Those childhood memories? They’re yours, only you had a different body then. And now here you are with your different body, your new body with the same memories, trying to limit the form of God.

The world and reality does not conform to your limitations, but you obviously do.

The courts usually give the child to the birth mother.

Do you think there's significance to majorities... such as the ones who have voted overwhelmingly (in the popular vote) for democratic candidates? Or is that different somehow because it doesn't serve your needs/beliefs?

The significance in this situation is the fact that the minority of folks in the world who are atheists consider themselves more evolved that the majority, who are religious folks.

Party worship? Do you also think that theists do such a thing?

Theists worship God. Atheists worship other things, such as The Party. Pro-abortion feminists, who are likely atheists or delusional theists if they approve of abortion, will throw any woman under the bus for The Party. (Lewinski, et al. She wasn't trashed for the sake of Clinton, or ignored by feminists for the sake of Clinton, but for The Party.)

Are you aware that there are a lot of people who don't worship anything? It is possible to have viewpoints without worshipping them. It is possible to have gratitude and appreciation for all things without turning anything into an idol to be worshipped.
Are you aware, Ms. Snark, that it's possible to have viewpoints and worship them? Of course you are. That's what atheists do.

Those folks who don't worship anything are accounted for in one of the links, and they’re included with atheists, which means that atheists are even more of a minority in the world, which I suppose makes them even more special to themselves.

Your claims are being distorted and skewed to serve your needs, whether by foolishness or dishonesty. And yes, of course, there is much more to be seen and recognized beyond that. It's only sensible that the truth is much more vast and diverse than any story.

No claims. I’m just drawing obvious, rational inferences from the numbers of atheists and religious folks in the world.
It’s a fact-based analysis, a different tack than you trying to persuade with your beliefs, projections, and theatrics.

Oh yes, regarding all your comments? Blah blah blah, and lol.

So, this is what god used to look like before the plastic surgery?

The greatest fictional story unwritten.

It takes two to make a baby.

Spoiler Alert: Women will stop murdering babies when Men stop murding babies. FACT!




Just grow up you dumb manchild, and face the truth, admit and accept you are one of lifes most dangerous predator to date.

Just answer the question: Why are you having sex with women knowing you could impregnate them?

Sorry, you're too unevolved to talk to ... not because you are religious, but because you say stupid things. You do not even see how theists do the same things that you accuse atheists of. People do all kinds of things, regardless of their beliefs or viewpoints... but you divide them into groups with distinct, fabricated traits... apparently in worship of your own self and position, despite the obvious dishonesty.

It's all too stupid and false to deal with.

So if some bird knocks on my door and says hey, atto, turns out this kid you have been paying child support for is actually not ours..

I'd probably say yippee - let me talk to my solicitor. Being the gentleman that I am, i'd let her make the next move/decision.

1. For a person you loved deeply, would you be willing to move to a distant country knowing there would be little chance of seeing your friends or family again?

I would - if the love was reciprical in same maesure. the question per the book assume its not - ans so if not no i would not do o. either the question was limited in not understanding the 2 way street - or intended.

i personally beleive in one way love - but not enough to move to another land. so in fact i can love someone that does not love me, as a feeling and honest - but not willing to move (I love 2-3 that do not same for me - i know this as so not willing to fall on my sward - i know they do not feel the same way about me - their lose, not mine (i lov then regardless - but wise enogh to know they do not topward me - and imospible to force - so wish wish them well and not move is my mantra) - i would move if the other actually loved me though.

i suspect the author of the book did not not thiink it trough as much as me, and so the question is limited. but maybe he did? i have not rad your book nor know of the auther so not into assuming things..................jsut assuming here.

love is not a 2 way street - but action in its name is.

2-cents.

Well we all know what sport you would choose.

Bacon flavored blood sport, just don’t eat my son whatever you choose.
