see what i was saying `time ` you have a lot of time GET A LIFE  !!!

I replied to your inane responses, you avoided addressing those replies directly and went with "get a life".  Thanks, I have one, (whether or not I choose to apply some of my time to helping you waste yours is certainly my decision to make).

I didn't grow up going to church, and I wouldn't consider myself a religious person--but I believe that there has to be something that started all of this--the big bang couldn't have come from nothing! What I do know is that if you consider yourself a religious person, then bad things are just a part of life. I believe that things happen for a reason, and I like to take the positive out of every situation, otherwise life would be pretty depressing 8) Oh and anyone who needs to tell someone to "get a life" should worry about their own life and not everyone elses.

Yes however, attributing it to a hypothetical deital source doesn't follow authomatically, (consider such alternatives as emergent theories).

Presumably, telling someone else to "get a life" is intended as a diversion from the fact that they had no significant rebuttal.

This is a very valid point falcon--I believe the old saying "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all."

Yes, I do believe in God, but I don't attend church every Sunday to 'prove' my faith.

Somehow, I suspect that most religious adherents do believe they are saying something "good", (and that any dissenting viewpoint represents saying the opposite in order to fall under the "don't say anything at all" part of that colloquilism).  The way I see it, these publically-posted religious opinions which promote superstitious religious beliefs don't fall under "saying something good"; hence the dissenting replies.

It isn't "faith" for which "proof" is being requested; it's hard evidence in the existence of what religious adherents have "faith" in.  Got any?
