Whaddya reckon about God's existence?

Strong theist. I know there is a God.

De facto theist. I'm not 100% certain but fairly sure there is a God, so I live on the assumption that there is one.

Leaning towards theism. I think the chance of God's existence is a bit better than 50%.

Pretty much, Jim. I can't see how Seth can come up with such a number unless he includes all the deaths in both world wars as "Atheists trying to do away with religion"! Like I said, conspiracy nuttiness rearing its oogerley head. :tea:

Motivation is unimportant. Only actions are important. An immoral act cannot be made moral by a moral motivation. Fact: Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were all Atheists. Fact: Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot are collectively responsible for the deaths of approximately 100 million people. Conclusion: Atheism is a bad thing, much worse in fact than any religion on earth. QED

One might say, in comparing deaths "motivated" by religion and deaths "motivated" by atheism, that it is the lack of moral foundation in Atheists (ie: irreligion) that motivates them to view other human beings as disposable objects and impediments to their schemes of power rather than as individuals with inherent, unalienable natural rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

One might say that at least religious persecution and murder are motivated by a belief (however malign) that "God" ordered them to do it, and the penalty for failing to do as God commands is eternal torment, whereas Atheists have absolutely no excuse or rational, are their own gods and pursue their selfish god-like pursuits without scruple or compunction because nothing in their moral or ethical makeup constrains their self-centeredness and selfishness that causes them to view others as lesser beings subject to the whims and caprices of those who pursue power.

That's incredibly retarded logic. Even for you.

What lack of "moral foundation"??

Fact: Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot all ate carrots.

Maybe it wasn't so much of a troll fail after all.

I just C/P'd Seth, and worked in an old Rush Limbaugh trope. It actually took fewer brain cells to accomplish than the original, and less typing.

Atheists are not rational. It is to be expected that they will make mass murdering political leaders. They've taken the losing side on a irrational argument. They will over-react when given power especially regards their foes. Only agnosticism is a rational position.

Presumably, studied fence sitting is also the only rational answer to the question of squared circles. The burden of proof can't be met by either side, so...
