Hmm, don't you preach we are all born atheist? rug Sep 2015 #50

We are. Then people begin programming us with doctrine AtheistCrusader Sep 2015 #52

In that case, compared to the then extant DSM. rug Sep 2015 #53

Impossible. It was removed from the DSM 5 years before I was born. AtheistCrusader Sep 2015 #57

And you ignored the question Lordquinton Sep 2015 #63

And you will never get over yourself. rug Sep 2015 #64

Holy non sequitors batman! Lordquinton Sep 2015 #65

Do you often opine, thinking of what others will think of you? rug Sep 2015 #68
