I for one will see how long this lasts. People who are 'right-fighters' and 'last-worders' NEVER seem to be able to NOT come back for more. You left D&D, for good, a couple months ago and then came back to help out jcribb. The result of that was more hurt feelings, you cannot take back words once they are said or written, and quite a few posters also figured you out for what you really are - not the 'well of christian kindness' you tried to portray yourself as. Peace out, beeatch. 8)

I, for one, just am too low to argue, anyway. There are some great people on here and just because we differ in our religious/non-religious belief, doesn't mean we can't speak of other things outside of religion. I have things going on right now - I'm just way down in the valley.  I hope some Christian friends will pray for me. I hope things cool down in here.  Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend...

Everything I wrote to you is the absolute truth!  Only should have used better words.

Your statement right here reminded me of this quote:

"Religion is the art of sugar-coating a turd and selling it as a donut." - Pat Condell

"It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

Quote from Walks:
I don't even care if someone isn't a perfect speller (GASP!!!)
  :o you still remember that...?  (All a person's gotta do is suggest a "spell checker" on FC... and noone ever lets ya forget et!) 
Actually, no I don't remember any post about spell check, lol. I argue with spell check all the time trying to tell me what to do, lolol.

We find the most terrible form of atheism, not in the militant and passionate struggle against the idea of God himself, but in the practical atheism of everyday living, in indifference and torpor. We often encounter these forms of atheism among those who are formally Christians. - Nicolai A. Berdyaev

Well, I tell you, if I have been wrong in my agnosticism, when I die I'll walk up to God in a manly way and say, Sir, I made an honest mistake. --H. L. Mencken

jcribb,
I'm sorry you are feeling low, know that feeling. I will send positive thoughts your way and hope you're able to 'climb back up' soon.

QON,
Love the donut quote!

As the one by Berdyaev, pfft. I am neither indifferent or lacking sensibility. :P

To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, "I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge" --Ravi Zacharias

I would love to have a way, off of FC, to communicate with QON, Amy, Falconer, Walks, Sheryly, and Sherene. Not to talk about FC, just to be able to get to know you all more.


ya got a pen handy?

Infinite knowledge?   ::)  You're the one who can't prove your god exists, despite having the burden of proof.  We're expected to rule out all of the thousands of gods that have come and gone before you have to prove yours?  Uh-uh, doesn't work like that!

And this quote is invalid because *a theism* does not deal with knowledge...that would be gnosticism, hello!

Prove he doesn't.  The burden of proof is not on our side.  You and Falconer keep saying this like a broken record and have been answered x times over.

Are you saying you don't use knowledge?  Everything requires knowledge.  I'll go get another one.  It's right up your ally.

And gnosticism is neither a Christian concept or attribute.
