No problem sam. edit: It's not letting me type, or at least I can't see my own text?

Nobody has any realistic grounds for debate because you're willing to include supernatural possibilities in the debate. It does not just extend to the 'God' question but to ANY debate. You allow someone to put forward supernatural answers to any question and they cannot be proven wrong. To me it...

Isn't she playing with dolls in a verse in the koran? Doesn't seem like the acts of someone who should be having sex with much older men to me. Do you believe that there are OTHER 9 year old girls that are 'mature' enough to have sex with men? or was she the only one to ever exist?

No I do believe they have what people would call 'gods'. But there are religious beliefs that don't come into conflict with atheism, depending on how you want to define a God. Some people believe God is nature.... well... maybe I believe that too? I don't really know.

No... It's not... It's something like 4-5% in Australia. Who said anything about that junk logic? A SUPERNATURAL Santa is also completely out of the range of the human mind, it does not matter that no one professes santa as a diety. Seriously what you have to understand about the analogy...

lol thag.

Realities of Defining characteristic: Neocapitalist dialectic theory, capitalism and Baudrillardist simulacra 1. Burroughs and Lyotardist narrative If one examines the subtextual paradigm of context, one is faced with a choice: either accept constructivist pretextual theory or conclude that...

No where near 30%. Non-religious may be around 30% but those willing to claim absolutely no belief in God is generally much lower. No, I'm not claiming to have the answer. I'm merely claiming that non-belief is a more justified position than belief. Of course 'I don't know' will always be the...

Well 'anti-religious' people are a small minority trying to make their mark in a world that's heavily stacked against them. As for the christianity/islam thing... I know of very few atheists that will praise islam over christianity. You've said something along those lines in the 'Does God...

Well the ten commandments tend to come into conflict with some other stuff in the bible, if we take your view of them. So generally people will instead claim that they're circumstancial i.e. As a general rule It's wrong to murder, however murder can be justified in some circumstances, many of...

What? I don't know what you're saying, but I do know that most religions that I've encountered that have an afterlife assert you would have consciousness in this afterlife. Err... yes they must have come to exist. No we don't. There's no proof that these 'laws' came about due to other laws...

Is that the extent of your biblical knowledge? Er... well I do and I have a similar argument with muslims. They say 'No but I KNOW my religion and no one who would do such things is a real muslim', but the fact is what the text its self states or you think it states matters very little - when...

Which religion are you thinking of? Most religions I know of assert a consciousness after-life :/ But they're much further away from dead than the oldies :/ How so? Nice rhetoric... but you know... How so? Nope you're making unjustified inferences. It is not inevitable. It is perhaps...

Hey wow that's a real good call there.

As for why some theists hate religion, I think it's because in the information age religion is constantly under attack. People like religions because their fantasy is shared by a great many people, it gives them re-assurance - however it also leaves them open to attack because they're a big...

Well actually, I don't think they do. You see, the problem with a belief that only you have (i.e. that you are napoleon bonaparte) is a very lonely belief because there's no one there to re-inforce it. It's also wrong because Atheists don't believe they're their own God's and even if they did...

It has very little to do with how I feel about a God, the people in that religion or the particular religion(s) themselves. If a God (or God's) does exist, even if it is a God that I do not like, I want to find it and learn about it. I am using the best reason, logic and capability I have at...

I'd say that muslims are more prone to having their faith affect how they live their life than christians. This is not necessarily a 'bad' thing, if I was a believer I imagine i'd be a fundamentalist - it's something I somewhat admire in muslims.

I feel sorry for the guy, but I do think on occasion he spread the wrong message about dangerous animals and maybe this will be a way of fixing that mistake. Crocodiles, snakes, lions and alas sting-rays are not things that should be toyed around with. Anyway, bye.

My mate who knew a muslim real good once, like he talked to this muslim for maybe 2 hours at a pub, reckons muslims are lyk full badass cunts they're like 'FKN HELL NIGGA'.
