Do you think the 'Cheers, Sparky' is on a rubber stamp too.

Must go to the same stationer as Neil.
Cheers Jack

Neil's cool. Some of the best posts you'll get. Full of Scots' good sense. And he varies his sign off.
Cheers, Sojournerlumus.

Religion is ignorance giftwrapped in lyricism.

No, because a 'bible believer' clearly doesn't think that his own beliefs are 'unbelievable'. (I thought your question was a joke because this seems pretty obvious to me).

To him they may be believable, but from a non believers pov (like say, people on this site, all religions contain nonsense. But despite that, a rational being should still be able to see the point I'm making even if you are biased. Like an alcocholic running down the absurd life of a crack addict, it lacks credibility. But you don't think so, of course.

Hypocrisy involves inconsistency between a persons beliefs and their actions. It's ridiculous to assume a non-believers point of view and then claim that it results in hypocrisy for the believer.

It's frankly bizaare if you think you are making any kind of rational point.

Either you can't understand the question, or you can but have decided to bluster instead. The barrier.

So spell it out, Jack. There is no hypocrisy for a Christian to hold certain beliefs and question the evidence for the beliefs of a muslim. As a non-believer, you may think both sets of beliefs are 'unbelievable' (why else would you be a non-believer!) but that doesn't make the Christian a hypocrite.

The fact that you are either unable to express yourself well or have no idea how to make a rational argument says nothing about whether I am putting up a 'barrier' or not.

...especially at a site that shares a platform with communists.

Was there any need for that comment, Sparky? Is that an example of the "love all people" that you say is at the core of your belief?

It sounds more like an attempt at guilt by association, which ironically, is a very communist thing to be doing.

Not at all. Just at the foolishness of throwing around claims about irrationality.

The presence or absence of communists has no bearing on whether or not you are rational. Just sayin'.

Who said it did?

You're wasting your time again , Jack. You only have one life, ffs. Don't squander it on some blinkered gramaphone-record-with-scratch on his hamster wheel in the sky.

This is me?? How delightful.

Sparky, what are you doing on this site anwyay? What brought you here?

I used to post on FFI. Some time ago, FFI stopped being available where I was living so I migrated here. Then for awhile this place was also unavailable but then it appeared again. I'm here because I enjoy the discussions! Why are you here?

Cheers,

Just come back here to fix this post, but I swear, this box is haunted, so I'll make it quick.

Oh, I see. I am here because I was invited early on and somehow got trapped.

Well, since you threw out the remark about communists when your rationality was questioned I assumed you must have thought it relevant. If you agree that it isn't why did you bother commenting on it?

Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West.
