    Who said anything about wishful thinking? I'm not wishing my theory to be right, simply stating what I observe.

    I don't know what you're getting at with your post, well actually I do, but I'm not part of you're "is a dick a dick, or dick a prick" crowd, that will argue the relevant points of toenail clippings.

    You can use all the semantics you want but the opposite of black is white and the opposite of life is death.

    the only difference between an atheist and a believer (Christian, Muslim, doesn't really matter) is the denial of yet another god. Christians believe in only one god, and dismiss all the others.

    atheists just dismiss that one other god as well.

    Que the peanut gallery.

    Number 1, why would I be pissed? My days of getting upset because of comments on a message board ended a long, long time ago when I realized how idiotic it was.

    Number 2, how am I engaging in wordplay when I give the exact definition of the meaning (relative to me) behind my words?

    Number 3, being called a fool from a pinheaded needledick is just so enlightening. Thanks.

    So what's your beef.
    I'm simply stating that what you are simply stating is obviously bullshit.
