If not you, then who?

Originally posted by uzlessWell look, I think asking for ground breaking thought on a messageboard is a tough ask. If you want to share what you have come up with that you haven't seen before, I'll do the same, otherwise I'll just assume that this was a tactical device on your part, ok?
Clever, but it's my question...I can't provide the answer too!

No I said the tooth fairy doesn't exist, to ask why she doesn't is irrelevant, God is not a myth, He's real if you don't believe in Him or not
God is a myth. Nothing more. Just as the tooth fairy. Nothing more.
Allah is a myth. Nothing more. Of the same reason.
Heile Selassi however is not a myth, he was a real person. As was Jesus. Of the same reason.

The problem with both suggestions is that they both presuppose the said thing that we are supposed to ask actually exists -an assumption that cannot be given any credence in the form of evidence (mere stories or scriptures doesn’t count as real evidence) or logical reasoning.

Originally posted by daniel58whoa, you just dropped off the deep end there danielson....you don't need to believe in god in order to be a moral person. Morals aren't defined by what the bible or any other religious book says.

You can live a completely moral life and not be a religious person. Get that into your head and you'll be much better off.
