I do like a nice rack of lamb.

Merlot or something else?

Some A-1 Steak Sauce and a hot charcoal fire ... VOILA'

I love my baby back ribs. Must confess.

There does seem to be a lot of that conviction that we will all return to magical thinking, because the faithful cannot imagine life without magical thinking. I think a lot of it stems from what you mentioned last, the desire to see dead friends and family again. It's a powerful inducement to believe, but I can't buy it. Even general anesthesia can completely wipe out our consciousness, so I have little doubt it's no match for death.

@alliwant what annoys me--besides the assumption that they think that they will make an impression on me--is the ever present threat. The lady who said I wasn't getting younger made a threat even if she did not intend to do so: "IF you want to see your sister, YOU BETTER start believing." She was absolutely sincere.

I've been on here a long time, and have only encountered a few people who hate god.

You can't hate something that theist have failed to prove is real. Do you hate god?

@lerlo, I haven't found even one. I haven't asked and no one has told me.

I've seen several haters of religion but their hatred is directed at the people that create it not their imaginary deity.

@yvilletom well way back on some post I asked and some admitted it. And when I get a moment I'll go through my couple hundred posts and try and find it for you. But many people decided to be an atheist because God screwed them not because there isn't one

@Theresa_N not my experience. In fact way back I even asked how many people just hate God versus don't believe in it and I got more responses that I expected that said they hate God

@xenoview well the people here that hate God do it because God screwed them not because God doesn't exist. And no I don't hate a God that doesn't exist

@lerlo You answered “…because God screwed them not because there isn’t [a god]”

@lerlo Rather than await your evidence, I will conclude that you are projecting. I see projecting as a serious enough offense to warrant blocking you.
In a few days, bye for three months.

I remember that survey. How do you know that people weren't trolling you? "You just hate god" is a frequent enough claim by the still deluded that quite a few of us are annoyed by it. I don't hate god, I hate scammers. And, the biggest, longest running scam is selling a product which won't pay off until after you're dead.

@OldMetalHead Mississippi Boulevard if I asked the question and they admit they hate God why shouldn't I believe them?

@yvilletom I welcome your block thank you thank you thank you

@lerlo

1. Your motives for asking are suspect.
2. You used their replies to attack many, many, many people here
