Is any one else on these boards an atheist?

My mistake. Looks like d'Nile is still flowing, just not particularly deep.

Ah, yes. But at least I can read and understand them. And unlike some in the present company, I can admit when I'm wrong, too. It's not a very difficult skill to learn. Give it a try sometime.

And no, you didn't miss a smilie. One didn't escape from you here either; although the point probably did.

Does the wherefore really matter, though?

That was rather easy - would you like a shovel to dig yourself out of the hole you just fell in?.:inquisitive: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

Too funny. You seem to think you've been clever. That never ceases to amuse me. It's like watching monkeys in the zoo. You feel rather sad for them; but you still laugh.

Shhh. Redleg wants to have a micturating contest; but he doesn't understand that he's using defective equipment. :wink: (<-- that was a smilie, in case Redleg was wondering)

Not what I meant. You can keep your schoolyard argument with him to yourself. Everyone around here has done it before.

We're supposed to believe you possess a skill which you never practice? Really now, your comeback was pretty lame. What's the matter, is dictionary.com down or something? I can explain my previous post to you, if it's really necessary. It was multil-levelled too. I expect I wasted it. Ah, well. :shrug:

Pssst, by the way, it's anonymous not annoymous. :laugh4:

Since I never claimed to be a big speller, it seems your right on track on showing that you also have a learning disablity along with a rather serious superiority complex

Rather amusing isn't.:inquisitive: :laugh4: :laugh4:

You don't need that shovel anylonger - your up a backhole

Yes, it is amusing. The one who can't spell even after seeing it at the end of post after post is saying I have a learning disability? Definitely amusing. And it's not a superiority complex if one is demonstrably superior. The proper term for that is fact. :wink:

Haven't seen a demonstration of superior ability yet. However, I have seen something else demonstrated multiple times by yourself .:juggle2: :laugh4:

The dog that's just been shown a magic trick usually doesn't get it either (to paraphrase Bill Hicks).

This calls for a signature change. The old one was getting dusty.

Give you a hint there Aenlic the esteemed gentleman in this quote hit the nail on the head. Your acting like a school yard bully, just like I knew you would when I quoted Proletariat. I knew you couldn't resist it, and you fell right into the trap. Its been fun and rather amusing, to see you respond to each post pretty much the way I figured you would from the very start. Edit: To include the one up above.

Wouldn't this 'discussion' been better done by PM? Or is it deliberate to close the thread? :inquisitive:

Oh, please. That's one of your favorite tactics here when you get called on something or just generally make an ass of yourself in a post. You strike a pose and claim that you were just leading people about.

It's really overdone; although not quite as overdone as your all-time favorite which is to misuse the term ad hominem and accuse others of it after you've already done so in a debate. You seem to be clueless that saying someone else is using an ad hominem fallacy in an argument is itself an ad hominem argument. Every time you do it, it gets funnier. I know you're not 14 and suffering from too many hormones; so the real reason must be pretty sad. :laugh4:

I'd suspect that of being his intent; but it would be too clever by far.

Okay, how do you then combine 'not murdering but ending peoples lives so I get my paycheck at the end of the month' with the message of peace of JC ?

EDIT: O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys...

Well, I think it's just been demonstrated that atheists can conduct wars just as well as the faithful.

Read the last half of the thread with your sense of humour hat on.

I'm an atheist because atheism is better at predicting the future, fulfilling your prayers, and (unless you have other prejudice) give you a morality that saves lives and improves life for more people than other religion can ever do. Unfortunately I'm ashamed of many of my fellow atheists, who never live up to the potential of being atheists and don't bother reading the its holy books and devote themselves to understanding it scripture - philosophy and science. I think it's too easy to become an atheist, it just requires you to say you're "I'm an atheist", and you become one. I think there should be more difficult to become atheist so only those who are true atheists and following its ideals could become atheists.

Sounds like you want to turn atheism into a religion ... you sound pretty fundamentalist about it. Or did I miss the smiley somewhere?

Well upon review it makes for a good signature. One that I just can't resist.

threat
thread
tread
dread
treat

:wall:


For most it would have been enough to simply impose their imperialistic languange on the world. But no, those perfidious Albions then have to add insult upon injury by refusing to get a proper spelling. :furious3:

And to think there are beautiful, logical and consistent languages out there, perfected by centuries of Academic scrutiny. But as with religion over science, the illogical and inferior are winning. Gah, evolution, Gah! Darwin had it all wrong: the unfittest survive and prosper.

*weeps bitter tears*


Sorry 'bout that. You can all carry on now...

Nothing to do with Darwin, Louis. God designed it that way.

Which goes to prove, He is not a Frenchman. :wink3:

Quite wrong, Louis. Having to cope with an illogical, contorted, irregular and paradoxical language means the Anglo-Saxon mind has to develop sufficiently to cope. Making it fitter and therefore able to dominate. These easy, logical languages breed up intellectual lightweights :laugh4:

Am I the only one to think we're just a stone's throw away from Babel fish and God disappearing in a puff of blue logic about now?? :beam:

I am not an atheist...

You're right, but I was talking about my personal case only. I've never been to war, thanks God.... (:laugh4: )~;) ....by the way I'm also profoundly antimilatary.

Its just too easy to be an atheist these days. Look at all the support they have.

Yes, but if you join the army, it won't be God commanding you to kill, but a politician.

Do you also have faith that a politician will only ever ask you to kill for a "morally justifiable reason"? If so, you have much more faith in them than I do.

It's to easy to say it's too easy and it's easier to say you said that it was easy...:dizzy2: Now really, both positions imply belief, believing in something is always easy. What's really hard is to learn and to act. If I were a real anarchist I wouldn't be talking in this forums, the atheism of an anarchist goes further, it becomes hatred towards any superior, supraempirical or not, power wich is concentrated. As such being an anarchist my slogan should be: "Even if there was a God, we should kill him", simply because anarchism cannot function with God in the picture.

Put your believes to the shelf where they actually belong -between you and what you believe.

Secondly, I personally find the justification of atheism while religions caused so much problems within the humanity, although their point of view called "puny lonely selfness" can't explain how I see this universe organized and perfectly on rail coming from a definite start to an end human beings can't define.

Classy - you go an do what I told him not to do. He's not so much a schoolyard bully as you are both children acting up. If only it was eighty years ago, I'd cane you both until you shut up.

My apologies Gorebag. I responded to someone who claimed at one point, in this very thread, to be here not to discuss the topic in the thread but to harrass another member. It's typical of him, I don't like it, and considering my initial post in this thread I'm not a turn the other cheek kind of guy. But I am sorry. You'll notice my distinct lack of presence in the "is anyone else here a Christian" thread, a lesson which the other parties in this little hoohah might take to heart. :tongue:

Wow, too bad I wasn't online for a while.

Seeing how this thread has gone downhill and has little potential of recovering, I'll answer the initial question.

I believe
I believe in commen decency, respect and the forum rules. But most of all,
I believe in the holy dancing lock.
