Anyone meet someone interesting over Christmas?

Is this how rationalists take the intellectual high ground?

You're wrong on all counts.

• I was raised an atheist
• I have a scientific background and degree in physics
• I was never brainwashed by anyone, I chose to investigate of my own volition
• I then made a reasoned decision

So my faith comes after substantial research into both the scientific and religious claims. Zealotry and brainwashing doesn't enter into the equation.

HTH.

You're still thick as pig-tulip.

Nope, simply replying to you in your own "style". Strange how that you find it irritating...

As for the rest of your post, let's skip it this time around - you've been cut-n-pasting those same lines for years now (and without much success.)

Happy New Year, BTW.

Who was the mathematian who proved God exists? Mate of Einsteins...

Was on QI!

I don't find it irritating, just amusing.

All the best for 2012.

oh - PS: thanks for the rep Nomadd but you don't know what a Zealot is (you're more a zealot than I), and you can't spell.

Just responding "in kind".

Complaining about rep?
Like most God-botherers you're a complete hypocrite.
Read your holy book - "Do to others as you would like etc. etc".

[d000hg]

Read your holy book

I actually have. Unlike your good self. Still, talking about something you're 90% ignorant about is the habit of a lifetime for you

[*]I was raised an atheist
[*]I was never brainwashed by anyone

How is it possible to be "raised an atheist" without at least some degree of brainwashing/influence being exerted? You seem to be contradicting yourself d000hg.

That said, your obvious lack of brains tends to support at least part of your contention. Difficult to "wash" something that is invisible to the naked eye!

my faith comes after substantial research into both the scientific and religious claims.

If there were any palpable scientific data to support the existence of a God then there would be no requirement for any element of "Faith".
Haven't really thought this through have you d000hg?

I I said I looked into Christianity and science separately. I don't think using science as a tool in the search of God is a good road to go down for either atheist or believer, for the exact reason you mentioned - God refuses to give proof otherwise no faith would be needed.

I actually have.

Taken zilch on board though. Probably passed in through the eyes, hit the empty space in your skull and exited through your ears.
