Theism vs. Atheism ... will it ever be settled?

Dean, I think your above posts are excellent, certainly a personal attack is easy to spot, but also, these kind of outrageous accusations against a whole group are not conducive to a good discussion and really it would be best if all those involved would quit making broad baseless accusations.

^ I would certainly agree that those swipes are not conducive to having a good discussion - I may have made some such statements in the past, and they were properly returned by the opposite site in most cases, but I also always favored specific topics. Take my post about the connection between Jesus and Original Sin, which is still unanswered while people focus instead on how many threads I start.

Or I'll invade Rob's thread ... after all, it's a specific question about Christianity.

After reading through the posts some more, I think the other thing that is counter-productive is people trying to sum up and/or restate someone's previous thoughts or statements.

Just let people speak for themselves and don't try to sum up or represent someone's thoughts in a purposely misleading way.

Atheism is also apparently the faith choice of illiterate Swedes.

With that out of the way, this thread can be opened up to political debate! Honestly, one party authoritarian state is efficient, but really...... I think absolute monarchy could get so much more done.

I always need help deciding which baggy track suit to wear and how far sideways to wear my oversized baseball hat.  maybe I'm "Monarch Material."

We have seen many arguments that doesn't fit your "answers" and as Dean said with wisdom, we will wait in the dark until it happen... well, just until 2012.   Once the waters remain in calm and the spirit moved over it. Then Mike create a thread and chaos was created...
