I am not sure yet. but the loudest of us aint from these parts. they are not seeking healing and learning. In fact, they openly deny any learning that uses science if they perceive that information will land between atheist and theist and bring them together.

I have to ask why would a person do that? there are not many answers.

You see? 'As will I'. That has absolutely no relevance to what you are quoting! Did you mean to say 'As I have been', which at least would have made some sense with regard to my statement about 10 years of posting but 'As will I' makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! A course in basic English might go some way to helping people understand what you are trying to say or perhaps an explanation of what you want to convey? Now go and take your tablet!

He doesn't like it, he decries it from the rooftops, he demands change... but has absolutely no idea of what to put in it's place.

wrong ... thats a flat self fulling false statement so you can strengthen your claim to yourself. in effect, you try and lesson others stances to make yours more valid.

your anti-god/religious crusade can't stand on its own legs. it just doesn't have any observational support.

fighting against injustice, for separation and church of state, and freedom of religion will have some natural overlap with your anti-religious socialist invasion of the united states.

The question is what limits do you guys have in your crusade?

The "problem of evil" is a good example of what I mean. That argument is a weak argument and acting like it doesn't have serous flaws (wholes) in it, in an attempt to maintain atheist unity and help the cause is what people like me won't accept.

How much science must you deny for the sole reason that you think you know whats best for us?

there isn't any god ref. But we are in a larger more complex system. and if we classify us as life, what in no-god's name do we classify it as?

"deny it because we aren't sure and hate religion?" yeah, we aint in this for the same reason raf. your in it push a statement of belief about god only.

One of the reasons I post here is because I'm always hoping to better understand death. Around age 5, I realized everyone else seemed to be okay with it except me.

I think one of the largest reasons Christianity has survived is because of the promise of ‘life after death’. People want ‘hope’ and something to take them out of the reality that ‘this is all there is’.

The promise of heaven is the carrot. Hell is the stick.
