The moons, eclipses, and timing

And the days of the week and months of the year are named after old Norse, Germanic and Greco-Roman gods and goddesses. What is your point?Just because we use the terms BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini) as adopted from the Gregorian calendar does not prove the existence of Jesus Christ any more than our adoption of the days of the week and months of the year prove the existence of the Greco-Roman and Germanic/Norse pantheon of gods and goddesses.

"You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe." - Carl Sagan"It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World

I find this appalling. And let me guess you will be smirking and gloating while God casts the 'evil sinners' into a never-ending burning lake of fire. Then you can get your party on.Thinking that you will enjoy eternal bliss while your friends and family are spending ETERNITY in excruciating agony, torment and torture worse than the holocaust or anything we can exeperience in this life is the most dispicable, self-centered and evil thing I have ever heard. And then you have the gall to call anyone who disagrees with you self-centered, evil people.Edited by DevilsAdvocate, : No reason given.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous. - Carl Sagan, The Fine Art of Baloney Detection"You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe." - Carl Sagan"It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World

Yet you think it is ok for your god to do so. No, we just do not believe he exists. How can you be allergic to somthing that does not exist. I am 'allergic' or I should wary of those who believe that blatantly destroying the entire human race as well as commiting other attrocities including ethnicide and infanticide, is good.

And what have I done wrong that is anything worse than what you have done wrong? How do you know what things I have or have not changed in my life. You have no clue.But you sit in your self-content, self-righteous, self-conceited little world doling out hypocritical condemnations. What a petty little person you are. I pity you. And supposedly you will be gloating and smiling in the background as 99% of your friends, family and fellow humans are condemned TORTURED FOR ETERNITY. Yes, yes I know. I used to be a bible thumper and hell and brimfire religious person too.And you wonder why people are leaving your religion by the droves.As personal freedom, human equality and knowledge increase the power of religious intolerance and fear of the unknown decrease.You are a dying breed. You are on a sinking ship and do not even know it. What do you call the flood? He supposedly killed the entire human race save a few miserable souls. Or do you read your Bible. I could say something derogatory but I am not going to lower myself to your level. Your a sad, sad man.Good bye Calypsis. I hope you do find some peace in this life.Edited by DevilsAdvocate, : No reason given.
