I have a busy day ahead of me before I dismantle that juvenile crap you posted during your drinking spree last night! But before I shower and shave I will comment briefly on your idiotic and meaningless "are you an atheist" attacks on 2MAR$. I have heard him say over and over that your primitive and transparently anthropomorphic Yahweh is mythic and man-made just as all other man-made gods are man-made. You must be awfully dumb to receive answers several dozen times and still be slack-jawed about it? Like...DUH??? It is also clear that (like me) he finds the universe an awesome and wondrous home with myriad mysteries to challenge our feeble knowledge. Might there be higher powers in this mysterious cathedral of the unknown? Most definitely! Are these higher powers asking for animal sacrifices or Holy wars? Are they preparing a place in the earth to torture people forever while keeping them alive with magic? Not hardly! Where we differ is that I still find it most sincere to use the term atheist whereas 2MAR$ does not. Given that our "god" idea was invented out of whole cloth, and "HIS" attributes were invented out of whole cloth--it seems condign to me that the position of atheism excludes all the gods that Nimrods do and will yammer and chatter about--while leaving all the possibilities of "higher powers" quite intact. Now please do us all a favor and drop your dishonest "are you an atheist" pretense for points. Do you really believe thread readers are stupid and you are fooling them with your pretentious deflection and misrepresentation?? Do you really think so??? Your "god" is a reification of the primitive savagery common to some pre-science peoples. It degrades humanity and it degrades you. Now, grow up and get a life.
