Atheism vs. Religion

[Mott the Hoople]

TGPTD, thank you for this cartoon strip. I was looking for a way to teach my toddler the lesson of the obstinacy of faith, and I couldn't have presented it in any better way.

You have been around since 06, similar to myself. Did you have another name?

It's Grind.

It's Grind.

Cheers mate. Seems like everyone has changed their names, apart from Damo, Dixie and Darla.

Thankyou Rana. Like King Arthur or Sir Francis Drake, I have never really been away. I just rest until atheist missionary work is needed.

And this forum is like crack cocaine to me, so I need to be careful not to get 'too' hooked again...

Hope you are well!

I am well, thank you so much and hoping the same for you.

Why, oh why would an atheist say that?

because they deny it's a puzzle.....they insist they already know nothing is in the picture....but you already knew that.....

They did not insist there was NOTHING in the picture. If you recall, he mentioned the pond, some trees and sky and ultimately Winnie and Tigger. It was the other, the "theist" if you will who even though the puzzle was missing only one piece, and the Duck on the box obviously was bigger than one piece, still insisted that there was going to be a duck in the picture. But of course, you get this and yet revel in pretending to be obtuse.

that was the inherent error of the post....the fact the atheist DIDN'T insist there was nothing in the picture......I pointed that out in my first post.....

Now, my problem with the analogy is that atheists cannot insist that we now know so much about the universe that there is really only one piece missing in our puzzle of existence and therefore questions about the existence or non-existence of god are unnecessary. There are billions of pieces of our puzzle missing. We don't even know what the picture on the puzzle is supposed to be, and we have no box to give us an idea.

I'm going to laugh at all the Atheists when the Elder Gods drive you to madness. Of course, as a loyal follower, I'll be far too mad to understand it, so in advance...


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

if that's the case, atheists shouldn't insist there are no gods.....they should simply be content as agnostics.....

And why I wonder? Is it to multiply their numbers or confuse me each time I return? Anyone see 'Babel?'

It was just a fun modification that I added, you can do it too. You can see a history of their usernames in their profile, usually this will tell you who somebody is if you are wondering.

so as I do, treat them all as new members....
