What god looks like

[xoggoth]

He is simply pointing out that there is nothing in there to support what you say.

You said it.

If God made animals in his own image, chances are he looks like a beetle, as there are more species of beetles than all other insects combined.

I was just making an observation.

If you feel insulted it lies more in your defensive interpretation.

And you must admit that being a faithful believer in a religion cuts down on the unanswered questions and on the issues where you have to figure out your own moral standpoint since many answers are found in "the book".

Ctrf-F is easier than internal argumentation.

Right?

Firstly, I didn't say I was religious. I'm not. It's not about me.

Secondly, you did insult them, no wriggling out of it. Here it is again:

I am not surprised to see that a religious person has large areas of the brain showing no activity.

So I ask again, what do YOU get out of insulting religious people?

Is it an enjoyment of putting people down? Intolerance of those who are different to you? Or is it a wish to spoil the positive things a lot of people get from something that you don't?

Or an ant. There is a greater mass of ants on the planet than all other animals combined.

I suspect a lot of comments on here are originally tongue in cheak, get taken far too seriously and it escalates into a holy/unholy war. Pitfalls of a forum, must go against my religious convictions and use smileys although I hate the little barstewards.

The nuns did get us to spell correctly.

There's no reason why ethics and morals can't be studied scientifically, and indeed no doubt many branches of science do so. .

Christianity can also be studied scientifically. It's called "Theology". You can get a degree in it. It's rated somewhat more highly than, e.g. media studies. At least, among people who think a degree in Classics is better than one in, e.g. Physics.

would that be people who think that having a command of the history, art, language, philosophy and literature of two millennia-old civilisations is harder than re-doing your A Level maths in a different order?
