Jack you obviously are no scientist. There are studies being conducted today that would question your obstinacy on this subject. The study of quantum mechanics for one.<<<

No I am not a scientist. But I don't have to be to be familiar with the basic concepts of The Big Bang Theory. You have a problem, I know what quantum mechanics is all the major work in that field was done decades ago. Nobel prizes were awarded, people were there, did that and got their tee shirts. You can't confuse me by vaguely referring to a "study" you can't or won't describe. If you want to try this tactic on someone else say "String Theory" or "Quantum String Theory" at least that will send all but the most informed to Google or Wiki.

>>>Religion tends to be more monolithic than not. Adherence is one of the factors that define religious belief. Unquestioning is also part of the religious belief system. Obstinacy is also another since religious people tend not to consider alternative points of view or criticism
to be valid.<<<

There are doubters and heretics throughout the history of religion. The history of the Protestant Church is defined by Schism. The history of the Catholic Church defined by dealing with heresy. In India there are different gods and variations of religion in every village. Islam has Sunni, Shiite, and dozens of other sects. Religion my friend is the least monolithic thing is the history of man.

>>>Apparently by the nature of this thread, you have made up your mind that atheists are "jerks" and religious folk need to be defended. Also there is a hint that Christians are being somehow persecuted, today, which is truly laughable since they are in the majority in the U.S. but fortunately that is changing.<<<

I accused a total of three people on the whole Earth in all the history of Atheism of being jerks. You really need to read more carefully before you attack me.

"Atheists are atheists regardless of how much they are dissed by Christians. "

Do you realized that the initial question posed on this thread, the one above this post and all of yours was about what defines and atheist. Do you realize that it has been pointed out by two of the three "atheists" that I referred to as jerks (Dawkins is one of them) that they do not consider themselves to be atheists for technical reasons inherent in the definition of "atheist."

I am not dissing Atheists as a group. Never have, never will. Not real atheists especially, I respect their thought processes, I understand their beliefs because I once held them. Professional confrontational atheists, who won't even cop to being atheists are another matter.

Stringsinger, It is obvious to me that you do not trouble yourself to read all that I have said in a relatively short thread. You have admitted lying to me when you said that you read my posts and the article in another thread. Thank you for apologizing for that. I am tired of defending points that I have made nowhere but in your imagination. Please do not address any more negative comments to me unless you can thoroughly back them up.
