Anti-theist

That doesn't even make sense. I'm not sure that makes sense, either. My pension is direct deposited to my bank account. I withdraw as needed. And I do pay taxes on that pension. Is paying taxes what you mean by "hand it over to the friendly government?" I don't think of it that way. I think of it as paying my share of the support services that I depend on. I'm not sure what that's all about either. It seems that what you dislike about liberals, is the bullshit that you have made up in your head.

No, jar has not convinced me of that. Reading the gospels convinced me of that.And I was very disappointed as a teenager, when I discovered that Christianity as practiced is chock full of hypocrisy.

Just to be clear, I am not against you or against your personal beliefs. You are entitled to those.Nobody is telling you what you should do. They are just reminding you of what Jesus taught.

The liberals are ready to cooperate. I very much doubt that the conservatives are ready.

That's not atheists injecting doubt. It is theists demonstrating that they have no supporting evidence.

Then nobody should be talked into a faith. So WLC should be out of a job.

We call those "conservatives" and we often mention them.

I note that the subtitle is "hatred of thinking".I doubt that Phat hates thinking. It's more likely that he just isn't very good at thinking. He never acquired the skills.

Yes, that's Phat -- liable to fall for anything. And we see that liability in his posts.

There's no anger here.I upvoted Message 860 because the meme seemed to ring true. I began to question Christianity after I started reading the Bible for myself. If I had been content to go with what others told me, I might never have had those doubts.

I agree that AZPaul3 is anti-theist. I'm not. I have rejected theism for my own life, but I don't try to impose that on others. Wars are complex and have complex causes. Human greed is often one of those causes. Blaming it all on religion might be too simplistic. There's a point of agreement.
