calling what other ppl hold dear "incestuous pedophilic sado-masochists", I'm sure you'll be a veritable asset to the open conversation between religious ppl and atheists. Ironicly you've got the same problem as most most religious ppl have: total intolerance towards other views, not being able to emphasize with ppl that see things a different way and dismissing them as being ignorant, dumb and need to be treated with disdain. Much like religious fundamentalists it's ppl like you that make sure that we're never gonna treat eachother like equals, like brothers instead putting up a wall between "us" and "them".

"ppl" like me? (none / 0)
At least I think enough of other people to spell out entire words...

Again, WTF does empathy or open conversation have to do with RELIGION??

Do you empathize with sociopaths? Paranoid schizophrenics? Other delusional types? Have many productive open conversations with any?

Then WHY would you expect to get different results from a DIFFERENT delusion? I'm trying to break that stupid wall DOWN and you're telling me to add bricks!

HELL no!

I have no tolerance for people's views when they aren't reality based. I'm funny that way. I have no tolerance for people who think all blacks are lazy, or Jews are all greedy, or Mexicans are subhuman, or that an invisible creature in the sky will give you gifts in a future life if you swear fealty to him now.

You're right. I don't suffer fools lightly. When I hear someone spout bullshit, I cry "Bullshit!" I don't encourage their spreading MORE bullshit under the guise of "tolerance for other views" or "empathy."

Oh, and that definition of the abrahamic god was the short version. You oughtta hear the FULL description...don't think you'd like it too much. But then, some people just HATE hearing truth.

Well I'll ignore your first comment (none / 0)
about the spelling of a word.

But it's apparent that you don't care much for different opinions than your own. How sad it must be to live in a world where you are dragged down, where no intelligent conversation is possible with about 5 billion ppl in the world, because they are obviously all delusional.

They obviously don't know what is the "thruth", because they are affraid of it.

Give me a break man, many religeous people where smarter than me and many religeous people will be smarter than me. I don't deride religeous peoples morality because they appear to believe God ordanded them to be good, same as many religeous people wouldn't deny that I have a sense of morality just because I don't believe in a God. It is true that non-religeous people wonder how you can be moral without a God and that atheists wonder why you need a god to be moral. In the end most people would agree that it's the actions he takes that makes a man or woman a moral being. Because you can preach all you want, if you are driven by your own greed, people won't like you. The same way you can miss every sunday, if you are a good person, people will be appreciative

But I guess you won't give me a break will you, because you would like for everyone to think just like you, because you are right ant they are wrong.

"Well I'll ignore your first comment ..."

Good. It was meant as a joke.

Here's a shocker: I agree with your sentiments.

The religion a person wears on their sleeve has absolutely nothing to do with the kind of person they are. That was kinda my point. That, and don't try to frame a discussion as "historical" and then annoit the person being discussed with a direct line to gawd's ear. At that point, the train jumps onto a different track.

It's like saying, "Let's talk about these apples," when the bowl is filled oranges.

But, yes, otherwise intelligent people still insist on attributing actions and events to invisible beings. If they are "believers," you can't have an "intelligent discussion" about religion with them because none of their arguments are based in reality.
