I am happy the way I am. I don't fear ghosts, goblins, devils, or demons. If God exists, He can let me know anytime He wants.

Well I'm so glad that you do not fear "ghosts, goblins, devils, or demons ." By the standard of God Who is Truth, such things are not to be feared by men.

If I had evidence, I would be a believer too.

Please see my earlier commentary re: "proof" in your situation.

The fact that so many believers are rude, semi-literate goobers makes it a hard club to join though.

This last is the statement of a cultural bigot.

Why do you think that Christians "are rude, semi-literate goobers?" Do you not know the magnificent history of the Church, its amazing legacy to mankind in the sciences and in philosophy? Which originally conceived the idea of the university? And whose members have articulated the most profound discoveries WRT man and his place in the universe over the past centuries?

Who is the "semi-literate goober" here, Soliton?

Thanks, betty, for the ping. I sometimes miss the more interesting threads, but I can often count on you to flag me down. I especially appreciate the HiHo since my contributions tend to run from the meager to the virtually nonexistent.

This last is the statement of a cultural bigot.

May I say something here? I don’t think being a rude, semi-literate goober is necessarily a Christian characteristic (or that of an Atheist, etc). It’s a human characteristic that afflicts Christians and Atheists alike (Evolutionists even). So whenever I get assailed as “a rude, semi-literate goober” (actually, I’ve never been hit with those particular pejoratives), I’m pretty well assured that something else is bugging my assailant, and, you can be reasonably certain that a drive for political domination plays its part in the assault.
