Why Do You Believe What You Believe?

How do you know I am drunk?
You don't!!
My point is true and valid.
Your anger and arrogance are clear, pity.
Worship yourself some more, I don't mind.

'Design' is key.
Admit it.
Atheists are fools in my opinion, not allowing for anything.
You are one of them.
Enjoy your belief in your own majesty.

I've said more than once that I'm an agnostic deist. I do not admit that design is key because there is nothing that says the universe is not naturally occurring. With your insults, condescension, and general hostility, you aren't worth my time anymore. Good day sir.

Also, you know absolutely nothing about Atheism. Only an inebriate would think Atheism equates to worship of the self.

To say that the human mind and body 'could have' come from nothing, makes you an idiot.
Good luck with that, idiot.
Good day, idiot.

Atheism is stupid.
More absurd than religion.
I get it. Thanks.

JakeChess,

Do you think it's possible an intelligent design is responsible for your existence?

I think it is possible. Just like it's possible that nothing is truly real or that life slowly diversified and adapted until we got where we are today. Yes, it's possible, but it is not a belief that I personally subscribe to.

May I remind you that I've gone on record at least twice saying that I'm an Agnostic Deist?

Hasn't he told you point blank on at least one occasion that he's an agnostic deist?

Okay. Not an atheist. You believe in 'something'.
What is your roadblock?
Why have you not commited yourself?

I see no reason to. I don't need to bow before an imaginary friend to be happy or fulfilled. I do not need dogma or an afterlife to be a good person or a functioning human being.
