Which is:

1) Irrational - Not invoking reason in your "belief"

2) Childish - Trusting like a child does because they have no developed sense of reasonable discrimination

3) Delusional - As believing something fervently with no support other than a book, as with scientologists or any modern-day cult.

Look ma - no ad homs. Simple definitional observations.

Now who's acting like a child? I've noticed that you're quite moody, SL. One day, you go from a perfectly reasoned, civilized argument, and the next you're tossing verbal shit like a mad chimp.

I think you find that they trust just fine.

I believe in God yet am the least trusting person I know, but life has taught me to be so, not religion or lack thereof.

Yes I am moody. Good observation JM.

So, can you explain why anything I just posted is not accurate?

Because your perception of the childishness/irrationality/delusion of the religious is subjective, and as you like to say subjective things should not be given the same weight as things which can be observed by everyone.

A complaint has been made against you re ad Hom, so I am hereby investigating this here post!

Ah, the big question?

can one reply to Ad Hom with Ad Hom?

Bearing in mind the subject religion was under discussion when sub made his Ad Hom but the subject here is NOT religion but Subs Ad Hom, I think I conclude therefore all be it an insulting reply that the post adresses the Ad Hom post thus this here is not Ad Hom.

Case closed

It's not my perception. I gave well thought out objective reasons as to why my description is accurate. You have yet to respond substantively.

Yeah, that's right. All you theo-wackos and closet theo-wackos stick together. I see how you are. There will be payback for this ToR. For you and your corrupt ad-hom enforcement thugs.

P.S. Tor, it's sup, not sub. Unless you are ad homming me in some subtle way???

And you have yet to respond substantively to other posts I have made. We have discussed at great length this very issue. You're just restating your position because you don't have anything else to say, and I am not going to end up restating my position since a great deal of space has been taken up whilst we argued those very points. If you want to goad me, do it directly.
 
Closet theists? Will you stop reading my mind? I have enough trouble making decisions myself without you countermanding them. Quit it. It's annoying. And arrogant. Stop it.

you saying I'm a bent cop? :bugeye:
 
Oh yea, and when have I made any statements that indicate that I believe in God? Oh yea, and defending people who do doesn't count, either.

I can't help it. It's a power I was born with. I'm still learning to control it.
