Ricky, I wonder if you could get him to admit he's an atheist towards all the mythological gods of early Greece. Bet he'd never want to admit or say he's atheist towards them. More so, he'd just say they're false gods (religious euphemism for atheism in my book).

I'm pretty sure you can't follow any religious belief unless you claim that other gods (the gods that are not of your religion) are false. In that way, everyone is an atheist and the term atheist losses all meaning in describing a person. It was a good thought though.

"...I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

Alright I think I'm done here. JimSDA, you have only shown a lack of knowlege that you refuse to give up on evolution. I have no problem with you disagreeing with it, but all I ask it for you to know what your disagreeing with. You execute fallacy after fallacy (and even two at once), and when I tell you what your doing (in the case of saying that I am only 18 ), you say its only right to commite a fallacy. Fallacies are never correct, thats why they are called fallacies. You try to insult me on my age, my spelling errors, and in a few cases my typos. This only shows that you can only argue against me as a person, not what I'm saying. You don't look for evidence, and dismiss any evidence that goes against you as being fradulent or mistaken, with out so much as a counter argument. For example, you dismiss the Bad Astronomy article simply because it goes against what you have previously heard, without so much as a reason why. When I tell you how your evidence is invaild or flawed, you go into subjects such as I have to believe or I am going to Hell, only playing red herring (changing the topic) to aviod further discussion on matters which could show a weakness in your belief. You also rarely reply to what I have said. In this, no discussion can ever take place unless both parties are willing to comment on what each other has said. You have been unwilling to do so, so the discussion will end with me leaving.

To end this, I would like to say that I hope that the rest of the members on this forum are not like JimSDA. I certainly have no reason to think that you guys are, and I have nothing at all against the rest of you. Just one last word, "Never stop questioning" - Albert Einstien.

Oh yea, and before I go, I would also like to say thanks to the owner, for you have shown true tolerance in inviting me and allowing me to post here. That is something which I deeply respect.

Ha! Now you edited yours while I was replying to it. Way to call the kettle black!

Ah, I was trying to edit my last post before anyone read it, but you're just too quick Dave.

Edit: And I am done posting there, that JimSDA just refused to listen and I felt nothing else could come out of the conversation. Hopefully others who read my posts there will get more out of it than jim did.

I think I made a pretty good last post there:

If anyone else would like to post there, remember the invitation has been extended to all members of this board. I would like to see the responses they give, all though I'm pretty sure they will be on the line of "Because the Bible says so".
