No apology necessary ... except from me.

Classy ! Sounds like a close friend of mine ... ?!

You take no responsibility for misquoting him ... even though you did. By my standards, that would warrant an apology to him (not me). I live by a strict moral code which is based around Christianity, but applied more consistently than that managed by the usual follower like you.

No doubt about that. The only question is whether you believe you are being fed garbage or not. I know you are.

At least you managed to avoid any more embarrassing doping references. Good job. Best avoid complex subject areas which nobody really understands, apart from those on the front line.

Just an observation, but Armstrong won seven Tour de France's in a row. I guess the conspiracy theorists would have us believe that he had unique access to drugs unavailable to any other competitors ? I suppose that is possible ... although for 7 years in a row is kind of pushing the envelope a...

Actually, it was what you were referring to ... You just didn't know. Nothing to be embarrassed about.

That would be the British Olympic cycling program ... the same one which saw the UK walk away with all the medals while avoiding any doping issues. That was what you were referring to ?

Who brought Lance Armstrong into the equation? ... Oh yeah, silly me. For certain people, no discussion of cheating sportsmen would be complete without a reference to LA. Just saying ... yawn !

To believe in a God -> observer To believe in God -> believer An important distinction, I think. It's not a language game. Your quote badly misrepresented the "wise man"

I'm pretty tranquil about this. We've all been there ... either physically or mentally or both (differentiating is really splitting hairs ... morally it's all the same thing). Let those who are without sin cast the first stone ...

"To believe in God means to see that the facts of the world are not the end of the matter. To believe in God means to see that life has a meaning." - Ludwig Wittgenstein" I think that pretty much covers every criticism I could level at any and every religion. Question: Why does one need to be...

All I want for Christmas is ... * Retribution for the centuries of abuse that minorities have received * The suppression of all those people who preach violence against others * Some nice weather in the UK ... that's pretty much it. I'm easily pleased.

It's an interesting question, just fundamentally flawed, that was my point. You'll never get an honest answer because that would destroy the illusion of belief. So there !?

Another pointless academic exercise. I can tell you now that the results will be completely vacant and without any value. What sort of response would you expect from a believer, when asked why they believe ? Huh ?
