But on that thread, you made out, that you were an atheist, and then didn’t even bother to offer an explanation, to my final post on the thread, as to why you said I was brainwashed etc…
So believers in God, pretending to be atheists, and then telling other believers in God, that they’re brainwashed (post can be found here) is what you call being the good guy???

Also I am not familiar with every single poster I reply to. One glance at my profile and its clear that I am a theist.

I simply highlighted the kind of arguments non-theists bring up... the usual stuff involving sky fairies, brainwashing.... and how science seems to know it all.
Which you didn’t do…my question is, why didn’t you???
So why are you telling me to “keep on believing in the Sky Fairy” and that I’m brainwashed etc, when you yourself apparently believe in God…can you explain yourself?

You could have always PMd me about it... but since you didn't, I thought you dropped the case as well.

I wasn't "telling" you anything.

I was spoofing the kind of arguments we hear from non-theists... about sky fairies and what not... in order to dismiss theological concepts and questions.

Morals are what separate us from the apes. Because we have morals, we have the ability to understand that certain things are wrong. Without morals, murder would be considered okay, adultery and lies would be even more commonplace than they are now. Sorry but I disagree.

This is why I never understood the Atheist reasoning for removing the ten commandments from a courthouse in Texas a few years ago, and all the other cases involving removal of this from public property. I assume it has much to do with the first commandment which says, "I am the Lord your God, thou shalt have no other God's before me." What would this country be like without the basic morality of the rest of the commandments? Oh, wait...I know. I see..........
