Re: Uncovering the psychology of the post-modernist

So, you want to take away people's religious freedoms?

No one said this. Can you show us where they did?

Some say the same thing about evolution.

Creationists hate 'evolutionists', 'evolutionists' hate creationists. They're like cats and dogs; of course they squabble. What is the significance of this?

That's alright. I charge Christians with the bulk of the damage to Christ. But I'm not here to follow Christians, I'm here to follow Christ.

Up to whom is it for determining what is a Christian?

But I've never really understood why nuns rapping kids on the knuckles translates into: There is no God.

Where did anyone say this was their reason for rejecting God and/or becoming Atheists/Agnostic?

Well here you go. A nother pebble for the hill of evidence.

Evidence for what?

Re: People Don't Want To Know The Truth

I never know for certain, though if the instructions are based on my ideas of morality, ethics, and altruism...I can guess.

So you look at the message itself? If it's the message itself that you are judging, why does it even matter who it comes from?

Of course, I also ask myself...how do I know it isn't God.

Confirmation bias.

Atheism is certainly one possible outlook and philosophy, though it is no more rational than my talking with my conscience.

Of course it isn't; as far as atheists are concerned, if you are talking to someone that isn't there, you could only be talking to your conscience.
