The ONE THING?

[Cavebear]

Yes, derived from the holy scripture of Lenny Bruce ;-)

Nice to see you discussing things
With one of your own. 
Please continue and leave
The rest of us alone.

As you are theist and happy in your thoughts
And we atheists are pleased to logically be not.
Would you consider, to remember
Than most of us are happy to think nought
Of God.

LOL!

Never a problem for me to ignore poor theists (once they show themselves) or poor atheists.  MikeCL however isn't one of them.  He brings more the just his opinion.

A nice compliment to him...

He brought me here.  So thank him already ;-)

Really?  I'm not sure whether to thank him or kick his butt.  But you've been impressive lately.  So I'll thank him.  I suppose I wouldn't be a "saber tooth cat" (and good of the designers to get that right instead of "saber tooth tiger") now without you.  MOL!

You would have been more evolved if you had accepted my kudos (and that of others).  You are just hiding how shy you are.  Bashful even.

Well, evolution goes at its own pace.  Far be it for me to direct it.

I would like to know:
What was the ONE THING that made you decide that there is no God who created everything?
If it was a collection of issues that build up to your decision, don't give it all to me, tell me what was the last straw that broke the camels' back.

The one thing (if you can call it that)  is that nothing I've come across in my whole life so far has made me decide that there gods.   Let alone gods with the power to create everything.

If it can be said that "ONE THING" stopped me from believing in a God, I would have to say it was logic.

The theistic type of Christian God is logically inconsistent, and so it cannot exist. If it cannot logically exist then it does not, in fact, exist.

Vulcan's don't feel shame.  That load is on you.

Baruch, scribe of Jeremiah,
Please explain to me what is a "Free thinking Theist"?

I eagerly await Baruch's reply, but I have a thought about the term.  "One who struggles to believe in a deity, but that belief conflicts with one's internal logical thoughts".
