"It is you who claims that only ONE of all the transcendent belief systems is the TRUE one"

I am not the one who cannot go two sentences without making self-contradicting claims like "ALL TRUTH IS RELATIVE"

"There is no such thing. Atheism has no creed,....You might try looking it up in a dictionary before you shoot off from the lip with such wild and ridiculous mouthing."

You should take your own advise.

a·the·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (th-zm)
n.

1 a Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods.
b The doctrine that there is no God or gods.

2 Godlessness; immorality.

You don't need a formal creed to be an extreme fundamentalist Atheist. Stalin puts his "DOCTRINE" into action by doing whatever, to whomever he pleased. Practically; that resulted in millions of innocent deaths.

"The Dark Ages called torture and murder "justice". That is because they had a morality based on "might is right"; and others must be forced to think superstitiously as they did"

It's the atheistic Khmer Rouge who more accurately fit your description.

"In the social creatures referred to as Homo sapiens there are certain behaviors which rationally lead to profit. These include..."

"Murder, rape, theft, deceit, etc etc etc...."

"What a contemptible remark! First, you implied that you would act immorally if there were no (Christian) God to believe in (there being no other basis in your unique and weird weltanschauung for behaving in a civilized manner). Now you go beyond inanity by implying that rationality is associated with "Murder, rape, theft...". Have you thought of giving up your pots for a comedy act?!"

Why not respond with reason instead of just saying everything is ridiculous or contemptible?

I have to get some sleep. I'll finish this in the morning.

Goodnight Johnboy
