Atheism is a Religion

Before the Jefferson Christard fucks off again, did we ever get a straight answer to "is theism a religion"? ...... and did he impart wisdom on how he "senses a creator"? - or is he still hiding behind his dislike of naughty words and poo-poo jokes.

First of all, I was the one asking the questions. For your apparently missing memory, I listed behaviors of religion and challenged atheists to come up with their own list, which included traditional religions and excluded atheists. Result? No list, from anyone. Still, atheists here are aghast that I would declare myself as having prevailed in this challenge.

Secondly, I DID state how I sense a creator. It occurs in the process of absorbing and making sense of the things that are not susceptible to traditional evidence, i.e. beauty, love, courage, honor, etc.

Thirdly, I was unable to come to a conclusion about this theism religion question. I demand the right not to know that which I do not know.

Fourthly, I long ago decided I wanted to compete with accomplished people of quality and not with those obsessed with their own bowel movements

So, Francis tries to redefine words, nobody buys his bullshit, folks take the piss, therefore Francis wins. Brilliant!

Some things give Francis a warm, tingly-wingly tum - therefore god. Stunning!

Francis can't decide if theism is a religion - but he's sure atheism is. Astounding!

I reckon Francis has spent plenty of time observing his bowel movements - it's informed & inspired his writing no end.

No, the answer we got from Francis the anencephalic, is that it doesn't know whether it thinks theism is a religion or not. What a sad thing to not know what one thinks. I can't imagine how mentally challenged Francis must be to not be able to answer such a simple question.

A sad lot you fellows.

Aw, now the intellectually challenged Francis has gone and called people here a "sad lot." My oh my, how ever are we to live with ourselves when some demonstrated internet idiot thinks of us as a sad lot? Oh, right... I think the answer lies in the question.

Any observer can see that you are a confused fellow. No need to further illustrate that.

Francis' pitiful life is little more than a bowel movement.

Well rant on. Probably felt good. But scientists and engineers have known for many years that you don't find reality by feelings of superiority or chills up the spine. You find them by testing, and by accepting the results of the test, whether it agrees with your philosophy or not.

Francis has confused "aghast" when describing our reaction to its declaration of victory, with "pity and laughter."

One of the ways you can tell that I won this one, and that I am confident of that, is the fact that I don't need to post emoticons or pictures. Words are enough.

Your comment is an example of someone hoping that spin will overcome reality.

While I appreciate being quoted, I do not see how this quote supports the position you want to assert.

When I used this quote, it was relative to the atheists loud pronouncements that "He was defeated. He admitted he was beaten. He lost big". This was an attempt to redefine the actual circumstances. I gave a behavioral list that, to me, described religion. I asked atheists here to make their own list, if they could, which would include traditional religions and would leave atheists out.

When no list was forthcoming in what, 30 posts, I stated I prevailed. Profoundly uncomfortable that they could not refute this simple analysis, they and you began this pr effort to claim your own victory, when you hadn't even been in the game.
