I'm not an atheist, but I can't stand religionists who abandon faith and try to debate with logic.

In other words, you can't stand logically consistent religionists? So, you're a deist or a double-truth advocate then?

Besides I too am a zionist.

So you believe Mashiach is going to come and annihilate the `Amaleqites, build the Third Temple, and then the dead will be resurrected? How does an evolutionist come off believing such outlandish things?

I will happily debate as if I'm an atheist if you like though

I'm sure you'd be more than happy to "pretend" to be an atheist. I'm equally sure you wouldn't know how to advocate the other position.

I'm glad you don't make the rules around here. Religious bigotry doesn't belong on FR or any other republic

I know! What I don't know is where "rationalists" get all these values of theirs they cherish so deeply! After all, did the big bang give a flying frick whether or not billions of years in the future there would be religious bigotry? Does the vast universe weep tears if someone insults someone else's religion? I'm trying to understand here why "thou shalt not kill" makes any more sense in such a world than "it is forbidden to partake of the sacrifice before the blood has been sprinkled on the altar." BTW, I notice with some confusion that apparently one can only be guilty of "religious bigotry" if one is insulting one "irrational" religion from the perspective of another. Rationalists seem to be able to make any sort of insult and somehow magically escape the label of "bigot."

Would you care for an honest debate? One without insult based on logic? I can show you how a rationalist arrives at a moral life. I will also be happy to quote scripture with you and explain the big bang.

Do you know what a soliton is?
