What if Satan reformed?

Remind me, how many angels are on that pinhead?

Quite. It's misguided and pointless. There are no 'real' angels. Obviously. Because without any evidence of 200 foot flying dragons, we can confidently say that they do not exist. Why wouldn't they? They are both equally mythical. The better question is why do some people believe in gods and angels (and dragons) for which there is no evidence?

Anyone who wishes to think rationally. It is not possible to have a rational faith without evidence. What you have is faith without evidence. Your beliefs are irrational, by definition. Believers are divided, atheists aren't. Believers believe in all sorts of weird gods and spirits and even when they believe in the same God, they can't agree on what that god wants. It doesn't get more irrational than that. What an odd question. The problem with irrational belief is that, amongst other things, it colours your view of everything else. It's apparently hard for a believer to imagine that it's possible to exist without belief. Most of them seem to think that if they stopped believing they'd lead a life of pure existential hedonism, rapin' and pillagin' and fornicatin' away.My 'confidence' is in people, family, friends, colleagues and mankind generally. Plus my own abilities as a decent human being trying to lead a decent and productive life. Pretty much the same as you I'd say - just without the need to embarrass myself worshipping a non-existent super-being and hoping for an afterlife.

Well at least that's a new excuse. Several billion people with selective amnesia - who would have thought it!The rest is the usual refuted stuff.

Yes, it is, but by definition ONLY in your book. ie worthless as evidence to anyone else. Just words, Phat, sentimental, comforting biblical-sounding words. Humans being nice to one another and being nasty to one another are just different faces of the same coin. It's silly (and plain wrong) to credit the niceness to god and the nastiness to human nature. Now you've really pissed me off. Of course people do not have to have a "relationship with god" - whatever the hell that might mean - for people to be nice to each other. I'm nice to people all the time and I'm the biggest non-believer you'll ever meet. What utter, offensive, non-Christian, bullshit.Explain yourself. Carefully.

You realise that you're just inventing all this stuff don't you?I still waiting for an explanation of why people need to have a relationship with God to be nice.

Well that's provably untrue. I am not internally or spiritually dead. What are you going to do with this new information, adjust your belief or carry on believing an untruth? Yes, and if I believed in a God, I'd be right-royally pissed off with him for that little piece of malevolence. where did that idea come from?? You're off in your own title world now. People generally both live for today and also plan for the future. I know I do, how about you? Well obviously it is. But you've already admitted elsewhere that you are a fantasist, why doesn't having that knowledge about yourself lead you to some other conclusions?
