Here’s a challenge–my husband got the tip of his wedding ring finger cut off in a car door accident 3 weeks ago. Perhaps he could be a test subject? I won’t tell him, so there will be some sort of control in the form of elimination of the placebo effect.
If all the theists could coordinate their prayers and petition gawd to restore his finger, I would be happy to report the progression of regrowth. Perhaps I could even photograph the results as well.
How ’bout it JCC, Phree, snd YCF. Are you and your gawd up to the challenge? Just let me know when the prayers begin, or maybe I’ll just know by the brand new finger that will appear soon (with skin as soft as a baby’s bottom).
We’re waiting………
phreedm,
A suspect you and I will again have to agree to disagree.
I, have, as have most atheists, indeed looked at the “theory” of supernatural agents and found no way to distinguish fact from fiction.
That you believe you are in possession of some indemonstrable insight unavailable to others, while satisfying for you, is clear inadequate for others.
I suspect there are other plausible explanations for your comfort level, and as such I cannot in good conscious take from it any succor.
I am certainly open to new evidence, although I “evidence of the supernatural” is actually an oxymoron and as such doubt that it will ever be available even if the supernatural were real.
As for closed minds, well historically speaking, the theist already believes he has the answers to everything and he will fight tooth and nail against any evidence that challenges those answers. Tis, for me is one of the saddest things about theism.
phreedm, you just proved my point.
you grouped us all together based on one comment, told us what we believe, while admitting that you yourself are arrogant.
phreedm
the creation point you drive at points to deism not theism.as for the words of jesus we only have what others claimed he said.how can you justify a literal reading of the bible a collection of books assembled by order of the emperor who was not exactly a choirboy.
Comment from: David Silverman
10 years of activism. Zero results is more like it.
Dave talks alot, mostly about himself, but what has he accomplished? Has he ever removed a menorah or baby jesus from a municipal building, interrupted gov’t prayer, challenged a township Xmas parade or easter egg hunt, etc.???
On the previous topics, Dave often tells people to give up and to not bother challenging religious intrusion and theocracy, such as In God SOME trust!
Both Dave and AA are based in NJ and there is nothing being done to combat religious actions in NJ by either.
Defending Judaism and Israel on behalf of American Atheists certainly hasn’t been constructive either.
Phreedm, comments like this make you a dipshit because it exemplifies your total lack of understanding that in an atheist’s opinion (and you are on an atheist blog), it does not matter what a theist believes. Failure to be able to replace the lost limbs of the faithful make it very clear that there are limitations to what your god can do.
