    That should be obvious. Anyway, it's the religious who believe that races were created by god. The rest of us believe in natural selection and evolution.

    I am an agnostic. Apparently, he is not.

    Yes, it really really should be. But apparently to at least two posters here it somehow isn't.

    To put it another way: Not believing isn't the same as disbelieving.

    I don't think you know what negation means. I don't think you know what choice means either. You already showed us you don't know what Orwellian means. And you clearly don't grasp that atheism has multiple meanings. Are you sure English is your first language?

    See, you dont even know how to be agnostic! LMAO
    another atheist nonresponsive concession!
    you should have seen the disaster when the bird tried to construct his first truth table, I split a gut laughing, along with everyone else.
    I'd wager you are another atheist that 'dont know' so you are illegally hijacking agnostic! LMAO, and that is NOT an agnostic.
    besides everyone on the planet has no choice to believe anything but atheist according to the bird now that he taught us about the atheist gene and we are all aware its in our genetics

    No need. You already did.

    Correct it isn't. Yet somehow, I know it better than you do. That's pretty sad for you.

    I never said anything about an atheist gene. That is entirely your own invention.

    you are the one imagining nonexistent distinctions, and cant explain them, I proved my position and your knowledge of logic is so limited you dont even recognize a proof when its right in front of you LOL.

    sure you did, when you strawmanned the rebuttal from the metaphysical realm to that stupid biological 'no choice' nonsense, so are you now admitting how foolish that was, using biophysical elephant genetics to pretend humans have "no choice" but to be atheist?

    Your hero Flew 'chose' to believe in God after believing he was an atheist all his life, apparently his atheist gene mutated. Do you think it was because of all the illogical :icon_shithappens: he stood in all his life?

    Sounds like 'choice' to me.

    No, not from me. From you. You did all the work yourself. I accept your concession.

    I can not make myself believe I am an elephant simply by choosing to. Nor can I make myself believe God exists simply by choosing to.
    Flew is not my hero. You keep claiming he is.
    In both of the above you think you know my mind better than I do. That is arrogant idiocy, and nobody should take you seriously.

    Anyone who does anything right or good is more than a believer of this or that religion, but an actual lover of God to that degree. And to do it not to be seen but simply for the sake of kindness or even respect for law and boundary, is near to a sincere prayer in ones closet. And so we are always supplicating, appealing, sacrificing and storing thru our actions. Our immediate rewards are anothers smile or the knowledge that it is the right thing to do. Pretty much everyone lives the gospel of Jesus Christ to one degree or another. And this is to the adversary's utter scorn, that God resides so blissfully within our hearts, minds and souls, his immeasurable grace at large, holding softly back the raging misery for our safe passage. Take stock. If one has done well, then rest. Nights are for sleep, not worry. Be glad and rest upon the truth. Make a to do list for tomorrow. Then take it up tomorrow. And let peace be our reward. It will all work out. None of us holds the universe in its place.

    good luck getting any neoatheist to agree with that, you just said the evil word "religion".

    You're conflating generalities which are evident about blacks with racism. It's evident blacks have socialists as leaders. It's evident blacks don't to school much past high school. It's evident blacks vote democratic about 95% of the time. It's evident the black community doesn't encourage independent thought. It's evident blacks like greasy and fatty foods.

    BTW, aren't you racist when you consider the white Trump supporter as racist?...I mean, I'm a white Trump supporter and I'm not racist.

    Not believing in something because there's no proof of the something has everything to do with atheism.
