Subject: RE: BS: Church joins real world
Another volley of maliciousness and stupidity from the Goofer.

Goofball, you deliberately distort what I write, put your own nasty interpretation on it, then try to use it to slam me. Actually, when you do that, it shows you up for the petty-minded little twerp you are.

The piece I posted above ("Credo") says what I intended to say. I don't know if there is a God or not. Neither do you. Neither does anyone, no matter how strong their faith, one way or the other. This means that I am an Agnostic, which, in the face of viable evidence either way, is the only reasonable philosophical position.

Others would argue that Atheism is the only reasonable position and I can understand that, but tend to agree to disagree.

Goofball, until you look at the matter intelligently instead of looking for material that you can twist like a pretzel then use to try to slam me, you're not worth the bandwidth you waste. If you want to have your remarks taken seriously by intelligent people, learn something about the matter under discussion. Read something by people who are knowledgeable in the field such as A History of God, by Karen Armstrong and Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism: A Bishop Rethinks this Meaning of Scripture by Bishop John Shelby Spong, and some of the many other works by these two very knowledgeable authors—both of whom know whereof they speak.

These are excellent sources of thought-provoking information for any and all who are genuinely interested in the subject.

But, Goofy, I don't think you have either the incentive or the intelligence to try to learn anything about what you insist on blathering on about. Or, for that matter, the genuine interest in the matter. You just want to attack me.

Revenge for blowing the whistle on you back in the Prop 8 thread.
