"God is the only one we can turn to at this point," said Twyman,
59. "Our leaders don't seem to be able to do anything about
it. The prices keep soaring and soaring."

"I've seen him work miracles in my life," Twyman said. "He told
us that all we need to do is ask and believe. He can do it, and
he will do it, but we have to ask him to do it."

You sure that's not an article from /The Onion/?

This from the article:

"God is the only one we can turn to at this point," said Twyman,
59. "Our leaders don't seem to be able to do anything about
it. The prices keep soaring and soaring."

...and yet, God doesn't seem to be able to do anything about it,
either. The prices keep soaring and soaring.

And this:

"I've seen him work miracles in my life," Twyman said. "He told
us that all we need to do is ask and believe. He can do it, and
he will do it, but we have to ask him to do it."

So, God knows it's the right thing to do, but he refuses to do it
unless enough people kiss his ass first.

And people actually believe this shit?

God doesn't act the way you think He should, therefore, your
conclusion is that there is no God. Does that about sum up your
deep thought process?

Erm...no. Not by a long shot.

The pantheons upon pantheons of gods ever proposed don't exist for
all sorts of obvious reasons that rarely ever need explaining. I'm
sure you'd agree with me that Brahma, Jupiter, Wodin, and all the
rest are quite silly and you'd have to be most insane to believe
in them. What you refuse to admit, mainly because of the mental
anguish it'd cause you to admit how much of an idiot you've been
all these years, is that your own gods are no different.

All I was doing in the post you replied to was pointing out a
typical absurdity of this particular type of god. If Mr. Twyman
were instead blathering about how all we needed to do to solve the
current economic crisis was ask the Leprechauns to give us some of
the gold they've got stashed in their pots at the ends of the
rainbows, wouldn't you have joined in the chorus of calling him a
dumbass?

Only a fool would taunt a Banshee, Leprechaun or Silkee . I
showed your e-mail to a tinker woman. She said... well, just be
very careful.

It's been my experience that very few people are afraid of death
- until they face it.

Same applies to people who claim there is no God.

Which god would that be<BITCHSLAP

I've faced death a number of times. I'm certainly not fond of the
idea, but I wouldn't say I'm afraid of it. I intend to do
everything I reasonably can to enjoy as much of life for as long
as I can, but I can't see much point in fearing death. After all,
I was dead for a dozen billion years or so before now; I imagine
I'll get used to it again after at least the first million years,
if not sooner.

Dying I'd really, really rather avoid, at least in almost all the
forms it usually takes.

Same applies to people who claim there is no God.

Which god would that be, and what makes it so unique to single it
out for special attention?

Cheers,

I've had this discussion with enough atheists to know it's pointless.

There is much fun to be had in getting an alt.atheism atheist to define a
level of evidence for a Metaphysical X that does not entail a logical
error on the part of the atheist. alt.atheism arheists are collectively
witless to the idea that it is illogical to demand physically substantive
evidence of something that has no physical substance, and they will avoid
that truth at all costs.

The point being, atheism is prima facie illogical, whereas theism is
provably logical, therefore the burden is on the atheist to articulate a
logical, consistent, coherent framework for their personal atheism, and
they all have different ideas of what atheism is.

The funny part is, there is no logical, consistent, coherent framework for
any kind of atheism. The boot is on the other foot. You just have to know
where to aim it.
