Do the athiests have a Pope? I am still trying to figure out "top athiest".
This is a sad attempt Xian, even for a fundi like you. |
Attempt at what? It isn't my article, I posted it for discussion.

You are like the person in the group who needs to have the first and last say on everything. Stop being so paranoid. Anytime a thread goes spiritual you are there to refute with no solid argument and criticism for the spiritually minded. The article doesn't support Christianity, but does promote many interesting implications for people such as Mr Flew and those who are open enough to have a look into the possibilities that there might be intelligent design. |
The entire article is an obvious critisism of non-religious folk, and that is why you posted it. What discussion is there? ONE guy has decided (at 83) that intelligent design has merit.

You are the crazy fundamentalist that kept our civilization atleast 200 years behind where we should be. |
You think there is no discussion about intelligent design?
Do you even understand what true Christian fundamentalism is? You say it so many times. I doubt any true fundamentalist would participate on a board like this.
You are paranoid and suspicious anytime a Christian says something. Take the topic as it is and get over the fact that a Christian posted it. If I had some agenda to convince the readers that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, I could have come up with something far more to the point than the original post.
I am definitely not out to criticise people who don't believe the same things as me. I lived 25+ years without ever opening a Bible or going into a church and I lived an extremely different life to what I live now. I am not ignorant as to many of the issues as to why people don't believe the things that I do. But I certainly love to discuss the issues with those who have a genuine interest to discuss the topics in a reasonably civil manner. This is not about criticising people for thinking differently. |

| I might have aspired to being a "top atheist" when I was about 18 years old. Now I strictly abide by the lax credo of the middling agnostic, more or less inadvertently on principle. |

Fine, I aplogize. There are fundamentalists on this board who do try to convert. I grouped you in and that was wrong of me. You have remained civil while I was somewhat insulting (unusual for me). I guess the weirdos on this board just get to me sometimes. I'm sorry.
I still 100% disagree with most of the views you have posted on this board, but that's just one of the great things about our societies  |

No worries.

Yes, I guess that is also something that makes these conversations that much more interesting. How long would each thread last otherwise  |
