Why disrespect someone so viciously for their beliefs? Do you think this post makes you look better or worse in the eyes of your fellow man? Oh, I think you know. There is nothing good that can come out of being this angry and hateful toward a total stranger on the Internet just because you don't see the world like they do. Your post looks no different than the rantings of so many anti-white racists or tranny activists, angry at the world because it doesn't conform to your expectations. All the negative posts in the world aren't gonna help you in any way and certainly aren't going to change how many people believe in God or don't. An intelligent, well-balanced person would know this.

Ruth Gordon, Dennis Merwood is a troll. He trolls these threads and zeroes in on anyone who mentions prayer, faith, religion or god. The best thing to do with Dennis Merwood is just laugh at his comments. All in all he can be quite entertaining but to try and debate with him is a fruitless endeavor. You will note that he rarely posts a comment that doesn't involve berating or denigrating someone's religious beliefs.

@canker that trollyness is rampant on this forum.

Dennis Merwood detests me. I made the mistake once of mentioning my Christian faith and he glommed onto me like stink on poop. He still comes around and makes his lame arguments about how all religious people are nut jobs, deceived and stupid. I actually enjoy his comments. Arguing with him is better than going to the movies. Sometimes he has interesting thoughts but he always regresses back to name calling, insults and insinuations of stupidity. It's quite entertaining to engage him.

You are a lair, Cankerpuss.

I challenge you find one of my posts that "regresses back to name calling, insults and insinuations of stupidity.

But plenty of your posts do that to me.

Sometimes it's just easier to be nasty than nice.

Asking folks to provide evidence for their claims is not disrespectful.

I am not angry, or being hateful

All I am doing is asking for evidence.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Perhaps you can help me, Ruth?

Maybe you can prove to us that "God" ever said anything?

Or show us how "God" healed the land. What that even means?

An intelligent, well-balanced person like you should be able to do this.

Otherwise, all you are doing is showing you are willing to swallow any old codswallop.

"Got a link to that? LOL"

"Betcha can't"

"Too busy I suppose"

"Yeah, makes sense"

Totally respectful.

All religion is bullshit.

There have been some 3,000+ Gods.

You Ruth do not believe in 2,999+ of them.

You too my dear are an atheist wrt to all other Gods except Yahweh.

I just go one further.

Thin skinned much my dear?

But you chose to attack, not them. They simply stated a belief and, unprovoked you went on a tirade you probably copy and paste a hundred times a day. You're pitiful.

He's a troll. Gets his jollies off of mocking people's beliefs.

At least he hasn't threatened to send his over-achieving daughters to beat you up yet.

haha yeah I figured so. Bullies always pull the same tactic. As soon as you corner them they try to claim they are just doing what you are doing even though they always start the trouble. Same tired old leftist tactics. Of all the windmills in the world to joust against, the belief of people who are the most peaceful and forgiving is so misplaced it smacks of mental illness. And I already know what the response to this will be so it's my last comment. I dare say this is the kind of person who wouldn't dare say these things to another man's face.

You called it, Ruth Gordon. He's so predictable.

Good job Ruth.

Attacking my character, but failing to address the subject of my comment.

A typical tired old religious nut job tactic.

You know my points are the truth and you have no counter arguments. The truth hurts you.

Thats why you deflect with all your kindergarten phycology trying to make out that I am the problem.

There truly is no hate quite like Christians Love! Religious folk prove every day that arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand.

How can a thing be discussed when you can't define it?

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

No. Actually, "extraordinary" claims must clear the same evidentiary hurdles as "ordinary" claims. No more, no less. Can it be proven? Yes or no?

("Oh no Honey, this is Small Claims Court. You hafta take that on up ta Extraordinary Claims Court. Down da hall 'n' upstairs.")

Just because Carl Sagan said it doesn't make it right. Nor does quoting smart people make the quoter look smart (except maybe to the quoter).
