"So Steve Shaw thinks that users of this forum need evidence that their is such a thing as religion!"
If these discussions are not about the existence of religion , what are they about?
"Tosh!"
Unless that was your answer, of course, in which case, I would guess many people agree with you.
The world now needs evidence of the existence of religion now that so many atrocities are being committed in the name of one god or another - including the Christian one.
Why is it "tosh" to ask for evidence of a god, if he (or she) doesn't exist, what's all this killing about?
Nobody disputes the existence of religion - we've had it shoved down our throats for long enough?
