So did Jesus live or what?

...After all, upon our deaths, we all would (in theory) be staunch believers, and would eternally expect his return...

That is clearly another interpretation that is in error.

Evidence?....

You need evidence?

Are we all "staunch believers"?

If so, you (for one) sure don't show it.

Fundamental extremists?

Well, there are clearly some fundamental extremists within Islam who are causing some serious trouble, and they are being appropriately dealt with. Is that who you are referring to?

As well as those fundamental extremists in the U.S. who seem to think that the earth has to end in a big holy war, and that the good and faithful Christians will come out on top. Worse, those fundamental extremists who are in power and using an ill-defined 'war' to rob Americans of their rights and freedoms... for example. Or those fundamental extremists who declare that this world is not their home, and therefore we can f__k the environment any way we see fit.

Pretty much ANY fundamental extremist.

I'll leave your political drivel as well as your delusional opinion on "the-end-of-the-world" insecurities stand, but I must ask this:

Are scientific fundamental extremists included in "ANY fundamental extremist".

...No one likes to realize how ignorant or unreasonable they actually are; and the comforts of faith only last so long as we remain ignorant...

You couldn't be more wrong.

Evidence?

Here it is:

I love to realize how ignorant and unreasonable I actually am. Like I wrote (and that you apparently couldn't understand), that understanding is part of my beliefs.

Further, I am fully aware of the shadows of doubt you and people like you cast upon faith, God, religion, and Christianity. I have not ignored them. After reading them, and considering them, I have rejected them.

Are we dead yet? Or are you just unable to read? I guess that's another point of ignorance you revel in, isn't it?

Quick - reach for your dictionary, grab a definition of 'dead' that means alive, and whip it out...

Yes, they are. I certainly don't want the world reduced to such a purely logical scientific viewpoint that we become cogs in the machine, either. After all, eugenics would be a perfectly logical scientific point of view, wouldn't it? So, yes, ANY fundamental extremist.

All things in moderation... including moderation.

Yeah, we can tell. And since you have now admitted to being an ignorant and unreasonable creduloid, I'll be sure to include your admission in my sig, so that any time some passers-by happens upon me here, they'll realize that anything you say must be taken with a grain of salt - or, perhaps, a pillar of salt - because you have no credibility whatsoever. You are a willfully ignorant troll, who has chosen to reject logic, reason, and evidence in favor of your preferred beliefs, and have now admitted this is so.

Welcome to my sig, and welcome to ignore. Buh-bye.

Are you stating that, upon death, all (including such as yourself) will conveniently become believers?

Are you claiming that somebody believes that?

Just what are you dancing away from?

 

[CapelDodger]

Nope.

Because even though they claim to not believe in a god, they clearly speak and write as though they hate my God.

Can your scientific mind understand that?

A lot of the religious clearly speak, write and even act as if they hate your concept of god. That makes "god-hater" an imprecise and misleading misleading synonym for atheist, which is how you use it. My scientific (some say pedantic) mind is naturally uncomfortable with such imprecision.

It is a historical fact that (Scientology) was founded in 1951 by L. Ron Hubbard

{nitpick}That's Dianetics (which is not a religion). I believe Scientology came a few years later.{/nitpick}
