Paul proclaimed that Jesus would return very soon, and even Jesus supposedly said he would return within the lifetimes of many of those present… so yeah, I guess god does have a sense of humor.. either that or he has a propensity to lie.

Voltaire famously proclaimed that the Bible would be gone in 100 years and now his home to the French Bible Society.

God has a sense of humor.

If atheists wanted to “snuff out” religion, then it’s called “snobbery.”

When xtians want to spread xtianity to replace all other religions it’s called evangelization and conversion.

In other words, as long as we xtians get our religious slogans plastered on public buildings and money, and our rituals and displays are allowed to be forced upon the public and the government, and as long as churches are subsidized by the government…

BTW – there’s no such thing as “atheistic religions.” You don’t get to label the rejection of (your) religion a religion in order to somehow level the playing field with atheists. Your religion and your belief in whatever imaginary god that you believe in gets the same label as all the other religions that came before and since xtianity that YOU reject.

As I previously wrote – you ARE on the same boat as Cameron, and with everybody who believed in ZEUS, CHALCHIHUITLCUE, AGLOOLIK, AWONAWILONA, GLUSKAP, KUNIUMI, ALLAH, GANESHA, etc., etc., etc. Yeah, you ARE on that boat. Athesits ARE NOT on that boat.

That works. My prime is about numbers… and Optimus.

Theists are so convoluted on this topic of theism vs deism. On the one hand they want to embrace the deists as at least giving some quarter to their delusions that there is a magical god being that created what we call the universe. Most deists simply use the term “god” in this context to describe something… a law, a process… whatever, that is not understood. I myself have often said if you want to call the fundamental laws that govern the physical operation of the universe “god”… I’m fine with that.
But deism does not allow for a god that demands worship, answers prayers, performs miracles, mass murders people, provides morality, and offers eternal life in a non physical utopia… IF you are good and believe in him. So at that point they reject them.
As usual, they are desperately seeking validation and will try to garnish it in any small measures they can muster. Even if it means also deluding themselves into thinking that deism is some form of theism, when in reality the two are completely different animals.
