Very entertaining evo, cheers. :)

Most people who have plucked chickens, have plucked them while believing in God. This does not mean that you need to believe in God to pluck a chicken.

This is the atheism thread, evo. Keep . out of this.

There is no such thing as . I firmly believe this. It's a kind of religion to me.

And even . may be overstating it. Let's try . Yes. Entirely satisfactory.

There is no such thing as . This is my credo.

How can there be no such thing as something that you are talking about. Even if there was no such thing, there is now, as you have just created it by talking about it. ;)
 
Of course there can be no such thing as something being discussed Jay. How about we have a chat about the Loch Ness monster, or martians, or skillful, tough Richmond footballers? Make-believe is a wonderful thing.

Surprised you didn't add God to that list Patsy.

Fair enough to believe that, jay. But there is no way that it's logical.

You can believe what you want. I do.

It was clearly a tongue in cheek comment Duckman, but thanks for the serious response. If I was evo I would say something like "But perception can be the equal of reality as if I perceive something to be real, even though it is not, it is still real to me". Of course I think that is largely a load of crap but it is interesting to show how you can argue certain points using different angles.

That's what i reckon humans have done with all these gods. ie. talked about them enough so that they seem real. Invented them, if u like.

I can't remember if it has been covered much on this thread but how do the evolutionist Atheists feel in knowing that the founder of their beliefs, Charles Darwin, believed that Black people were less evolved (and therefore closer to the apes) than white people? Does this smack of racism at all to you? He was pretty firm in this belief, if I understand correctly, but do you believe that he got this wrong given that people of all races today are considered equal? Or do you believe that we are more highly evolved than the Indigenous Australians, Native Americans or Native Africans?

Darwin isn't the founder of my beliefs at all.

And an extremely large amount of direction from various sources.

Bit cheeky there Michael J. One can be right on one matter but not on another (or wrong all the time a la Redford)
 
Weren't his thoughts based on the fact that these people hadn't developed advanced civilisations like some others? I think reading the actual literature might be useful before drawing a conclusion either way.
