Katz, I hope you know I have a great deal of respect for you.

And I hope you know that I can do so while still thinking your beliefs are - to be generous - difficult to accept as true.

But I am capable of separating the beliefs from the actions of the person - and it is the actions that matter to me.

You are a good person trying to do good things. That you do so in honour of a god I don't believe exists matters not.

What's important is that you walk the walk of a person who cares about others and who believes judgement - if it is to be administered in the afterlife - is the providence of one wiser than we.

She didn't ask that, wallflash. She asked for the evidence that man created God.

Which I guess I didn't exactly get around to addressing in the post above...

But quite frankly, I think a quick perusal of the bible is all the evidence one needs that THAT particular version of god is definitely a man-made construct. It behaves entirely like a spoiled, psychotic, murderous brat rather than some admirable, greater-than-human god-thing.

It's even more self-centered and narcissistic than the Greek, Roman and Norse gods - and equally unbelievable - to some of us at least.

I'm pointing out the hypocrisy on your side.

Throwing out insults without a counter argument doesn't make you look impressive either.

It indicates an acknowledgment that their case is weak and certainly paints a yellow stripe down their virtual backs.

Resorting to taunts and mockery simply means that you have nothing to bring to the table. Why should I bother listening to your white noise anymore?

So instead of giving me a counter-argument, you make this kind of pointless jab comment which serves nothing to the discussion. I'm tired of it.

I can't make a counter argument when I don't understand your argument. Your thinking is twisted up in knots.
