Amen, brother! Atheism is illogical!

Except when you pray during break, the schedule of which is never posted in advance. In that case, your prayer goes in the rubbish bin. Timing, people. It's all about timing.

P.S. I said "Most likely" not "most definately."
You, DewDropInn, keep trying to make me look bad and try to make God look bad because a young child suffers. So, according to you, what happens to the little child after they die?

Cupper, according to your 10 Commandments, why do you attack my character by accusing me of smoking dope or eating psychedelic mushrooms for how I believe?

Yeah, it's sooooo much more comforting (and sensible) to believe that your kids are suffering the righteous wrath of a supernatural being.

Just an evasion tactic by you. I never accused you of believing something you didn't. I said "Most likely" you believe such and such. That gives you wiggle room to tell me what you actually believe. But I understand if your belief about a child suffering their whole life and then dying and poof, nothing else, is too embarrassing.

Why you balk at my understanding on this issue is actually amazing. My scenario has the child experiencing evil for what appears a split second when compared to an eternity of good.

So how about it? You gonna quit evading the question and just hope it goes away and you can continue slandering my God?

If you don't tell me I'm going to pray that God will bless you with lots of smiles. There! Take that! :-)
