  2. And you my friend fail to appreciate the humor we find in so called experts finally discovering basically what we've known all along.

  3. Evidently by being a little brighter than you at picking up concepts, but don't worry your time will come.

  4. you are evading the question. when you base your life on a fear shouldnt you at least be able to explain it in a cogent manner?

    I never said that. You are so intent on proving your superior intellect that you are incapable of listening to the other side and understanding what he said. Instead, you throw up a straw man and argue with yourself, just so that you can feel smarter than everyone else. Meanwhile, everyone else just rolls their eyes as you revel in your self righteousness.

  7. You still don't get it do you ?
    I said you think "fear is what drives people to god"?
    I contend that's not true.

    Then you said it was a common indoctrination tool and it was used on you.

    Using you as a case in point the tool didn't match with the drive, and now you are a bitter atheist.

  8. Please show me where I have given credence to fear is what drives people to god?


    Rational people reading the above post would correctly presume I don't.

    You are the one who keeps inventing positions for me: how about not trying to be a liberal piece of shit for once, you might learn something.
