Thats what I thought I thought it made for a good modernization to the loaves and fishes or mana from heaven, but the reference went way over the priest's head and he went straight to "Thats absurd!"
Thank you.

Don't you just love it when religious folks tell you something's absurd?

I know, its just so adorable. Whats even funnier is that it was a Catholic priest... Our bread and wine turn into the body and blood of a 2000 year old dead Jewish guy 👍: 0 ⏩: 1

That makes me smile. Catholics are the best, aren't they?

I'd like to believe in Gods and Aliens and all that jazz, but I believe in facts, so no matter what argument is thrown at me for either of the latter, I say "Where'e the proof?" Haha, shuts them right up most the time.
Also, thanks for making this - I like the font

I find aliens far more believable and likely than a god. Granted, that is just the existence of extraterrestrial life, not the litty guys buzzing earth in flying saucers and picking up people to shove rods up them bums. The UFO nuts are just plain nutty and I think Freud has some wonderful commentary about the whole fascination with anal probing...

I'm the one who requested the stamp and the one who came up with this quote.

I apologize, I thought you meant when I said 'Where's the proof?' - Sorry. But yes, I do like the stamps quote and I defiantly agree with it

Thank you. It's the best argument against any theist.

Hmm yes, I do share the feeling that it'd be nice to be able to believe in gods, but after years of trying to force myself to do it, I just was not able to. Aliens seem far more probable, though while my husband is of one opinion that they are here, that they are visiting, and that there is a conspiracy theory to hide that they've been here among governments - I'm of the opinion that it's pretty unlikely, at least to me, that they've visited the earth. I don't necessarily believe it when people say they have been 'abducted,' and I can't be certain that UFOS are real or not, but eh who knows - in that regard, maybe anything's possible.
And yay! I'm glad - the font's name is Timeportal - I thought it fitting for this one since it seems like people want us to go back to a time when people thought the world was flat, that sickness was caused not by germs but by sins and demons, and when witches were worth burning.

"You're just a crass materialist. God isn't physical, he's in the spiritual."
^
Had that argument actually thrown at me just two days ago. Which amounts to: "I have absolutely no evidence for these massive claims I make, and I'm proud of it."

Very rewarding discussion, but when it came to the complete lack of evidence it was sort of like slamming your forehead into a brick wall.
Said person also believed secular humanism to be a religion, and disbelieved "insterspecies" evolution, too.

I spent a lot of time explaining, until he conceded that it was not a religion... only that it's bound to become one.

That'd be hilarious though. All praise to the mighty Dawkins...

Yes, all praise the venerable Dawkins, prophet of atheism; he who suffered through hours and hours of biology lectures so that we do not have to

Some people actually think that's how we see him, though. The media seems to think Dawkins is some... radical religious leader, or something. [link]
It's painfully obvious that these people have neither read his books nor watched an interview with him.

Haha, wow that's so... not him, though! I was watching another doco of his tonight, the one where he takes on alternative medicine like homeopathy. He really is very polite, but I don't see how that's a bad thing. It's good when he lays the smackdown, but it's not like, BOOYAH. YEAH. It's more like, oh, caught that guy there!

Greatkingrat88 In reply to Nekromanda [2012-06-26 12:39:27 +0000 UTC]
It's his politeness and soft-spoken manners that appeals to me. He's to the point, polite, and doesn't let any of these crooks get away with what they do.
