What!? In the cupboard where it is nothing more then a group of people trying their best to love and please one another. You're like a drug addict that needs his drip in the arm and cannot wander too far from the pack of sheep. Enjoy your wardrobe and boast how incredible it is but at the end of the day you're still in a wardrobe.

If you are sane, then the fact that you repeatedly bring up a strawman that you know is a strawman, must indicate your dishonesty. (if you were doing it due to insanity then I would accept that it might not be dishonesty).
Just in case you have forgotten since last time someone told you, the non-existence of God does not in any way suggest that out of nothing something came into being without cause. Also, the existence of God does not prove the reverse. Things are known to come out of nothing without any known cause all the time and I haven't heard theists suggesting that God is responsible, and certainly haven't heard any theist claim that God is the only possible explanation.

This is how He does it. First He saves us from eternal damnation. God does not overlook our sins. He judges them on the cross of Christ. From our side it seems like free forgiveness.

To echo Windmill -- what a load of crap.
People can be wedded to perfectly illogical views. or commit the most flagrant logical fallacies, without being insane. And a fanatical devotion to logical principles can often imply mental disease.
Seems my thread has ben hijacked by thoes who would rather argue with non-believers.

I am wroth with sadness.
Cheer up my friend.
Pr 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Ec 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

Have you looked in the mirror lately? I've been reading your posts since you got back. You're not as funny as some of the others. You need to work on that.

I am perfectly aware that people can hold illogical views. However, he was talking about an illogical view that he holds, he was building a strawman. Further more, since I am sure it has been explained to him before, he knows it is a strawman.
You may be right that I am being too logical in concluding that he is attempting intentional deception.
Maybe his devotion to his own beliefs are so fanatical that it is causing him to have serious delusions about what other people believe. Again, that is not impossible not that uncommon as evidenced by the number of people who deny the existence of atheists.
