Sorry but we are going round in circles here. I stand by my initial statements and don't think any of your criticisms diminish them.Originally Posted by Piamed
I still think the possibility of a Christian God is so incredibly remote and the possibility that no such entity exists is almost certain - a ancient irrelevant fairy tale no more relevant than the Lock Ness Monster or Astrology. A useful mechanism for mass brain-washing that has perpetuated itself until recent enlightenment. I know what odds to bet on and I will stick with those, thanks.
I didn't bring up Dawkins as a champion, someone else did. I just pointed out one thing he said that I agreed with. That is why I didn't comment on other things he said. I note many of my comments were 'conveniently ignored' also.
I would love to navel gaze on this some more. But I am convinced I am right and you are wrong and that you are kidding yourself and clutching at straws - but that's your choice, so what's the point? I have a full time job, deadlines and an FLR application to get in asap, so those all take priority.
Feel free to continue trying to convert others to this outdated cause. Might want to work on the patronising tone though. I look forward to the day when religion is consigned to the scrapheap where it belongs and people don't need it as an emotional crutch.
PS I have seen the above quote from a couple of different sources:
Einstein himself stated quite clearly that he did not believe in a personal God:
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly."
