For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Yes, I know. It's been done before - and so has Moani (which actually I thought was much more clever). Anyway, that aside since this is where we discuss our views on religion I don't actually know what I've done to upset you, but if you want to upset me, as it seems you do, then you really must try harder Mike. ;o)
The trouble with you and your boring posts is that you do not discuss, you merely repeat the same old boring mantras, as if you were Richard Dawkin's gofer. I never try to upset anyone, merely stating my views. This is the last repy you will ever receive from me to your turgid outpourings - hopefully others may follow suit.
( fao Naomi, Good to see you back in the sty Naomi, if only to watch you once again, casting your pearls before the swine. ;o) http://www.myconfined...ious-people-house.jpg )
Hi mibs, grunt, grunt. I can't get into your link. It's forbidden!! :o)
Are you and I the only people who can see what Pugwash is saying here? He has to be joking doesn't he? Please tell me you're joking Pugwash. So someone's mum (no idea whose) was a JW and because of that God saved all the miners? (Presumably most of those miners were Roman Catholics, a religion which, if this story is to be believed, clearly doesn't impress God at all because without that one JW mum they would all have been dead). And the religious apologists expect the rest of us to take that seriously? Good grief!! Difficult isn't it?!! Haaaa! :o/

I have come late to this but I will say this if you have no intellectual input and cannot put forth any sort of coherent argument why do you bother. Naomi makes some salient points, those points are to be argued and debated. Shouting at the moon says more about you than anything else. Atheists scare you because you don’t appear to have the intellectual tools to argue your point.
One point about God saving the miners? Who prayed for the mine to collapse and why did a kind and loving god allow them to be trapped in terror for 67 days.

It's rather silly to complain that the discussion is continuing Zabadak - we are talking about the subject of the question after all - and it seems, so are you. Anyway, that said, in giving credit to an invisible man in the sky these people are insulting themselves by undermining their own capabilities, their own tremendous determination, and their own intellect.
Are you certain that's what *they* think? As I suggested before, for some people, believing that what they do is a partnership with God is enhancing, not demeaning. It's absolutely clear that the Chilean president thought that way, and nobody seemed to think it detracted in any way from n appreciation of their phenomenal skills and commitment.
