I'm getting tired ot debating this, though...

What would you say to a truce or something?
Seriously, though...I don't have infinite time
on my hands to post and repost.

I don't care.  I just didn't like your first reply.  As an atheist, I too
often feel that the general attitude of people is to allow people to talk
about god, but if someone says God doesn't exist, then he's accused of every
sin.  It's unfair.  We should be entitle to say in what we believe.

I have no problem whatsoever with *anyone* saying what they believe, except...

God is a --how did you put it? Oh right... admonished for bad language.

If we can have a confluence of ideas without one being asserted as 'Upper'
and others demeaned as 'lower' then there's not a problem.  Terry, your
posts have shown that your belief is superior than those that believe in
that *whatever* god (read diatripe below against God).

And there's the issue.

In my
case, as I said, God thankfully is a big hoax and I'm darn happy about it,
because if not, I'd have to fight him for his incompetence to help children,
adults and animals on Earth who suffer for nothing.  But that being said, I
respect people's beliefs, as long as they keep them for themselves, I won't
talk about my religious thoughts either.

Isn't a thruce for wars and conflicts?  Since you apologized, I don't see
the conflict continuing.  I apologize in return for being rude to you.

Terry

How about apologizing to deity believing folks for your more colourful
metaphors describing and demeaning their respective deities?
