I think I did some threads on Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism. And I never attacked them because I'm not a religious nut job like you who can't control himself from attacking rival religions.

On the surface perhaps. It boils down to truth, and I think it was Plato who noted that truth is the beginning of every good to God, and of every good to man. Something like that. The atheists I know and live with would agree that truth is the beginning of every good to man. The people of faith I live with would agree that truth is the beginning of every good to God. Delve deeply enough, and we can find similarities in our philosophies.
I try not to let God become a distraction in discussions with atheists. As He is much more than a distraction!
What has happened to the religiously addled is that they were indoctrinated since birth into professing to believe that the stories in the bible are literal depictions of historical events and that any objection that arises in their own mind is an attack from Satan himself which sets the mind against itself and, as in the case of ding, that part of his brain that is supposed to reason rationally and honestly has died and was deliberately replaced by trained personnel with a self negating multiplicity that is slowly disintegrating into nothingness. Thats why he always speaks of a "we" or an "us" whenever he is confronted with the truth and his facade crumbles. He doesn't even have the ability to admit that Jesus isn't edible or that the church is built on lies, pretending to be moral authorities without any knowledge of the meaning of the words or subjects about which they are so dogmatic, what is true or false, right or wrong, good or evil.
And these actors and lying frauds actually want to rule the world... for Jesus of course.
Imagine that!

Atheism is nothing more than lack of belief in a god. That doesn't preclude the possibility that a god might exist. It falls in the same category as not believing unicorns exist. A philosophy based on non belief of either of those things would seem silly to most rational people. Of course, if religion, or the belief in unicorns gives you comfort, or seems to meld with your philosophy, I encourage you to adhere to it and all it's teachings, as long as you don't insist on forcing your religion on others.

You don't. You say bombastic things that you know have no real basis.

That's one way to look at it. In the mean time, it's silly to waste much time pondering the existance of god or unicorns. Neither are worthwhile to even discuss, unless some pro-unicorn or pro-god busy body tries to foist their beliefs on others.
Of course...........unemployment was simply miracled into existence (unemployment said, I am going on vacation in the United States over the next decade)
.......there was no cause for a market correction to last well over a decade called the GREAT DEPRESSION. What happened all throughout the 30s? FDR's NEW communist DEAL, where he stacked SCOTUS and began (unconstitutionally) circumventing congress by Judicial Fiat with the friends of FDR legislating new finance laws from the bench........leaving WE THE PEOPLES representatives out of the loop. Communism 101History documents the reason that a simple market adjustment caused a lost decade of private production in the US. The great depression lasted over the entire length of Roosevelt's administrations. Why? Because Big Brother government attempted to micro manage the private sector and spend the US out of the depression on money that simply did not exist.....i.e, Keynesian Economics in action. The exact same thing happened in the late teens of the 20th century......the market crashed, big brother did nothing, and the market adjusted itself by allowing the failing businesses to die because of mismanagement......there was no GREAT DEPRESSION because of that market adjustment in 1919......there was the roaring 20s. The market self corrected by allowing the failing business to go bottom up and liquidating any assists to be purchased by other businesses.
Depression of 1920–1921 - Wikipedia
Roosevelt's own Sec. of Treasury explains why unemployment lasted so long under King Roosevelt. Henry Morgenthau Jr. - Wikipedia.
Quote: Henry Morgenthau: "We (Roosevelt Administration) have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before (in US History), AND IT DOES NOT WORK. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong, someone can have my job. I want to see the country prosperous. I want to see people get a job; I want to see people get enough to eat. WE HAVE NEVER MADE GOOD ON OUR PROMISES (boy is that a surprise coming from a democrat
). I say after 8 years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started, and an ENORMOUS DEBT TO BOOT."His solution? Being a democrat, can you guess his solution? More TAXES........the US was suffering, not because of run away uncontrolled spending and mismanagement.......but because the one's that were actually working........where not paying their fair share. Straight from the horses mouth "WE HAVE NEVER BEGUN TO TAX THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE TAXED........I DON'T PAY WHAT I SHOULD (indeed, he was on we the people's pay roll ..........his taxes would be paid by THE PEOPLE)............PEOPLE WHO HAVE MONEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY (for those who don't inferred.............can any one say, INCOME REDISTRIBUTION?

Sure it is.
No, I don't attack rival religions like you do. I'm not a nut job.
Preach on!!!!What has happened to the religiously addled is that they were indoctrinated since birth into professing to believe that the stories in the bible are literal depictions of historical events and that any objection that arises in their own mind is an attack from Satan himself which sets the mind against itself and, as in the case of ding, that part of his brain that is supposed to reason rationally and honestly has died and was deliberately replaced by trained personnel with a self negating multiplicity that is slowly disintegrating into nothingness.

I understand some never find God. I was one who did seek and who did find. There is no need for me to ponder his existence, but I often do ponder His great love of us, those who have touched Him and those who for whatever reason(s) cannot seem to connect.
