What's ridiculous is your answer...as you know nothing about subliminal advertising ALTHOUGH YOU ARE EXPOSED SINCE EVER BY YOUR RELIGION.

So, dear, think again....Ups, I forgot believers aren't allowed such PRIVILEGE.

Actually believers are just that, believers of a prescribed order, there is no thinking allowed, that goes out of the box.

Mindless trolls.

I go to Mass every Sunday. I haven't heard any orders to display more crucifixes.

Well, there are many and I am one of them who thinks out of the box of organized book worshiping religion and you could be one also if you can escape the box of atheism by actually admitting publicly that atheism is a dead end belief for those who apparently for one reason or another have no desire to experience life after death.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but atheism is not a belief, it is a disbelief.

I will explain it to you in the easiest way...for you to understand:

Believers live their entire lives for that ONE and ONLY glorious moment known as DEATH...after which you all think you will find everything.

The Atheists, OTOH, each moment we live is a glorious one.

Do you actually think the CR will openly say: "Guys, don't forget to display religious paraphernalia as much as possible; we need to fight Atheism? " Don't be innocent.

There is nothing for me to explain,

I did not invent a mythical deiity.

Is atheism a belief?

YES! It is.

Do you practice at stupid.

You don't even know what my belief's are.

You lack the knowledge to participate in this thread.

Is that your atheist fall back/default position?

Good grief, what the hell does "subliminal advertising" have to do with your op?

And you saying "believers aren't allowed" to think is just DUMB.

...babble...
So, go ahead and explain the wisdom you see in rejecting belief in God smart guy.

Doesn't matter which one you're babbling about. All of them have the same amount of evidence. Nothing.

No overt or subtle command to display my crucixes in public has ever been told or suggested to me, and I have been a Catholic for 44 years now.

well i guess i could see this persons point but think about this.we are teaching athiest views to children in school not christian views.athiest have gotten so petty they dont want cartoons like charlie brown saying anything about the baby jesus so i guess the christians are feeling the same way.

Is that your atheist fall back/default position?

Is that your atheist fall back/default position?

Is that your atheist fall back/default position?

I debate with many believers...even with my cousin -a priest and the only believer in my family- but I don't waste my time with those who describe as "ridiculous" other people's opinions for the simple fact they are different from theirs.

Bullshit your nose. I could have kept him blocked...which I did for over two years...but I didn't and I only questioned his knowledge on the subject because his answers in other threads.

I hope other DHers post their input...and you can read the OP in any way that pleases you. Period.

A PhD in law may not asks it...but a person with one in education / sciences...or history may.

In my humble opinion you are the perfect example of what a victim of subliminal advertising is all about.

I am not Catholic and I certainly do not believe everything in the Bible is Gods inspired/inerrant truth/word and I am well aware that the Catholic church is loosing membership and well it should. Jesus didn't believe like those who rejected and killed Him and neither should His professed followers. True Christian followers are those who are striving to believe as Jesus believed and thus to become more like Him. And you cannot do this without disregarding all scripture that is incompatible with His teachings and He never taught that its Gods will that man kill one another for all sorts of absurd reasons like the OT Levitical Priests believed.

But the church doesn't teach this. They teach that everything they included in the book they compiled is all Gods inspired word no matter what it says and no matter what Jesus taught and modern society will not long continue to subordinate their mind to the teachings of a church that effectively renders the teachings of Jesus about God pretty much null and void.

Atheists play a fools game. They are their worse enemy. If God doesn't exist as they believe they stay in the grave. And if God does exist because they forsake belief in the spiritual reality of God they quite possibly still stay in the grave. In other words as I see it atheists have a death wish and I fail to see any wisdom in such a wish/belief. Perhaps you can explain it to me, duchessa?

you've said before that god's existence cannot be proved either way, kb. i don't like to be pigeon holed but most would call me an agnostic and it seems to me that you are as well. indeed, anybody who relies on faith doesn't really know does he? it can't be proved. you cannot know. you must have faith to believe there is a god. am i in error?
