Do you know of any other belief (or unbelief ;D) system that tries so hard to disprove another? Reminds me of all of the politicians whose only tactic is pointing out the bad points in their opponent(s) as opposed to actually telling us anything worthwhile about themselves.
Just a thought, but one would surmise that they are really trying to convince themselves...

It's no coincidence that most atheists are democratic liberals or at least vote that way.
That's what is so funny being on forums. When you debate topics with people, it doesn't take very long for you to find that their religious beliefs coincide with their political beliefs in most ways.
It's all about a person's worldview, why they think they are here and what they think they should be doing.

Heh, heh... Thanks guys, it's been a long hard day, and I'm happy to finish it with a good chuckle... (I'll see if I can find someone to fight with you all about that subject... LOL)

Hey, Phinehas did you know that the vast majority of liberals and democrats in America are Christian?

That's right. I forget you can't be a "true" Christian unless you're a hillbilly. That, and KNOW JESUS! Don't worry, you're not in either group!

I enjoy going back and forth with blondie. He's given me something to do in my leisure time. Although I really need to spend more time exercising my body than sitting in front of a screen ;D. Still, its rather fun...I hope the rest of you see it that way too and try not to get upset about any of this. He believes (or doesn't believe LOL) the way he does and we believe as we do. Plain and simple .

Hillbilly? Now that's not nice ;D
I'm neither from the backwoods nor a remote mountain area but I do have my times of being unsophisticated ;D.

Plain and simple . As a Christian friend said, ''Is it profitable?'' -- I don't sense/perceive that it is......and 'IT' might very well be destructive! Bottom line....if you're a Christian......you need to KNOW... Is God Pleased with it?

Dunno, do you have the special hotline to God so I can call and ask?
Show me one way it is destructive. If you'll go back and read our responses to one another, you will find that blondie and I have been civil towards one another. I cannot say the same about how you go back and forth with some others on this board. I would dare say that your exchanges are more destructive than anything blondie and I have said to one another. In fact, I'd wager that blondie has has to think a little bit more about my responses that the straightforward jabs he usually receives. Not saying its shaken any of his (un)belief, just made him have to really think about it.
And maybe, just maybe, its helped others to realize that straight forward attacks are not the best way to get your point across. I call that constructive, not destructive.

Just another 'smart AS*'......Get your own 'hotline'....and YES...I have one!!!
