I do not disbelieve in the non-existent, my butt; I do not not not believe there are knots which cannot be retied.

or
I don't believe there are unicorns, but I bet they are good eatin'.

I liked your comment about the hobby of not collecting stamps. We should fail to get together to not discuss the things we will not do in common . . .

I'm getting a headache . . .

Glad someone appreciated it's meaning Smile Apparently XXX doesn't grasp simple metaphors... leading me to believe that continued discussion with him is likely to be even more fruitless than I originally anticipated.

@Setanta,
Do you think the flooding of my bathroom was God was punishing me for not believing him? If so, I say "pee on him."

@edgarblythe,
What kind of seed must I have to create a unicorn? Does it taste good?

Unicorns are animals that run wild. The way to catch one is to hunt them nude. When one charges, you turn your back and bend over, thus entrapping them. It is best to hunt in pairs, as one can lose the beast in making the transition from trapped by the horn to tied and led to the house.

In my opinion, whether one is an atheist or not could be interpreted as a red-herring, pandering to those that believe that we have a "soul" that survives our physical demise. Many people would not mind that there is no God, as long as they have a soul, since the soul correlates to immortality, be it a soul in heaven, a soul in limbo (limbo is out of business according to the latest Catholic doctrine), a soul that gets resurrected in a new body, or even a soul that is in the body of one's next incarnation.

Sorry folks, there ain't no soul. It was created to make the earlier resurrection narrative believable, since without a soul, a resurrected body is just a photocopy of the original.

@Foofie,
Don't worry, Foof, when we smash you into smithereens, your atoms of carbon, molecules of water and sprinkly bits of all the others members of the Periodic Table will spread out all over the Universe.

Forever.

OK, the basic, simple meaning of atheist is "without god." I don't believe that there is a god. Therefore, from my perspective, everybody is without god.


Hummm…actually I don’t believe that there is a god either.

But I also don’t believe there are no gods.

I don’t do “believing” on this.

Apparently you do. You must believe there are no gods in order for your, “Therefore, from my perspective, everybody is without god” to make sense.

So tell me…do you believe there are no gods?

Hey, if we are going to start a movement, I have a suggestion, no, a demand.

All of our celebratory dates (The Feast of Setanta, for example) can last no fewer than seven days and nights.

None of those crummy one day affairs.
Okay.

Yes. There are no gods.
That's not a belief, it's a truth.

Or, as you would say: "I don't not not but I do disbelieve not in the non-existing presence or prehensive semi-demi-hemi-condition of super natural doodle noodles of nothingness BUT I DO NOT do the 'Do be do be do' unless Frank of the Hoboken Sinatra's is singing lead. . Cool

But you are through talking to me.
