I think, GAD, the jury is still out on whether or not I am a “miserable human being”.

A website dedicated to “reason” and the promulgation of “secular” values becomes HIJACKED by a bunch of mundane thinkers and people with personal issues up their assess, and a person comes along and points this out, and this person is a poor excuse for a human being because of it?

Please.

If there ever was a group of idiots (as religious people have been called in so many ways over and over on this website), Project Reason has become one.

If human history, Holy Scriptures, billions of witnesses, the discoveries of scientific limitations, the discovery of a universe that fits the mold of a divine power and a divine intellect being at work, and many other things besides—if all these things prove to be “true revelations” of the existence of God, then every post written by every atheist on this website and every book written by opinionated atheist “thinkers” like Sam Harris will all amount to one of the biggest piles of shit ever piled up.

Time will prove all.

But, in the meantime, science and human reason have not “revealed” to us that God does not exist.

Science has fallen short of such a discovery on every front it has taken up the challenge to do so.

Human reason has shown to be infiltrated with human “opinion” more than with human “knowledge”.

The misery you feel when you read some of my posts (such as this one) is the power of the spirit of the living God crushing the false doctrines of atheism under its little toe.

Don’t blame me. Blame yourselves.

Little infant sitting in god’s lap with a rhetorical dirty bomb strapped to his everything has yet another tantrum, screaming and crying that the plane he wilfully boarded has been hijacked by the pilot, in conspiracy with the passengers.

While it has been fun watching you just decompose, rampage and soil yourself, the repetition and predictability have made it tiresome.  You really are a one-trick pony in this forum.  It’s like watching a person eat their 75th stanined urinal cake.  The novelty has worn off.  In the flesh, you must just be the most miserable, disconsolate hump ever.  Does the question ever arise as to why come to this forum every single day looking for a fight only to embarrass yourself, be manhandled, and occupy the role of forum troglodyte?  It’s really kind of pathetic.  Is there no place you can go where people pig pile bromides on top of glurge on top of jesus-makes-me-feel-tingly signs and wonders gobledygook, where your additions could be seen as additive as opposed to bankrupt?

That’s why we consider BM a forum chew toy for newer posters.  He get all slimy after a time, but he thrives on that since he has no other use.  He squeaks now and then, but as my small dog does, the squeaker gets chewed out; only to be replaced with another one making the same noise.  Unless you’re a small dog, it gets boring quite quickly.

There is my truth.  There is your truth.  There is the real truth.  Neither of us can claim that third. Maybe if we talk, we’ll both get closer.

They have the pat answer. God made free-will, in a deterministic universe, and those of us who disbelieve, make that choice to do so. We can rationalize God all we want to, but it get’s us no further down the road to knowledge, for we do not know the mind of God, only our own mind of free-will.

How did I do? It’s so easy to be religious!

I like it…so only those “enlightened” few will know this through revelation I expect, so why bother trying to convince the rest of us, it’s obviously going to be a pointless mission.

Hey Mario, can’t you find a God site that pretends to utilize Reason like IDers pretend to utilize Science to satisfy yourself? You wannabes need to get creative on your own in developing your new religions. It only goes to show that religion can’t stand up on its own merits. Y’all keep attacking science and reason because it’s breaking down your house of cards but then want to use the same standards for defense. Of all the things that you keep saying will never happen, that’s the only one that can’t and won’t. You just can’t play with the big boys no matter how much you cry to your sky-daddy. Get lost Mario.

Hey, Wronganswerer, can’t you tell that I have a better grasp of “reason” and more credentials in that regard than you. You think that being an atheist has turned your silly opinions about reality into “brilliant” thoughts about reality simply out of some twisted osmosis.

Seeing human experience as the only “reality” is not unique. The whole world has been jumping on that band wagon for 150 years now. It is not the “great discovery” of modern man. But the “great shame” of modern thought.

God is being erased from human consciousness because of the self-centered people walking on the planet today, not because of the deep thinking people walking on the planet today. So stop passing yourself off as one. Smoke another butt and puff your unhealthy life away, before you do any more harm than you already have. And, why do I think you smoke? Because you are a guy who only listens to the sounds inside your head, and ignores the warnings and truth told to you by others. That’s why…and that’s the meaning behind your atheism.

If you did, then I could. I guess God’s selling you short. Why has He forsaken you? Are your palms bloody too?
