Well done Ron Davies.

Prat. Your post above just demonstrates what people who don't do superstition have to put up with by word twisting logic choppers such as you and your first mate at sea.

First of all you indicate that if you feel you have evolved beyond mind controlling comfort blankets you have to be labelled atheist. Then you point out that it must be an assertion. Then you pick holes in your straw man. Then... then you have the nerve to say skeptic would be a better position.

Considering Steve Shaw, rational mudcatters and I have got fed up with pointing out the difference between not believing all that nonsense and claiming to be an atheist, you throw our collection of views back at us saying this would be better than the position you feel we all have.

Just because you may have a delusion, don't think normal people are as shallow.

Not believing in superstition is just that. It doesn't mean being an atheist. That is a sniggering term of contempt used by people who believe in God to describe normal people.

Even the diety you all put up as some imaginary leader, Dawkins, is on record as saying atheism by definition means you know there is no god. He just points out it is highly unlikely. ..
