Re: ID in Rhythm
I've watched some programmes that seem to show that there is a branch of atheism that is considered a strong ideology that determinedly rejects the existence of God, by trying to reason that he is not there, and posit that this conclusion can be reached objectively.
Dawkins seems almost religious in his atheism, for one. Trying to use science to support it.
These type of atheists, to me, have a dogmatic agenda and can therefore be regarded as fundamentalists.

Re: ID in Rhythm
He mis-uses his scientific knowledge, to pretend it somehow supports atheism when it doesn't.
I refer to him being religious, because his dogma is that God doesn't exist.
JUST NOTICED PERCY'S WARNING. RESPOND AT YOUR PERIL YOUNG CRASH.

Re: ID in Rhythm
Nobody bothers to reject santa because it is common knowledge that he is fantasy.
Again and again - please first prove God is fantasy.
It's easy to disprove santa - he doesn't bring me any presents, which is his sole reason for existence. He's never brought any good people presents.
God brings answers to my prayers, and I have had spiritual experiences.
What are the religious tenets of Atheism, mike?
I didn't claim atheism is a religion.
The arguments about the P.U, for example, are KNOWN fantasy, posited in place of God, who is not proved to be a fantasy, and is an entirely different concept.
How many times do I have to say "composition" before you will understand it's importance, if you want to conclude that two entities are equivalent?
You do know that two pennies are pretty much the same.
If we have a penny and a fifty pence, they are not the same or equivalent physically or in value, just because they share coinhood.
Show me the crowd that takes disproving santa seriously - as I only remember debating atheists.
You lump any claim as all equally worthless because they share magic/supernature. Like one could treat a penny and a fifty pence equally because they share coinhood.
But what's the point - you never listen to little worthless deluded believing-mike anyway do you, as you dislike him when he's a believer.
