I think you too are missing the point. I'm not talking about having knowledge of EVERYTHING. I'm referring to the only means by which we are able to grasp knowledge through reason as it conforms with objective reality. A speck of sand is fact, it is reality that you and I both cannot deny as...

I'll agree with that. It is also a philosophical view on religion not on political views as you have tried to associate communism with atheism in the other OP. I know. There are other things such as ghosts, spirits, devils, demons and pretty much anything relating to the imaginary...

How do you know who I'm talking about? Your wife? Hey, I'm not against same sex marriage. No problem. Wow! Amazing. I think she had a pretty good sense of humor if you ask me. I was watching a video on Youtube with her being interviewed by Phil Donahue back in the 60's and believe me, she...

How did we get here seems to be a common question religious people challenge atheists and nonbelievers with. Why is that? :scratch: What is our purpose here on earth? Where are we going? Who are you? and on and on it goes with all these meaningless questions. It's questions like these...

Ok Rasta, I'll try to make it a little easier for you since you sidestepped my question on reason. Which method would you rely on more in determining truth? Faith or reason? Here's a little hint for you. Truth should always without doubt conform with fact and reality. Take your time.

What I think you misunderstood in my comment was on reason. Is there any other means by which to separate fact from fiction? Reason should be the only logical answer. So let me ask you. Is there a higher judge of truth/fact than reason? Sorry but that is not arrogance. Sorry you got your...

No but those are the basic characteristics of atheism. Using ones own mind set free from superstition. Atheism is the heart of reason. After all, is there any other way to separate fact from fiction? Oh that's right. You're not an atheist. You're a Pantheist right? That's different from...

Hey thanks for the update putna. No talking snakes in the big Q? That's awesome. Did your God create man from dirt and the woman from his rib? Isn't religion incredible?

Hi there WW, Are you sure you're not related to someone else in here who despises Ayn Rand? You almost sound just like her. If I were a visitor from another planet and I read this I would be of the impression that this woman was probably the most wicked person in the universe from your...

Proof that intelligence isn't required to be a Senator.

Why not atheism? It's not a religion. It really has nothing to offer except simply thinking for yourself. No gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. The only thing atheism offers is for one to use their own mind. In my not so humble opinion, it's the most logical, rational means for...

And your point is?

I have never read anything by LaVey and that is an interesting insight you have come to conclude but I can't really agree or disagree. I think religion especially monotheistic religions like Christianity gives people a false sense of hope they will eventually live forever in the after life if...

Just gotta love her philosophy. Great stuff.

There is no need for angels. God should be able to handle any situation, after all, He is all-powerful isn't He? It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Does gullibility refer to believing other things written in the Quran also? Does the Quran have a talking snake? I never did have the opportunity to look into that? Keep me posted. Thanks.

Why do you believe that ?

This really cracks me up when I hear someone saying money can't bring happiness ! Amazing. It's considered the root of all evil and yet churches and TV evangelists are constantly begging for it. Give me a break. I'd know what to do with a million dollars thank you very much. It's not that...

At least you're doubting and questioning. That's the main thing. Keep up the good work.

That's interesting. So when did you deconvert?
