TC if any of what you just wrote was true or if you even believed any
bit of it? You wouldn't be such a fixture in everyone of my threads.
Further more if you don't see in the mirror exactly what you have
gone out of your way to say about me over and over and over from the
first day we locked horns? Then I have to suggest some therapy or
a nap or something.
(want me to drag it over here for you?)
Of course! Drag away amigo!

I dont trust scientists at all, just the scientific proof they produce
That's my arena. Except for the Supreme Scientist, Mechanic, Designer,
Programmer, Creator/Oracle. You know the one who could save us all
the botched experiments and back to the drawing board waste of time
crap.
The great designer who designed the Catholic Church? In a way so there would be no checks and balances against pedophile priests? (Who were ultimately stopped only by the efforts of secular courts forcing their crimes to come to light.)
What kind of genius designer can't figure out a way to prevent that?
I thought the catholic church designed the catholic church
You want to blame God for mans decisions
How do you come up with arguments like that, its absurd
Seriously, are you blaming God for your own actions, do you engage brain before tippy tapping on the keyboard

If I choose to rape you I can count on you blaming God right?
Get out of here with that hollow crap.
If an earthly authority allows its agents to rape children while they are on the job, the parents would have the right to sue that earthly authority.
Earthly authorities are usually led by people who are smart enough to be able to put safeguards in place. Unlike your god who is obviously too stupid to know how to do that. (And yet claims to be smarter than the smartest human.)
If god put you in a position of trust, told me to trust you, but took no measures whatsoever to ensure that you were trustworthy before, then at best god is an unwise steward.
Again what a silly argument, you are bizarre
Do you think people in ministry are chosen by God?
What does God tap them on the shoulder and say, hey you
God allows people free will, does God deny that and force them into ministry
The church has to answer to the earthly authority as well
Please use your brain
I just can not fathom how you think.

An atheist might suggest that the reason he didn't use his amazing intellect to help them is because he doesn't have one.
That's the evidence I look for. I don't look for miracles. If there is a greater intelligence out there somewhere, and yet everything he or his followers do smacks of mediocrity...... then it stands to reason that what I am really seeing is ordinary humans doing their best. Not a greater being at work at all. Just mere mortals.
You mean persistent distraction? Because it's constantly the same obsession
with you every day, day in and day out perched as the overseer of the
ATS atheistic view.
Are you like some kind of experimental program or something?
I mean while were at it? Maybe we can clear the air here, oh I forgot
you aren't even reasonable.
Are you tired yet?

thats usually exactly what happens. mere mortals make the most of the least with ingenuity and stubborn cussedness. necessity is the mother of invention and all that good stuff. ordinary people honing their skills and expertise to the finest edge they can manage in the hope that the world will be better tomorrow than it is today. that is the actual point of it all. not glory, not truth, not praise or worship or subservience...but taking the least and making the most of it for the good of all.

I don't think I could ask for a more perfect example of incoherence.
You guys are awesome.

I'm actually flattered, even tho you know and still planned on
taking me way out of the contextual sarcasm where the
statement did originate. You don't know where I live do you?
And you accused me of something you planned on doing for sometime.
What kind of a member does that sh1t?

I'm try'n to follow you on this but .. Are you judging Gods intellect by the mediocrity of
mans construction or technology? I'm not sure I follow you?
It would be no surprize to me if an atheist said God didn't have an intellect?
However I suspect a part of why Churches are flawed is because God gave unclear instructions on how to set them up. I would think if he were a genius that he'd be able to express himself more clearly.
