You're not a Christian, that's all.
Oh.
Hey, Not a Christian That's all, why is an eternally existing universe that has not dissipated by now Oh So Much More rationale than one created by a supernatural Creator who transcends the laws of nature?
Why is it so much more rationale to believe your uncreated and eternal material universe ?

That could just be a self love which nothing else in existence effects. So everything is all the same to you.

You still get an F in explaining your atheism is more rationale than belief in God and God become a man in Jesus Christ.
Let me warn you. I will not chat like this all day.
Get your "run away from my argument" hat on because boredom is beginning to set in.
Or I am going to another thread which I find a profitable and constructive discussion.
Argument by boredom - wins every time !

Did you explain what STANDARD you measure what is good and evil by in a universe where there is no Moral Governor ?
If it is a synch for you you won't mind explaining it here again now. I can't see where you dealt with it.

I am an atheist with regard to all religions, sonship, not just yours.
That religion is OK with you.
Have to take it on faith .... Right ?
Originally posted by @sonshipThen stop, sonship. Just stop yourself. If you're bored, then you're bored. Stop posting stuff on my account. I am finding the effect your beliefs have on your intellectual and interpersonal behaviour - and your demeanour - quite interesting.

Originally posted by @sonshipI don't have a religion. I am not religious. I don't believe in supernatural causality ~ or at least I won't until I see a credible revelation by a god or gods. I am not superstitious. But I am open-minded. The stuff you say about your religion is nor more credible than the other religions I have encountered.
