It's basically Kid and Felch coming across as religious nutters, with Imran chiming in and making himself look like an ass.

But I did get my main question answered, which is that idiots will always believe in God, no matter how much evidence is given to the contrary...

We're still working on whether God is a c*nt or not.
