    Is there anything wrong with having a couple of beers once in a while? 😏

    Plus: try looking up "religion" in any dictionary then come back to us.
    I have already went through that debate and proved it is a religion. So no need to go over it again with someone with no more intelligence than a piss ant. 😏

    I think there is one very BIG difference between religion and atheism , as an atheist I can admit that I could be wrong, religion rarely does.

    Why should one admit the possiblity of being wrong when one has faith in being right? That just proves a lack of faith. 😏

    Another crux, faith. What a crock of shyte. You just believe anything some ahole said several thousand years ago without actually using your own brain, which I guess is just as well, since all your brain is good for is a hat rack.

    If anything points to religion being a crutch - a substitute for using the brain cells you were given to use for thinking - this is the classic. I must be right because I believe that I am.

    Well, you can choose to believe you are wrong if you want to. I, on the other hand, don't choose to do that. 😏

    Sounds like you are trying to compensate for your own lack of faith by declaring the grapes sour. Too bad. 😏

    I don't compensate for lack of faith, I revel in it.
