I Say We Duke It Out!

In my personal opinion, Jesus, the flesh and blood version, did not exist. The Super Jesus that's been concocted for about two thousand years is very real, only in the sense that he touches so many lives. That he is a myth is beside the point. The religion built up around him bears little relation to anything down to Earth and real, but binds like minds in commiseration and reinforcement of the mythology. The religion only follows teachings attributed to Jesus when it's convenient.

Atheists are varied in their viewpoints. Many on a2k make points differently than mine, often sounding more agnostic. Most of us are not so bent on disproving G(g)od as stemming the tide of fundamentalism trying to take over control of everything in life. But for this one point, I think most atheists would as soon fade into the woodwork as exchange arguments like these.

Only the ones like yourself, who are way too literal and a strident.

Strident = talking about what you believe.

the difference between the KKK, methodists, sports fans, Communists, atheists, intellectuals, mormons, liberals and baptists is the uniform they wear and their choice of scramental wines.

Here are some negative statements that can be proven very easily:
Five is not equal to four
The ancient Egyptians did not watch Seinfeld
The tsetse fly is not native to North America

It appears, sadly I admit, that a2k is being over-run with religionists. Probably a fault of google but so it goes.

Yeah, should have added negative in the sense that something exists or not.



You can't prove that aliens, gods, ghosts, succubi, witches, leprechauns, fauns, dryads, naiads, nereids, that dwarf that Craven has on his shoulder who tells him what to do and what not to do like gods do for some folk, etc don't exist.



BTW, you can't PROVE that ancient Egyptians didn't watch Seinfeld, though it is unlikely they did so...they might have had time machines.

And...tse tse flies MAY have been native to North America, but died out in an ice age or something.

Again, reason and empirical data suggests that they are not, but you cannot PROVE they were not.


Like gods.

Before this goes further, let me say, I have vowed to avoid getting personal. My words describing a thought concerning Momma Angel refers to the belief she espouses herein and is not intended as an attack. Just as if she asked me to describe a chocolate eclair. I describe as fundamentalist anybody who wants to inject religion into the classroom, courts, or use religious founded reasoning to deny the legitemate effort or teaching of science.
