Yeah, I saw that, scary stuff. But also so absurd that I was laughing at them all quite a bit too

I never said being gay was a disease did I, stop putting words into my mouth.

There are many people, with many defects, whether it be gay, whether it be autism, whether it be mild, or strong.... its still a mental disablity of some sort or other.

Prove to me, that there is no God, and I will stop giving you my reasons for believing that there is a God

Tell me about it. That's why I am just a very simple person. I'd like to think there is something bigger out there, but after various experiences in life, I just can't buy into religion anymore. I respect the right for others to believe what they want, however confusing at times.

Omnipotent means you can do whatever you like, you seem to be the confused one

But they're not reasons that you're coming up with, it's just your opinions. Whereas the others are coming up with scientific logic and such.

And comparing autism to homosexuality is just weird....

You haven't actually given us any reasons for believing in a god as yet, or at least nothing tangible.

No, I was being flippant. You're still not getting the simplest of concepts.

Of course that's a problem with the lovey dovey Bible part 2, so killing gays it out, you just have to claim their ill or different so you can pity and love them.

I know the bible says so, but that was written by people, not god, per se.

Not if you're a christian. The bible is the infallible word of god. How do they know this? Becuase the bible tells them it is.

Circular logic, got to love it. Of course the bible is littered with inconsistencies and contradictions which causes some really issues.

Given that you know this, why do you attempt to reason with these people? That's borderline illogical in itself.

A defect, is something different from the norm....

If we were all gay, it wouldnt be seen as a defect. Damn, this is like talking to a 5 year old

If we were all amputees, it wouldnt be considered a defect.

However, it is..... because most people on the earth arent amputees....
Just like most people on the earth arent gay.....

Anyway, the gay question is sooo off topic.

Prove to me with tangible evidence that there is no God, and I will go and sit in my corner

Until I start a thread saying "There is a God", then you people will always be on the back foot (cos you have no proof that there isnt a God )
proof)

Night (for the 3rd time - ps I also have a defect.... im addicted to silly threads on SN )

And what about my Flobbledumplingosaurus? You believe in those don't you? After all, i've told you they exist, right?

Yeah that was interesting stuff. Why no answer on that from djmisio85? (well apart from he's off to bed) Hopefully he'll feel like tackling that one in the a.m.

How can djmisio85 assert that anyone who hasn't chosen to blindly follow a religion is missing something from their lives? Prove it or put forward some LOGICAL reasons for religion/god and the belief that the rest of us are missing out on something.

Or alternatively spew forth some more un-logic.

G'night djmisio85. tbc

Because more often than not, there are people on the side lines who are undecided or don't know much about the subject, it's for their benefit I counter this stuff, not in the attempt to convert the likes of djmisio85

Coming from a guy who asked why rocks hadn't evolved, why planets hadn't flown off their orbit and the sun hadn't sucked us all into it's gravitational pull, I find that statement to be massivley funny.
Are you 12, as you clearly haven't gotten to that point in education where they explain some of these points

Cool

Well, after a nice day out with my family, this thread really has taken off again!

It has now become one the most amusing reads around!

The answers by djmisio85 border on the wind up! I don't think that anyone (unless a member of something like Landover or Greenboro Baptists) would come out with answers like that, or perhaps as has been alluded to, they are simply a child and dont' really understand what is being said to them.

I do hope so, because the alternative is a most unsettling thought!

I do hope he wakes up to entertain us some more.

Actually you'd be amazed how many yanks think along similar lines, and not just the out and out nut jobs.
