    Contrary to what most people believe, logic is love.

    Alright pal, explain that statement. And I am not an atheist. I cannot prove there isn't a supreme creator. I also cannot prove bigfoot isn't real. I cannot disprove things that don't exist. I hate labels but I guess you can call me agnostic.

    I'll leave you all with this song. It's a beautiful story until you realize it is a slave trader talking to a crying African boy to calm him down. It seems to fit this thread, since religion has been used to placate people and society for quite some time.

    Oh Im so sorry, I didnt intend to hurt your feelings, here now you can have the same answer to the same question in this conversation too

    for some strange reason those quantum intelligent brains cant comprehend something as simple as 'absence of evidence is not evidence of absence', and they FAITHfully Believe that no god exists, which is a decision grounded in ignorance of course because it is a logical fallacy.

    false, religion is the result not the precedent.

    Nations can't. If the people of a country won't do it themselves then no amount of government enforced 'charity' will ever be enough or will ever solve the problem.

    If you cannot cite a single advanced, democratic nation that meets your demand that a society's humanitarian values must not be expressed through self-governance as well as through private methods, then you can't.

    You were sad, so I tried to cheer you up and answered directly in your thread, I dont see the problem. Sorry if you dont like the answer, the atheist mantra we see out here built on bluster and bloated egos and logical fallacy, then all brag about the superior logic and reason, nothing I can do about that.

    It's all fun and games until someone gets triggered and antifa shows up at your house.

    I'm not looking for proof there is NO god. And, THAT is what your quote is addressing.

    How do YOU go about proving there are no unicorns, other dimensions, antigravity, alien beings, a zombie ice guy riding a frozen dead horse, etc?

    How can YOU possibly live while thinking YOU actually have to address all the fiction that humans entertain themselves with?

    Please remembr that theism holds that a god exists as a fundamental assumption. If god were the result of some logical argument, then you would need to explain what the fundamental assumptions are, what the evidence is and what the logic is. That's never been any part of what you've presented.

    The organized racism, xenophobia and destruction of democracy are not "fun and games".

    They are a direct assault on America's most fundamental beliefs and commitments.

    As the Qur'an says, everyone may give as a simple smile is a gift. This from a religion of god that believes works are of serious importance - unlike Christianity, where works are at best secondary.

    You weren't probing for whether, but how much.

    And, that's disgusting at best and far more likley part of an assault.

    At least in this thread, that is what Christianity has been boiled down to; guys in white hoods.

    No. I certinly do not accept that.

    What happens here is that there are depricatory remarks made against those of some nonChristian religion someone hates.

    Then it must be pointed out that Christians do it, too.
