I particularly like the idea that any intelligent person could believe that it is more likely that Mary was impregnated by God rather than becoming pregnant as a result of shagging Joseph out of wedlock. That is especially hilarious. I also like the idea that they believe that Eve was "tempted by a talking snake" and that a real apple was involved when it seems rather more likely that the snake was a metaphor for Adam's cock and the forbidden fruit was in fact sex. As long as these deluded fruitcakes keep their religious guff out of public life and away from children who are too young to know better, I am more than happy to leave them alone.

Maybe they just both f**ked a snake?!? Well yes because the apple was sex. So yes they had sex with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Adam had the apple when Eve was there. So that would mean that Eve pleasured herself with something snakelike and then went and had sex with Adam. But since Eve was made from a bit of Adam then Adam essentially had sex with himself. Talk about inbreeding. No wonder there are so many idiots. My brain hurts now.

salmonbuddie Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 The word "atheism" shouldn't really exist. After all, there is no word for non-belief in fairies or unicorns or ...

rea Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 And your logical flaw here is equating the credibility of religion and science. You cannot put religion in the same league as science. I could if i wanted to but that is not my intention.My intention is to show that trying to use Science to rule out any possible truth of religion is a bit daft when science can only identify 4.9% of what the Universe even consists of....just like using a religious text to demonstrate a scientific point is a bit daft.Science and Religion are not aimed at doing the same thing...they are in different sphere with currently very little over lap.Both can and have and in many places still do exist side by side. See in Christianity case the number of believers in the Scientific community."New Atheism" has done very little for both sides and has in fact turned that sort of Athiesm into a religion or sorts...see definitions of Secular Humanism as a religion.Glad i bumped this...was all a bit quiet...brain needed some summer excercise.

rea Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Atheists have just went, in the main, one god further than a theist.Theists believe what they do, in the main, because their mummy and daddy told them so. You know, the same mummy and daddy that told them that Santa and the tooth fairy were real. If this is true of Theists why is it not also true of Athiests?Social and Family influence surely play as important an influence on both world views?
