"stringsinger-was your last post in ref to mine?if so the connection seems a bit loose,at least i failed to comprehend it"

The latter is more likely, Pete.


"nevertheless,some random thoughts.
did i say dawkins "suppresses" religious thinking?"

Maybe not you if you say you didn't. But others here infer that.



"i understood that the vatican historically sponsered scientists?i also understand it accepts evolutionism-sadly IMO."

There is no evolutionism. Only evolution. If the vatican sponsors scientists then they wouldn't be as adamantly opposed to abortion. They may sponsor scientists that they feel agree with them.

That said, there are many Catholics today who do not agree with the Vatican such as on issues of abortion, priests being allowed to marry and the coverup of child abuse.


"are you saying i am arrogantly demonising atheists etc just because i disagree,and debate [as much as i am able]."

I'm not sure if you are or not. Are you?

"atheist delusion is at least as valid as God delusion."

No this is a false equivalency. It is not a delusion that any god can't be proved. This is fact. There is no balance in this argument. The delusion of god stems from a belief system that is untenable because it has no basis in scientific fact. Atheism is not a delusion because it does not profess belief but merely states that without proof, a god probably doesn't exist. This is not a belief system operating on faith but on fact.
