I see it like this.
Say I invented a creature called googleshnortz, and assert that this great purple blob created everything that is orange in color.
Absent of proof, the claim stands as ridiculous and without any basis or merit.
Believers in googleshnortz, however, have managed to convince a group of people to the point where they say..well..maybe googleshrortz is real, after all, there is nothing to 'disprove' his existance.
Given the complete lack of evidence and rational grounding, to say googleshnortzs might be is as ludicrous as saying googleshnortz IS.
Such as it is with all current spiritual boogymen, but especially the one of christian manufacture. So long has this ridiculous mythology integrated itself with our culture that even some of those that would claim to be rational will say 'well, maybe.'
When in fact there is no rational answer but 'show me the proof or shut up about it'
I don't usually comment on avatars, but regarding yours, is that a swastika on the forehead? I'm not sure that anything you say about rationality holds any credibility for me at this point.
What does my avatar have to do with anything?
Is this the kind of irrelevant drivel you generally reply with?
Besides, you're a theist..what do you need with rationality.
For the record, it's a caracature of charles manson, no I'm not a nazi, but the picture is pleasing to my eye.
My mistake. I should check the dates on threads from now on!
