Knocking the faith out of other people

And if I don't, that's "evidence" of something?

You questioned whether the whereabouts of all religious leaders were known.

Did your Google search disappoint you?

<<So does the pope>>

You sure about this?

And to what degree he does it genuinely and sincerely and not by rote?

Yes. And I don't think you asking me that question demonstrates anything. The idea that the whereabouts of the burial places of "all religious leaders" from 2,000 years ago is somehow known is ludicrous. You declaring that the whereabouts of "all" of them is not "evidence" of anything.

Where are the whereabouts of Jesus Christ’s remains?

No one knows. The fact that no one knows is not "evidence" of anything.

Where are the whereabouts of Chris Witterbottom's remains from Bradford?

As there is no sign of them, shall we assume he was resurrected? Are his missing remains evidence of this?

I think you’re a sick guy and I don’t buy for a second that you’re a Christian. Not the way you behave - provoking and attacking people and then playing the victim and running to the site admins.

Pretty sad.

You clearly have problems building relationships, especially with people who you have any sort of conflict with.

I think my assessment of you above (page 3) is pretty much spot on, and for that I confess to feeling a modicum of sympathy. It can’t have been easy growing up disliked with few or no friends, and those you had took advantage you and got you involved with stuff you would be better out of.

Perhaps the community here should take you under its wing and offer you friendship and love… but unfortunately you are just too dislikable.

Sure it is.

Did many people - within days of Chris Witterbottom being entombed - want to find his body?

No longer responding to (or even reading) troll posts.

And I can tell after reading a few words if it’s a troll post.

Have a great Friday. Show someone some love ❤️

I think I have you pegged.

My advice to you would be to not bring your issues into the forum.

Why don’t you work on your chess?

This is a chess website after all.

Yes. There was quite the kerfuffle.

Is that your spiritual duty?

No. I've read enough and for me there is enough physical evidence to convince me that we are just the latest in a long line of hominids to have lived on our earth, and that there is nothing particularly special about us, apart from our large, creative and enquiring brains, and our capacity for imagination. We are not even unique in this respect; Neanderthals used to ritually bury their dead.
There's nothing 'wrong' with faith in supernatural entities or belief in an afterlife, whatever gets you through the night, and these things in so different manifestations are common throughout human society all over the world. Where I take issue is when a certain faith or creed declares itself to be the 'one true faith', or declares their god to be the 'one true god'. These things are intellectual trifle, and deserve to be smothered in the custard of distain and dismissal.

But life goes on and we held our BBQ block party as previously scheduled.

Poor Chris, so insufficiently marbled for a man of his age.
