What you believe... think-act does not exist!Not especially persuasive. What do you mean by "think-act"?
If true, only by default. I would have preferred that we resolved the issue. Best regards.
Emotionally unstable. Good luck.
Do you think the opposite of love is hate?No, of course not. Anyone with a decent education knows: The opposite of love is indifference.
Atheists(negative) are God Haters...my original post!
For further clarification you can read my post #63.

Why all the trouble---who cares...indifference right?
God alone is judge...I only lost my temper at the end. The atheists resorted to ad hominem towards the author quite early.
As far as needing help, all of us do, but some are too proud to admit it.
Emotionally unstable? If righteous indignation is such than emotionally unstable is a badge I will wear with pride.
Moralizing? If that is your only answer to elfman's violation of another's trust, then you too fulfill your role quite well as a typical atheist.

Wrong again. And pitiful.
Doctors refused to vaccinate against smallpox - the Church was against vaccination, how many died of this disease?
Bubonic plague - Church's role in treatment, disposal of bodies - methodology...
Your numbers include religious-related massacres, wars and conflicts...
Try again...
Emotionally unstable was generous. You're simply lying to defend a lie.
Morella slandered and lied in the first sentence. (Proven in #146) So people attacked him.
If a reporter warns a politician that everything he says may be on the record because they think it should be public, and the politician's next sentence is, "I want this off the record: 'bla bla bla…'", there's nothing wrong with reporting it.
But Morella leaves that part out when claiming that he has been wronged and I'm therefore "inherently dishonest". Just like Bill Clinton, saying there "IS" no sexual relationship with Ms. Lewinski, it's intended to leave a false impression. Therefore, it's a lie. Bill Clinton lied. Morrella is lying.
Because I warned him that I may print it, I did not "violate another's trust" as YOU claim. Your remark is like when Bill Clinton said to the nation, "Although my earlier statements were technically accurate, they were less than forthcoming". Bull. Critical details were deleted to give the wrong meaning. So he lied. You leave out that important warning I gave Morella. So you are now lying.
I don't have to pull you out of your denial and get you to say "uncle" on this. It's on the record, and everyone can see it. Now as you and Morrella plan your publicity tour, attacking atheist with lies, you'll be dependent on keeping the truth suppressed with more lies. You won't direct anyone to this thread, you'll just lie about it, hoping it doesn't come to light or if so, not too often.
Curious, that puts you on,… the dark side. That's not the role of a Christian.
I have a great deal of respect for all Christians who live their lives with piety. I don’t see anything (other than maybe misplaced loyalty) worth respecting you for here. Only Fear (afraid to defend #146 on your own), bitterness, and now lying. I don't see any Christianity in your behavior here at all. Just some short sightedly self-serving anger that gets you the privilege of mopping up after a fanatical egomaniac who's too much of a slippery fast talking coward to defend his own lies publicly in a reasoned way.
Morella claimed to be willing to debate, but not here because he doesn't want to have to deal with "my cheerleaders" But this forum's probably 90% populated by conservative Christians. Notice how few have come to either your or Morella's defense.
Christian's are overwhelmingly good people. They know trash when they see it. Your behavior no more represents Christians than that of Osama represents Muslims.
The opposite of love is indifference...very good--agnosticism(neutral)!Would I be right in thinking that English isn't your first language? Agnosticism is the opposite of gnosticism. Gnosticism is not belief in God, per se, it is belief in esoteric knowledge (which can include God, although several centuries ago the Gnostics were a small, heretical Christian sect, persecuted and sometimes executed by the mainstream). Gnosticism is the belief that we can, and probably do, know the truth about what lies beyond the material plane - and some gnostics believe that the truth is a combination of world religions (progressive revelation, that kind of thing), other subscribe to one particular religion and believe in one answer (the Christian God, the Jewish one, the Muslim one, the Hindu pantheon, the wonderful world of Wicca, etc). An agnostic believes either that nothing is known - ie, we don't know the truth yet, none of the existing world religions ring true - or that we can't be sure about what is known - so, we might have the truth available to us, but we have no way of telling that it is the truth.
Atheists(negative) are God Haters...my original post!You're going round in circles. It really is most amusing. I ask again, how is it possible to hate something that doesn't exist? To hate God, one would have to believe in him. One who believed in and hated God would be... a Satanist, presumably. A worshipper of the Fallen Angel. I don't believe in him, either (The Usual Suspects not withstanding).
A neurotic denies--avoids reality(meaning)--a psychotic escapes all realtiy--meaning(self-other than reality delusion--fantasy)!And your point is...? That all religious people fall into one of these two categories? I think that's a little harsh, though not entirely inaccurate. But there's still time - join us atheists in the real world.
You must be a bi-theist...Why?
half-agnostic/half atheist---Well, I'll go as far as admitting that the agnostics are right when they say it's impossible to prove the matter one way or another - certainly not yet, and theoretically never (since, by definition, you can't prove a negative, you can't prove that God doesn't doesn't exist, and no matter how unlikely or supurfluous he seems there's always room for debate). But I'd argue all the evidence suggests there's no design and no designer.
or a schizo!!You still haven't answered my question.
But I'd argue all the evidence suggests there's no design and no designer...oh really?
