@spendius,
It beats learning everything one knows from the local pub.
Aiden,
Your god isn't omnipotent or powerful?
@aidan,
I think that was very well said. It goes as close to what I believe as I have heard from another. I think we disagree on some points, but that is pretty damn close.
@Lash,
I don't know what Aiden's god isn't - I isn't Aiden - you have to ask Aiden what Aiden's god isn't.
So, essentially, this thread is no longer about the experience of being an atheist. And, despite it's protestations, Aiden or Aidan, whichever it insists upon, is here for more than just protecting the saintly reputation of the believer.
So, unintentionally, this thread mirrors the experience of the atheist. The god squad pushes in to take over the conversation, and to attempt to set the terms of the discussion.
Wonderful.
@Setanta,
works for me. Maybe we should start invading all the religion posts and trussing them up.
Naw . . . they ain't no fun--no sense of irony or of humor.
Don't ya know, you can only tell the truth if you apologize while doing it.
I'm sorry EB, but i just can't agree with that.
@Setanta,
I've never noticed any irony in Setanta's posts. I doubt he knows the meaning of the word. And his humour is the Lenny Bruce variety. All snarls. Aggressive.

Bring it on old boy. Don't be shilly-shallying like a nervous maiden with any "maybe"s.
@Setanta,
I'm sorry, setanata. If you want to mention a flying spaghetti monster, you must preface it with, "I am not militant; I am not putting down religion." Otherwise you send out a message that you want to turn civilization into a bunch of devil-worshippers.
Once again, EB, my profound apologies . . . but i do want to turn society into a bunch of devil worshippers.
I want monkeys to be allowed citizenship to show I am a true atheistic evolution worshipper.
They certainly couldn't produce more dismal election results than we've seen in recent years.
@Setanta,
QWell, heres a religious question.
What did Jesus mean when he said
"This would really taste great with a hunk of bacon in there"
@spendius,
Note the depth of their posts Spendi...one minute they are bleeding about how they want a post for themselves so they can debate with like opinions....the next they are trying hard to be funny.....way too hard.
@Ionus,
YEs but most all of us steer clear of the Thumper threads.
Who here said they wanted to debate? What is wrong with being funny, whether or not goshites from the antipodes are amused?
@Setanta,
Dont tell me you think you are funny....you are probably the one person here who I have never seen display humuor.
Whats a gosh-ite ? Something humurous ?
