Your hatred is on par with the ranting and raving Jihadist lot you see on telly. Drop us a PM when you're on the radio next.

Thanks.

You truly are delusional and apparently have zero idea of how you're coming across despite your fellow atheists pointing it out seceral times.

You see unlike yourself I've never tried to win anything. I'm not trying to score any points again unlike you. I keep answering questions but because they're not the answers you want you persist in changing the rules to enable you to mock. Read the rest of this thread and you'll see I'm not the only one. You've admitted you were wrong once because you read what you wanted to read (not before you got in a few digs) and you are still incapable of explaining to us why you feel the need to ridicule.

I think you will find, reading through the thread, you are the one who has been arguing and insulting people.

To accuse Russ of "hatred" is insulting, as it is your language and approach that have been full of negative feelings and comments.

And now you are trying to be the "victim".

Peace be with you.

Sadly, it seems the hatred and insults only seem to have come from one side. And that side is (although I am ashamed to admit it) the atheist side.

No, it just looks that way because there's more of them

I see this thread as this. some men sitting in a pub around a table discussing the existence of God and all the rest that goes with it. they are all atheists.

a non atheist walks past and overhears their conversation, so gets himself a chair and joins in the conversation. he has opposing views to theirs. and now he has joined in the conversation it's only natural that the conversation has now changed it's original mood

have to say also that it doesn't help when this man gets a load of books out of his bag and reads bits out of each in answer to all questions flying around the table.

I think a better anaology would be if an atheist stood up in a pub and asked of any believers could answer his question. More and more joined in on either side including a few atheist who perhaps have had a bit too much to drink as they'd clearly left their manners at the door.

I am atheist and for one have read most of the posts on here and have also posted on here but never as you have stated above, but I am aware of who has posted negatively without any real arguments coming through in their posts.

Any analogy that suits could be used Russ.

that's what happens when you discuss religion. some people discuss the logic of it all, and if this and that were the case then how did that and this make it possible. nobody really has the answers. you don't have the answers. the answers you have are what you believe. and that's where it all goes the way it does when discussing religion. there's a fullstop on being able to answer a logical question.

Why then? because I believe it to be. is the discussion when involving both sides.
Why then? because it might be. is the discussion when involving one side.
Why then? is never asked when involving the other side of the one side.
that is just the way it always goes, and will never change I don't think.

For a Christian you've got some serious anger issues and may I suggest you take a good look at your faith as your faith has obviously taught you nothing.

Even I know it teaches 'forgiveness' and I doubt there's a clause that makes this inapplicable to angry welsh men. Making constant digs and snide comments at myself and others will get you no-where apart from making yourself look like an argumentative git.

Firstly you've never seen (and never will see) me angry.

Secondly you don't know a tenth of enough to be telling me anything about my own faith, you've demonstrated that so many times I've stopped counting.

Excuse me, I think you'll find you have done nothing but badger Russ, twist his words and mock his beliefs throughout this thread.

Do you know what the word 'analogy' means?

A-drawing a comparison in order to show a similarity in some respect;
