@Frank Apisa,
"See, you see a handful of people bullying people here and a handful of their opponents insatiably replying and making claims of their own -"
It's a forum on the internet. Why do you guys try to spread the manure so broadly?

I wear the label atheist, without the flowery crap. I also cling to the label of being liberal. I have paid my dues and I will stand for what I choose.


You also assert there are no gods in the REALITY of existence.

I claim that can only be a guess...which some folk call a "belief."

You claim I am wrong...it is not a guess or a "belief"...it is something you have determined.

You should be wearing the label "guesser" or "believer" just as proudly as you wear the label atheist.

No manure there. I've seen it...and that is all I said.

You've seen it. You've participated in it.

No manure...just a statement of fact.

So...atheists are not held in particularly high regard. Neither are members of congress...who have numbers lower than atheists.


Mark Twain knew that, and he knew the reasons why, too:

Quote:
“Suppose you were a congressman. And suppose you were an idiot. But I repeat myself”

"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that the only distinctly native American criminal class is Congress."


With respect to that second quote, I say: Yeah! So just lay off of black folk, willya please?

@edgarblythe,
Its easy to understand why there are believers. Almost everyone wants to live forever. Threatening this belief will certainly invite attack.

@Frank Apisa,
To portray just atheists this way when you and many Christians participate is just insane.

@edgarblythe,
JUST!

Where did the "just" come from?

Something you are JUST adding so you have something to argue against?

I never said "just"...and I do not remember anyone but you saying "just."

No, I don't think you are out of line, expressing an opinion as you did.

Not sure who "you guys" refers to...but I am not anti-atheist.

My disagreement with you has to do with you asserting something about the true nature of the REALITY of existence...and pretending it is something other than a guess.

You forcefully assert "There are no gods...no where, no how, never has been, never will be."

Except for the direction of the guess...it is identical to a theist who asserts, "There is a GOD...and all of existence is a result of the force of that GOD."

Both are absurd assertions...little more than guesses gone apeshit. And YOU, Edgar, ARE intelligent enough to see them both as absurd.

That is my disagreement with you...not that you are an atheist.

Long about time to just haul off and listen to some good blues, eh, Ed? There's a thread I could recommend for that, if you want.

He is not my favorite artist, but I have loved his music since I was very young. He's pretty great to me.

Layman, did your thread problem get fixed somehow?

Look at the bottom of the page, dark blue stripe, to the right, in the column able2know is a click-on Contact Us.. that'll get you to the hamsters to help figure it out.

@ossobuco,
No, I don't think so, Jo, and thanks for asking. I have since learned that other posters are having the same problem in that thread. One of them suggested that the mods had "frozen" the thread.

I did "report" a post (one of my own) in that thread (the only thing I could do) and told them the problem. I am assuming that is sufficient to raise the question with them, but so far I've had no response.
