Jehovah, all the other Gods and the Covid-19 Virus - Page 6 - Religion, God, and Theology

As an atheist, I have no "inner struggle" and don't have to wrestle with artificially constructed philosophical conundrums ("why did a benevolent god allow the plague" etc).

I have real things to worry about....

It is fascinating to me that some atheists seem fixated on talking about something that doesn't exist.

It's fascinating to me that you posted a quote of a homophobic godbotherer twice, like you really wanted me to read it. Why do you like homophobes so much? And why is your heart so full of hatred? Do you think jebus approves of your hatred? (and the hatred of the homophobe you love so much)

So, I will not respond in this thread to your false accusations.

If you want to continue this nonsense, start a new thread.

Thanks, Skippy.

It seems to me, since you're the one derailing the thread, that YOU are the desperate attention-seeker.

It seems to me that one of us posted some irrelevant quote from some irrelevant homophobe. One of us posted this quote twice in the desperate hope for a reaction. Which one of us was that?

You got what you wanted. And you should really be ashamed of yourself.

I posted it twice because it was a relevant response to the posts in question.

The next time (if there is one) you engage in psychoanalysis in lieu of an argument, I will post it again.

If you wish to continue this sideshow, please start a new thread. Thanks.

Edit: I won't respond to you any more in this thread unless you post something relevant to the topic.

LOL, which one is it?

But anyway, thanks for not responding anymore. Your posts are completely worthless anyway. You should be ashamed of yourself. Jebus will give you what you deserve eventually.

Atheists are only interested in this topic because our society is inundated with this foolishness and it affects our lives. If religious people quietly attended church and didn't try to influence children through school or get tax breaks or affect government policies, I would be as disinterested in this topic as I am with any other hobby (stamp-collecting, surfing, bird-watching).

Obviously there is a difference.

I like to think I am somewhat more evolved than a frog! ;-)
Your argument is infantile. You contend that unless I'm upset with YOUR fables that I'm stupid & unaware of some "deep truth". It's true that I am reading this thread but ONLY because of the affect religious views has on all of us (even the non-religious).

But perhaps you are right.
Posting here is a waste of time.

Politics and tribal power games are where stuck people get funneled into, both theists and atheists alike. At the same time, I will acknowledge that culture is a competitive domain. It’s tricky. Don’t let me contribute to running you off, not my intention.

Some people seem to enjoy this philosophical banter but I have recently found it upsetting and (I honestly don't mean to sound bitter), I need to focus on other things in life.

Enjoy your discussion.
Lunkwill out.
