That's because you do not desire anything from telling other people about buying a Ford or a Chevy.

You make me laugh. You can't even decide if god has ultimate control, or not.

So you agree. lol



Then how come I never see atheists from other countries attacking their religions? Nope, it's always Christianity.



The impression I've always got is that an atheist would rather cut off his tongue than ever admit openly that they were wrong.



Probably so. lol I constantly question why I bother wasting my time here.
Twisting another's posts...as you do in your second paragraph, is tantamount to lying.

If you could make a clear and convincing case that I am wrong, then I would agree that I am wrong. Instead you make various claims based largely on "it's true because that's what what Christians believe." Assertions which are which are easy to overcome. So admitting to being wrong is never really in the picture.

I wonder if Jeff realizes that few on the forums live in India or Islamic world.

OP if you re.ad the R&S and Christianity forums you will find many of your "good" Christians posting outright lies about atheists and atheism and 8f we did not read or post here those blatant falsehoods would go unchallenged. And some of us live in 0art of the world, in my case Canada, where one is very limited in way of contact with the evangical fundamentalist Christian right of the USA and yet we are still indirectly affected by them, being on these forums gives some insight on what and how some of them think which gives some assistance in trying to understand what they mean in their words and actions.

Christians post on the atheists forum and some threads are very good there when one of them comes over to try to understand why we do not believe what they think is obvious. And the way that Christians bash each other for being the wrong type of Christian, they need no help from non Christians.

Right. Christian fundamentalist, whatever/whoever they are, are the problem, not the capitalist who own the prisons etc.

Perhaps God ordered the murder; He is so fond of doing that.

Oh, so you do remember having asked the question before, despite saying otherwise.

Typical dodging. I can't recall one time where an atheist answered my questions.

Atheists can't even agree on what exactly would qualify as accepted evidence. If an atheist has a personal supernatural experience, the atheist community turns on him like that one neurologist who had a NDE. I think atheists are afraid of evidence.
