Why so friggin' confident?

Just wanted to point out that they'd only be virgins for the first 72 days, then they're just regular chics for eternity.Also, it's not gender specific, it could be 72 dudes playing Dungeons and Dragons and wearing Battle Star Galactica t-shirts. Hey you said you wanted virgins, right...?

Hi ICANT, Would you trust a 9 year to properly evaluate a situation, weigh both sides of an argument and render a decision based off of his/her 9 year old reasoning?I have a 9 year old daughter. I can assure you that her reasoning abilities and her ability to interpret and evaluate evidence, within the context of this topic, are in no way adequate enough. How could anyone base a lifetime of belief on something that was determined to be true when you were a 9 year old kid? Do you still believe in Santa? Easter bunny? Unicorns and faries? That He-Man is a real dude? That a cow actually jumped over the moon? I would think that you don't, and why would you, those were things that were believed as a child.You say you only had 1 book to read. Doesn't seem like you had any other option other than to believe what it says, especially when the book is said to be the word of God. How could a child at such a young influential age have the courage to question a book said to be the word of God, AND with the ever lingering fear of eternal hell?What you are describing is textbook indoctrination. You had a limited exposure to the facts about reality and accepted the first thing that you read. How do you not see the flaw in this?

Hi John, I don't think anyone has argued against the posibility of a Divine Creator, just that "why are you so friggin' confident" in one particular one?If God guilded every step of the way He did so without leaving any trace of His work; He made everything look naturally ordered. So either He concealed it for reasons beyond our understanding or humans created God because nature was beyound their understanding. In either case no 'absolute belief' can be held since no evidence is available to falsify either one. So the question remains, "why so friggin' confident about one particular God?"
