Please feel free to skulk off, onin.


Your position is indefensible.

You made a claim that your beliefs are based on YOUR study and YOUR reflection. The idea that such a thing is any more valid than any other person's similar process is problematic. Meanwhile your claim is suspect to say the least. Not to mention you make claims against religion like it is not based on a similar process. If it isn't I have to ask what process you think created it?


Your position is ignorant and illogical in multiple ways. That is why you can't answer simple questions.

I love when people use the expression "Butthurt"

Yes, I study the great thinkers.


That's what sets me apart from religion. I'm flexible in my thinking, thoughful before deciding a position, and agreeable to change if something better comes along. The same cannot be said for religion, in fact, doing so relegates religions to their rightful myth status just that much faster.


I can't imagine the byzantine thought prossess religious relativists and apologists like yourself have to go through. It would be so much easier if you just gave up believing that the fairies, ghosts, gremlins, or whatever control everything.

Enkidu just proves you can be a smart educated scientist and still be totally smug and closed-minded.

Religion has a lot more validity. Astrology is nothing but a con. There is plenty of con in religion, but there is also the desire to trick people into doing the right things.

Not closed minded at all Yuki. Tell me where I'm going wrong, because I jus don't see it?


How does having a set of rules made up thousands of years ago by unknown players look good to you? How does believing in a god who apparently didn't give a rats ass about humans for the first 150,000 years of their existence look good to you? Seriously, wtf?

You are basically proving my point for me. You can't resist being smug and closed-minded on the subject no matter how hard you try.


P.S. I am not religious.

Thanks for such a fantastic demonstration of your ignorance.

Giving you both a chance to say something intelligent here, but you don't seem up to the job.
