    Blue birds pair with blue birds. Red birds pair with red birds.

    That's ... not even remotely true. Hybrid birds aren't uncommon.

    If it wasn't true there wouldn't be any blue birds. Or red birds.
    Atheism is the lie.

    Pardon the interruption, but what does 'Atheism' have to do with
    anything?

    Are you trolling?

    Atheism is a religion. A false one. If you don't like that why are you
    here. This is the religion sub.

    Troll/whacko status confirmed.

    When a religious fanatic claims "that's a false religion", you then know
    that they are either a troll or a whacko.

    Just to play along with you for a moment, what *ONE* religion is *NOT*
    the false one?

    Simple question, just answer it.

    Yeah, I figured that's what you would do. Dodge the question.

    So, I'll ask again, nicely:

    What religion is *NOT* a "false religion"? Would you be kind enough to
    answer that? Thanks.

    You stated that in response to someone, but you failed to provide any
    context so I was confused as to what exactly you were talking about.
    You really need to learn how to quote when replying. Otherwise people are
    confused by what looks like aimless rambling.

    Why would I not like this echo if it had any thing to do with atheism?
    From your responses it sounds like you are just trying to stir up
    trouble. Another term for that is trolling. If your not, then reply
    with some context.

    By the way, atheism is NOT a religion. Atheism is the lack of belief in
    God or gods, while religion generally involves belief in a supernatural
    or higher power, atheism is not a belief but a system in itself.

    Athiesm is the absence of belief, while religion is the presence of
    belief. Atheism and religion are the direct opposites.

    Have a great day JC.

    Actually, atheism is the belief there are no gods. I think agnogticism is closer to lack of belief.

    No, that's contention. An atheist is someone who sees no evidence for
    God and is therefore not theistic.

    Don't get me wrong, you can not believe anything you want. I don't have
    a problem with that. What I'm talking about is not personal philosophy,
    it's personal responsibility in a society that requires so much
    interaction. It's about how the respectful acceptance of others who
    believe differently can improve all of our lives.

    So please, don't believe what you don't want to. But accept that others
    might.

    Have a great day!

    I don't have to prove God exists. You can't prove He doesn't.

    I have the testimony of Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. Atheists have nothing
    but empty arguments.

    So Elijah answered and said to them, "If I am a man of God, let fire
    come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men." And the fire
    of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

    Nope, I can't. But you can't prove he does. Just trying to see if
    your "rules of proof" apply to everybody (including you), or only apply
    to those with differing opinions to yours.

    You've answered that.

    I have the testimony of Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. Atheists have nothing but empty arguments.

    Well, you have some "testimony" supposedly written down in a book of
    tales, but that's not exactly *proof* of anything. You just can't admit
    that, but it's true regardless. No proof exists.

    So Elijah answered and said to them, "If I am a man of God, let fire
    come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men." And the fire
    of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.

    What proof do you have that this happened?

    Rhetorical question, I know you won't answer it. Zealots never do.

    I'm not an atheist.

    The person making the claim has the burden of proof.

    If someone is going to come to me and say "God is real", then its incumbent upon them to explain why. I don't have to prove anything.

    I should just believe every book I read, without question. They all must be true. Every book about UFO encounters is true, they have eyewitness accounts.

    I try really hard to give respect to religious people, I really do, but statements like this, I just can't respect.
