We havent stumbled across any evidence of god either.
Why should that matter, at one point each religion also didnt have its "lore" created either.
Not small, one has a precedent established, the other does not. One has proven it can exist because it HAS existed, the other hasnt.
We have witness to their "beliefs" but not evidence that what they "believed" actually existed, happened or was the truth. Lets not forget other religions that predate some of more current ones and how they had gods that interacted with us humans....that would count as eyewitness accounts but no one has any problem accepting those gods and those events didnt really take place.
Just cause they "claim" it dosent make it true. They need to produce evidence and they havent. You can make claims but they arent accepted as truthful, valid or credible until you have produced the evidence to support them.
Again, they need to show evidence then. I can show evidence of a life existing on at least one planet.
Agnostic and Atheism derive their reality from one fact only, so many believe in somthing based on faith (zero evidence) so we need a term to describe those who DONT subscribe to that faith. Its why we dont have words for those who dont believe in pink unicorns.
Staying out of the controversy and going "middle of the road" is an appeasement position. I think you take the word appeasement as a negative but it isnt neccessarily so...its however you personally look at it I guess. Some would think its a good thing to do, others would find it negaive...it is what it is.
No there isnt. There are what people claim, there are gaps in our knowledge but there isnt evidence of a "god".
Ruby, would you attempt to talk sense to someone ensconced in a psychiatric institution because he consistently carries on conversations with a fictitious **** Commo - that he had conveniently tranformed into a fascistic capitalist to suit his hateful philosophy - in the firmament? I think not.
This is what you are faced with when you try talking sense to AmeriChristians. You do realize there are light-years between them and non-American Christians, don’t you?
Take it from me, Ruby. Before they appeared on our doorstep proselytising for their money-changer Christ, we furriners used to simply lampoon the absurd antics of Americhristians. Now we have had personal exposure to this filthy bacillus, we have finally became aware of the inseparable connection between America’s bi-partisan War Partei and its insane brand of Christinsanity.
Anyone with half a brain could see that the patently anti-authoritarian Christ wouldn’t piss up an American Proddie's (this includes AmeriCaffliks) arse if his guts were on fire.
In his book, Conservatives Without Conscience, John Dean, the onetime whistle blower of the infamous Nixon-Watergate affair, brilliantly summarizes the work of Bob Altmeyer, an outstanding social psychologist from the University of Manitoba, who has spent the past thirty years documenting the fact that individuals who tend to be politically conservative (the most extreme referred to as neoconservatives and nearly all Christian fundamentalists) possess an "authoritarian personality," a deeply imbedded predisposition to act in ways that oppose, are in essential conflict with, Jesus' command that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. According to such research, the neoconservatively-oriented Christian fundamentalist tends to:
oppose equality, be power-oriented (likely to dominate those they believe to be inferior and/or different from themselves, and to submit to those they have chosen to defer), highly prejudiced, pitiless, mean-spirited, militarily aggressive, chauvinistic, Republican, capitalist, socially-politically conservative, conventional (status quo oriented), highly religious, rather pious, trusting of untrustworthy leaders, narrow-minded, defensive, intolerant, bullying, dogmatic, hypocritical, highly self-righteous, able to entertain ideas that are highly contradictory, gripped by a rather low degree of self awareness (a seeming inability to understand the underlying dynamics of their own personality), and the possession of rather rigid patterns of thought (a tendency to think in terms of "black and white," rather than demonstrating a willingness to struggle with highly complex ideas or issues).
Go here
The Free World is starting to realize that Americhristians are a greater threat to world freedom than Genghis Khan and his Golden Horde ever were.
The time has come to exterminate this faux virtuous vermin from the face of the earth - before it establishes its Global Calvinazi Co-Prosperity Sphere!
Heil Henderson!
