okay then Michael…what may have been apparent to others is finally clear to me…you are not well…sorry for that.

Michael, let me come at this a different way. I have zero interest in comic books unless the comic book has independent indicia of reliability. A comic book can not authenticate itself.

Get it? Splain your foundations por favor.

Doc B, rumors of your demise…

A lack of imagination and inability to think independent of authority is characteristic of godbots. Gods are created by those with limited imagination. They know what they see…other humans. Thus gods are conceived with human characteristics (petty, unjust control freak, vindictive, homophobic racist,…[Read more]

Come on man!

Lets learn something. EVANGELIZE!

Give your world view. You have as yet done nothing (from my perspective) to separate yourself from the theistic pack. You say you have high iq…you say you have devoted a significant portion of your life to this endeavor. Convince us. Give anything at all that is probative or makes us reconsider or wonder.

Michael, which version of the bible are you relying on? Why should anyone think it is reliable/word of god? Since old and new testament have been changed so many times by scribes what makes you think you have access to the bible?

Is your belief faith-based only or is there some rational basis for you being a Christian? If it is rational then how…[Read more]

Yeah Michael, mainstream christian eschatological ideas are preposterous. The rest of the stuff makes perfect sense..talking snakes, virgin birth, transubstantiation, original sin… Lucky for us you have the perspicacity to divine and decipher the actual eschatology.

What would it take to make you realize that your ideas about prophecy are…[Read more]

It all has to be reconciled within the delusion. The delusion itself is sacrosanct and bedrock belief. There may be reasoning from within but there is zero reasoning outside of the delusion.

Michael, that was illuminating.

My ass writes its own essay. It is good like that. In fact my essay will write an essay for payforanessay. I am good like that. Pay me. Today!

Okay Simon i missed what you wrote. GOD MANIFESTS IN BEHAVIOR.

Same reaction here. We evolved as a highly social animal. If what you say is true you could make the same comment for predator and prey animals who help each other. Of course, it is not true. It is evolved behavior.

Simon, that makes zero sense to me.

The universe as it is when people come together shit gets done cuz people are doing it. If shit got done when it is beyond our capability then you could say holy porcupine. Magical quills saved the day.

I just read a story about a 16 year old who came to the aid of a kid who was about to be beaten by a…[Read more]

Simon, the external appearance to a blind theist of receiving help that is oft-cited by atheists as jawdroppingly obtuse is the one home and owner left untouched by an act of god. Standing among the ruin is the one mindless theist who praises god for saving her. One might ask if that theist has a theory of mind just as an ethologist asks about…[Read more]

No, Simon you did not answer any of the other questions.

You are helping somebody and divine help comes along and i am sure sometimes it does not come along…all the while incalculable and avoidable suffering is occurring. Brilliant! That is quite a conclusion you have reached. If you detect sarcasm you aint wrong.

Simon, the notion that the evidence for god is divine intervention? Wherever, whatever are you conjuring? Atrocities such as genocides, torture, massacres, fire bombing; so called acts of god such as earthquakes, tsunamis,volcanoes, hurricanes? From the human perspective that makes divine intervention high jinks from a divine prick.

You did not…[Read more]

Simon your advice was good until..there’s evidence for or against. No evidence. What do you have in mind as evidence? There is indoctrinated thinking, delusional thinking and wishful thinking. What evidence!

Second thing that makes no sense…I do what god would like anyways. if there is an architect and it has a role in human behavior or cares…[Read more]

Michael, it is disturbing to read your religious delusion. It could as easily be the words of a schizophrenic person in the grips of a delusion.

It appears there is no reasoning with you.

Yeah persecutions and martyrdom…

Otherwise no code and no need for 164 iq Michael to waste his time centuries later deciphering the code. Perhaps the gestapo was going door to door inspecting the scribblings of the few literate, that is if a literate agent was to be found. Yeah the empire was cracking down on malcontents who were out to…[Read more]

Define spiritual por favor.

Michael, mass hysteria can be photographed. So can natural phenomena or contrived…

You wrote something that you should take to heart. THE SCIENTISTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN HONEST AND SAID SIMPLY, WE DON’T KNOW.

I betya if this Virgin Mary is later discovered to be a hoax like the famous bigfoot filming it will do nothing to dissuade you. You wont…[Read more]
