Forgiveness is reflected in most religions. MineralMan Jan 2018 #1

I am somewhat familiar with Islam. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #2

Well, that's a good idea. MineralMan Jan 2018 #3

It is valued, in theory. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #8

My dear Guy: That is true, regardless of the cultural MineralMan Jan 2018 #11

Well, at least you'll be done soon. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #5

Would you care to elaborate? guillaumeb Jan 2018 #7

Out of the whole, it's a short list. It's only proportionally 'many' when you ignore the whole. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #9

A short list compared to the entire population of the world? guillaumeb Jan 2018 #13

I was limiting my scope to the voting populace of the United States, but the list is proportionally AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #16

And the religiously unaffiliated are the single largest "religious" voting bloc in the USA. trotsky Jan 2018 #4

Which relates to this thread in what way exactly? eom guillaumeb Jan 2018 #10

Your irrelevant claim in the OP. AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #12

I am reasonably certain that this means something to you. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #14

You claimed AtheistCrusader Jan 2018 #18

All viewpoints are welcome in the Religion group. trotsky Jan 2018 #15

Are you dismissing the very many progressive theists? guillaumeb Jan 2018 #17

I am not. trotsky Jan 2018 #19

And by focusing exclusively on the negative aspects of religion, guillaumeb Jan 2018 #56

Clearly I'm not. trotsky Jan 2018 #92

Deflection? guillaumeb Jan 2018 #93

I answer your deflections and whataboutisms with the responses they deserve. trotsky Jan 2018 #94

You made a claim Lordquinton Jan 2018 #20

Looking down thread, guillaumeb Jan 2018 #57

Woah, what? Disrespect? Lordquinton Jan 2018 #65

Of course. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #76

No answer Lordquinton Jan 2018 #81

There are only two choices? nt. Mariana Jan 2018 #23

There are lots of different faiths. Mariana Jan 2018 #26

Faith has one single requirement. yallerdawg Jan 2018 #27

Which is...? Lordquinton Jan 2018 #28

Do you ever tire of asking the same ridiculous questions over and over? yallerdawg Jan 2018 #32

Do you ever tire of refusing to answer simple questions? Mariana Jan 2018 #34

It is very clear what I introduced into the thread. yallerdawg Jan 2018 #35

There's no need to be hostile. Mariana Jan 2018 #42

2 questions were asked. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #59

Because my questions weren't answered, Gil. Mariana Jan 2018 #66

Another answer to the question "why can't discussion happen" Lordquinton Jan 2018 #49

It must be irrelevant, your question. Or it's old and tired. Mariana Jan 2018 #52

You didn't answer the question I asked you. nt. Mariana Jan 2018 #29

Your question... yallerdawg Jan 2018 #31

I don't think it's irrelevant. Mariana Jan 2018 #33

If you don't understand faith - yallerdawg Jan 2018 #36

So you just want people to accept what you say but deny what others say? Cuthbert Allgood Jan 2018 #37

There is a person here who completely misunderstands this stuff Lordquinton Jan 2018 #53

Do you believe that a basic human right, guaranteed in our constitution... yallerdawg Jan 2018 #55

And if atheism is a position, guillaumeb Jan 2018 #60

Nope Lordquinton Jan 2018 #64

I see you've been taking notes from G-man Lordquinton Jan 2018 #63

How many questions do you get? yallerdawg Jan 2018 #96

Prove it Lordquinton Jan 2018 #97

I just answered another one of your endless questions! yallerdawg Jan 2018 #98

Life must be so hard for you Lordquinton Jan 2018 #99

Answer: Theists are NOT afraid of answers. yallerdawg Jan 2018 #100

They why can't they answer questions Lordquinton Jan 2018 #101

Exactly. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #75

Hey, another space for atheist bingo Lordquinton Jan 2018 #50

We can see here an almost reflexive need, or desire, guillaumeb Jan 2018 #58

Definitely a man who lives his faith. PragmaticDem Jan 2018 #22

And he was right. Igel Jan 2018 #25

So now we're just naming people who believe in God? Act_of_Reparation Jan 2018 #30

He is talking about a great man and his faith. PragmaticDem Jan 2018 #38

By someone who matters, hopefully. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2018 #46

Explain that one to President Obama. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #102

Not interested. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2018 #103

Not surprised. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #104

Or he might not. Act_of_Reparation Jan 2018 #105

No, I am giving examples of progressive theists. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #86

A good question. guillaumeb Jan 2018 #62

I wish edhopper Jan 2018 #54

Agreed. eom guillaumeb Jan 2018 #61
