'Shoddy thinking.'


Rumours of God's return are greatly exaggerated

"Religion is on the rise, religion makes you happy. It may seem bad manners for we atheists to say it, but so do pets"
I suspect that there are few people, outside of the evangelists who promote the prosperity gospel, who would say that one lives one's faith because it makes them happy. I think most people try to live their faith despite how they feel. I love the first comment:

"Ironically it is often said that attempting to discuss God with an atheist (i.e., the spiritually autistic) is akin to quoting Shakespeare to one's dog.

Woof."
