@hingehead,
One ought to be careful with gratuitous insults hinge. They grant permission for a response in kind and complaints about such responses being on another level then become ridiculous.

On this occasion, as the insult is so pathetic, I will decline the penalty.

@spendius,
So, listen, Spendi, do you or have you ever had, a glimpse of earthly pleasure? Sexual, sure, but further than that?

@hingehead,
REALLY?! You'd trust 'dudes in labcoats'?!
With what - EVERYTHING?
Not me - and I've had intimate experience of/with 'dudes in labcoats'.

That's why I don't believe in Atheism.

So someone just like you could have figured this whole thing out?
You must be WAY smarter than me.

@aidan,
You should probably read the start of this particular stream of pictures, where explained I was going to post pic's of the 'propaganda' both sides of the god schism use to roast the other. So your opinion is valid and should be heard, but don't point it at me - I'm just the messenger. I'm replying to my original introduction for all the picture posts so it's easy to get back to the start and see links to all subsequent posts.

Been loving your prison stories on the 'smile' thread.

And I think it's time I pulled this out of my A2K 101: zinger thread
http://everyboty.net/shared/pics/do%20you%20have%20any%20idea%20how%20fast%20you%20were%20scrolling.jpeg


Oh, and I've got a pic from your side that gets across your point sort of - just going to dig it out.....

@aidan,
Believe in atheism?

Have you been paying any attention at all on this whole thread, Aidan?

Every atheist I know, and I know more than several, just plain lacks belief in gods.
A-theism, get it?

Well, I have read a few here say they believe there are no gods. But that's a lot of positive type effort for most of us.

You don't want us to joke around on our thread?

Oh yeah. Backing winners. Sunbathing. Snoozing. Sitting down to double steak and kidney pudding, double chips, mushy peas and gravy with double bread and butter after 6 pints in the pub in a cheap chippy with a few mates.

I'm not very intellectual you see osso. I'm glad you absolved me of the sex though. My run on sentence might be book length on that matter.

You're good with me Hingehead - fellow music lover. As far as I'm concerned, you DO believe in god - yeah music - that's the embodiment of my god...

What HUMAN could have come up with music? Not me...I can only hum along.

I didn't mean to make it so ...I think it's just a difference as to what we attribute things, life, music, etc.

And the fact that I might attribute it to (a) and you might attribute it to (b) has little bearing on the value we assign to it.

I think I just know someone like me couldn't have come up with music, or the stars or gravity or radial heads (which I've found out recently control every movement you make with your hands and fingers)- which I worship and couldn't live without - but you know - maybe I'm wrong.

Whatever. I know there are some really smart people in the world - WAY SMARTER THAN ME!

But my question is - if a person didn't come up with it - who did?
So, it's okay if other people don't believe in God - but what the hell - What person DO they believe came up with all of this?

They can't seem to tell me - that's why I don't believe in atheism.

@aidan,
We don't either.

You don't get it. Not believing is not a religion itself.
Well, for some, I suppose so, but that is in addition to basic atheism. As in, they believe there are no gods. Too much work there, like believing there are is no real live Elmer Fudd and starting a club.


Aidan, you are good with me on believing what you do. I pipe up when I see us atheists misrepresented.

Music, well, it's from the spheres and much else.

Right then - where did all of this come from then?

I'm not trying to inject my belief - I'm trying to ascertain yours.

What IS the atheist's belief as to where ALL OF THIS CAME FROM?

I'm sincerely curious.

To whom or what do they attribute the origin?

@aidan,
That is not the question, you're skipping questions.

Some of us lack belief. I consider this as most of us who are calling ourselves atheists and giant batches of other people in the wider world who don't know the word atheism. I can envision millions.

Some famous people say there are no gods. That is belief. I am not them.
Their beliefs get written up in dictionaries and speeches. Some of those people are smart.

On what I do believe, that is another bag of beans. You could look at the 'what makes you tick' thread, but that would only be about me, among many, not any representation of atheists.
