Damn, it looks like all the trolls (bladers, poodle) are coming back. Is starface next?

I know right? It means an eternity without Bladers.

I never thought of it that way. I'm in!

As far as I know, Dawkins was never "100 sure" that God did not exist. He always claimed that there could exist a God, but only in the sense that any mythological entity could. In his own belief scale, he categorized himself at 6.9 out of 7, while most believers hover around 2 and skeptics between 5 and 6. Of course, this scale is subjectively measured (=nobody means what 6.9 really means, is it measured decimally or logarithmically?), but it seems roughly the same as calling an earthquake "not the biggest ever measured", because it "only" registered 9.3 on the Richter scale.

(EDIT: Forgot to add a number).

i respect you deuce, you seem like a cool dude with an actual life(probably why a lot of ish trolls hate u) and an interesting career. overall you're an intellegent person so i typically respct your opinions.

so, having waxed your penis to a fine shine with the comment above^^, from the little i know, i ask, have there been any observations of macro-evolution? i know there have been plenty of micro-evoution but that hardly validates evolution. the changing in size of a birds peak is not a grand scale change.

again, not trying to insult you, i ask that question with respect b/c i know you're smart individual who has a greater background in biology and other sciences than i currently do.

Science doesn't rule out the existence of God, and has never attempted to.

[Bladers]

Atheism doesn’t have a leader. It isn’t an organisation.

Atheist leader is now wavering in his stance against God. Its an amazing thing how when people begin to reach their end (age 70), when the end of their tunnel is getting close, they begin to doubt.

If you read his book 'The God Delusion' you would see why he says this. He's a scientist so he deals with evidence based arguments. As a scientist he will never just discard the notion of "god" but he doesn't believ in any of the religions make believe gods we know today.

This guy is still at it?

That's the American Atheists, a legal society, not atheism itself. Atheism is a disbelief.

Again, I really can't tell if you're being serious or not. Maybe I'm wasting my time...

Think about it this way; Monotheism isn't an organisation, though the Catholic church is. Same principle.

[Bladers]

No. You can be an atheist but think that there's a possibility of something out there. That's just logical, there's no proof either way.

That's like saying you don't believe in mythical creatures, but it would be cool if the Loch Ness Monster exists.

would be cool... lol wtf?

tell me an atheist who says "it would be cool if there was a God." If God exists they would be going to hell.

Since you believe people are born gays and lesbian then so are pedos and rapist and serial killlers, etc.

So why punish them for something they were born with? Why is the latter a crime and not the former?

There's a big difference between being gay and a rapist or serial killer. I hope you see that there is
