IOW, a 'truth' you can make up as you go along and which has no
relationship to the real world.  It is a 'truth' because you say it
is.

How convenient for you.

Not at all. I can never describe what the truth is. No one can. I can 
only point you to the truth for you to find out yourself. The truth is 
always self-evident and self-sufficient. The description of the truth 
serves no purpose and is often misleading. People who find the truth 
will know and understand the truth all by themselves because the truth 
is universal to all people.

call themselves the Sages.

So you admit they can all be lying and just making stuff up yet you
have no idea if any of it is true or not.  Then why bother even
discussing it?

Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting and abhorrent.

Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying, especially 
those proposed by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Ass.

Any day now I expect some liberal to demand a government 
guaranteed above average income for every person.

Every illegal alien is a criminal.
No amnesty or work permit under any name or for any reason.
Deportation upon identification as the only option.

If you must text and drive please kill yourself quickly
before you run into me.

ninnyian could possibly be a 'religious leader' which means
ninnyian doesn't believe in God, his job is simply to convince others
God exist....while atilla
job is to convince others God does not exist and God lives deep in his
heart....he's seeking
confirmation of God.

I am not seeking confirmation of anything.  I am showing those who
claim some kind of god exists have nothing to support that claim.   So
far I have had complete success.

Atheism is based on beliefs, not science, ...how do you confirm your
belief God does not exist? 

I believe you believe God does not exist, nobody has a problem with your
beliefs..

lots of people have beliefs that are wrong...

atheist are one of those people.


When are you people going to come up with an atheist bible? By the time
an atheist writes one, they convert to another religion.

They become agnostic then hare krishnas.


Look at Richard Dawkins. He writse a book called The God Dellusion, and
he converts to agnotism. 

Soon he'll be singing

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna
Krishna, Krishna, Hare, Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama
Rama, Rama, Hare, Hare


Did he shaved off his hair yet?
