reality is what it is, and it's depicted rather well in the OP.

As ussual, anything that doesn't agree with your assertions is labeled "spin". Far easier to write it off than answer for your arguement's shortcomings. I suppose I could do the same as you, and boil your posting style down to a single word or phrase.

faith? delusion? denial? They all mean the same, but I'll go with delusion for convenience sake. (I need the practise spelling it.)

Well your portrayal of atheists as nothing more than militant noise makers, humblebum Mar 2012 #30

quite a list deacon_sephiroth Mar 2012 #32

Reality is what it is. But as usual, you attempt to put some spin on it. nt humblebum Mar 2012 #33
