You're very welcome. Pendrench Aug 2017 #15

Islam is also divided into sects, as is Buddhism. guillaumeb Aug 2017 #16

That there are no gods, and religion is simply an idea like any other? n/t trotsky Aug 2017 #17

One interpretation. But there are others that suggest themselves. guillaumeb Aug 2017 #18

Can you discuss the issue, or are you going to fling insults? trotsky Aug 2017 #19

I asked a question. guillaumeb Aug 2017 #20

First, convince me you're sincere. trotsky Aug 2017 #23

A false accusation. guillaumeb Aug 2017 #24

Then you shall receive the response you deserve. trotsky Aug 2017 #25

Let me review it and get back to you. AtheistCrusader Aug 2017 #47

Ok, I'll just wait here Lordquinton Aug 2017 #48

I wait for credible evidence of any of them. AtheistCrusader Aug 2017 #43

It apparently works for you. guillaumeb Aug 2017 #49

That religion is a human construct entirely, MineralMan Aug 2017 #36

The forms of religion are indeed constructed by humans. guillaumeb Aug 2017 #37

OK. I don't disagree. MineralMan Aug 2017 #38

We might, but we can do so in an agreable fashion. guillaumeb Aug 2017 #39

I try not to be disagreeable. MineralMan Aug 2017 #40

That's akin to saying that the books of Harry Potter are fiction, trotsky Aug 2017 #42

Have books of fiction ever been written about real characters? guillaumeb Aug 2017 #50

Oh, ok, sure. So where's your original historical documentation proving your god character is real? trotsky Aug 2017 #58

That it's all bullshit. AtheistCrusader Aug 2017 #60

Succinct, guillaumeb Aug 2017 #61

It is trivial for me to observe many (not all) of the religions in mass play today are AtheistCrusader Aug 2017 #62

If every separate religion is a reflection of an aspect of the Creator, guillaumeb Aug 2017 #63

Most (not all) make truth claims about the nature or powers or desires of their favored form of AtheistCrusader Aug 2017 #64
