Its not funny, its very boring and I hated it! But if I'm a moron......well I'd better not say what you are...

Just thought I would make that point.It shows that clear thinkers can have warped perception.

I don't believe you.

The satellites orbitting earth prove the theory of gravity right. What kind of assumptions I have to do about it? 
|
That the satellites actually are orbiting earth, that a higher power isn't making them do so, that the satellites aren't a figment of everyone's imagination, that the earth isn't a figment of everyone's imagination. It may sound silly but the last three can't possibly be proven either way (and hence nor can the first). Nobody can know for certain that their senses are giving them an accurate portrayal of the world and universe around them. I'm not saying they don't, by any means, as I expect they do, but as long as it isn't proven any observations rely on assumptions

I ain't afraid Toots! But as God doesn't exist, I have nothing to deny!

^^ I'm tempted to make a humerous observation, but i'm going to stay well out of it. I still remember the gun thread

oh, you are omniscient? you know so in advance? prhaps you re
omnipotent and omnipresent too! why don't you give it a try? afraid?
it is all a matter of the definition of "God"; as I said, what you deny
is a certain image of God (the Christian one). I even agree with you
there in denying that image. but that has nothing to do with denying God

man created an image of God in his own image. and it is this certain image atheists deny, and rightly so. but that has nothing to do with denying God. again I recommend to read this: http://www.gaiaguys.net/taoist.htm . an eye-opener for both believers and atheists

No...God doesn't exist, so its not an image of anything real. That is why my statement stands! Faeries don't exist either BTW!

let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

Yes, you're probably right. In which case its a trilogy in four parts. Seems somehow appropriate.

Worth checking out Oolong Caloophid's trilogy on this subject:
"Where God went wrong", "More of God's Greatest Mistakes" and "That about wraps it up for God then".
