1. A Modest Proposal for a Truce on Religion

Billy,

I hadn't come across the Attenborough quote. Thanks for pointing it out - it's wonderful. I agree with you that the Bible pretty much rules out the existence of the God that most Christians I know say they believe in but I think that David Matthews deserves an honourable mention for doing such a spectacular grave digging job for his faith.

David,

Is RD paying you for this? I have no interest in engaging in discussion with someone who merely restates his position ad nauseam. Some evidence (look it up, David, it's a useful concept) that atheists are more intelligent than believers is summarised beginning on p.100 of TGD. It goes without saying that this fact says nothing in itself about the truth of atheists' position but it does mean believers have a tough fight on their hands.

Regards,

Tom

Hi maryhelena,

If you're still following this thread, I hope you managed to login to the forum eventually. The discussion there is quite interesting, I think!
