So I shows him several shreds, I does.

Wrong. You showed him quotes of Hilter claiming he was a Christian.
Claiming to be something and actually being something are two
entirely different things.

Now, come on. I think it's safe to say that people of ALL religions and
beliefs would classify this lady as mentally ill.

Although some might call it "possessed"?

Funny.

I would say that all people of all religions are mentally ill.

even Uniterian Universalists?


After all, isn't that what we call people who go around talking to
people they can't see or touch?

I haven't seen or touched Jay, but I believe he exists. Am I mentally
ill?

Ah, another believer who refuses to consider any evidence which
contradicts his preconceived notions, no doubt.

wow - you really leap ....


Claiming that you believe in something is generally accepted to be
evidence that you indeed believe in that something.

perhaps. But that wasn't what the request was about.

Whether that eventually proves to be true is another question.

Think about what you just wrote.

But it IS evidence, whether you like the evidence or not.

It's not a question of liking the evidence.

Thanks for all the laughs, especially from a wit -- CFII. And of course I
enjoyed the unintended humor from Matt and Bob.

If you want to have some fun read the de-conversion stories at
www.positiveatheism.org, which is also a great site for the freethinker.

Happy Thanksgiving. I think I'll give thanks to Eros and Bacchus this
year.

Bob, right you are, but he or she will never understand this. I've
given up trying to reason with an anonymous poster who can't even tell
the difference between a claim and a fact.

Both of you make claims and no facts, like your boogie man in the sky and
your denial of A. Hitler's catholicism. One of you even cobbled up a
ridiculous analogy between the absent invisible god and the absent invisible
Jay. There are credible reports that Jay exists. I can fly to Iowa and
find him, he exists, but not your god. Your god is not in any of the
states, not even in the red ones. Jay writes here; your god doesn't. Jay
has an inn; your god has zip. Go fly on the angel's sides of the clouds.
Go play with your angels. And finally Adolf was a christian; get used to
it.

It might be best to be anonymous with so many superstitious, hateful violent
xian kooks out there. True story in Alabama: a Jewish family requested
that their children opt out of school prayers and devotions. The children
were then abused by teachers and other children alike. Suffering from
vandalism and violence the family were terrorized by the good golden rule
xians of the community and constantly under the threat of bodily harm.
They finally had to leave town and move away. Series of articles in George
Magazine several years ago. If you want a reference, I'll find it for you.

Would you be referring to the kind of difference between the fact that
the universe is hundreds of billions of years old, and the claim of
born-agains that it is only 12,000 years old, and started with two
nudists in a garden conversing with a talking snake?

Those kinds of claims and factrs?

Or some other kind of claims and facts?

The snake was quite a beautiful creature, but then to punish it for serving
as a tool of Satan, God decreed it would thenceforth crawl on its belly and
that man would bruise its head and it would bruise man's heel. That sure
does explain it all for me. It would be blasphemous to consider otherwise,
like the fossil record.

I hate to disagree with you because you are obviously the most knowledgeable
person involved in this conversation and I have learned a great deal from
your posts and gotten muh more food for thought, but latest scientific
estimates put the universe at something like 12 to 15 billion years old.

Just a minor correction, but your point is just as valid regardless. I've
always gotten a kick out of that whole lump of clay and a rib thing myself.
If it wasn't so scary, it would actually be funny what some otherwise
intelligent people believe.

ROTFLMAO.
What year is this?
I really hope you don't hold any position involving any kind of authority or
importance.
