Nice list. Just wondering why Origen is there, what do he do apart from cutting off his balls?
Edit--T.S. Eliot's best poetry was written before he adopted Christianity.
...and you have some objective means to prove this?

Are all my names there? I drew them from several sources... As the compiler of my list, I'm allowed to suck my thumb...
I did a Google on the first 5 artists' names you listed--perfect match, same non-alphabetical order. Same with the other categories.

PRatX gives the very same list as his like minded (using the term loosely) friend, Halitosis.
Well, great minds think alike!
Or in their case, "Fools seldom differ" is more applicable.
So come on boys, where did you cut 'n' paste this risible list from?
Should have known Halitosis would not have been able to produce such ...[text shortened]... a new thread to analyse this list and tear it apart.
Funny.......oh so funny!!!!! đđ”đ
Howhard, you made one of the dumbest, blithely ignorant statements proving to those who have a little more than "kazaam! I said it, it's gotta be that way!!!" that your head is so deep up your ass you see no more than your small mind and even smaller world.
I copied Hal's list because it contains most of the names I'd consider theists who have done the world a great good. If you don't know the names on the list, or haven't a better answer than a lot of hot air.
BTW - Just answer this thread right here, don't scurry off and try a new slate, hoping your crap will look more appetising.
Stupid.... oh so stupid!!!
Guys, where are your fabulous lists? Does it matter where they come from, as long as they make their point? Stop tossing a load of bullcrap to try and cloud the issue! Grow up and answer the list.

Is this some new "you-did-a-google-and-got-some-proof-and-it's-dumb-because-you-google'd-it"?

Why did you leave out some of the names on Hal's list?
I don't need to re-research something - it was answered by Hal and I reiterated it for the guy who obviously didn't see it the first time.

Originally posted by RatXNo, but Hal's claim to have sucked it out his thumb is not looking very good. It rather looks like he did cut and paste it from somewhere rather than making the list up himself. I wouldn't have bothered to bring it up had he not specifically denied doing it.

Where the hell is your list of great atheists (non-prayers) who did the world so much good? Or are you guys just gonna carry on with this idiotic smoke-and-mirrors show?
I thought atheists actually would think about things, reason and answer intellectually. All I've seen (especially from BDN) is a guy hopping about throwing dust in the air about "you got that from this site, it must be stupid/wrong/propaganda/linkedtomypsychoticmotherinlaw!!!
Give us your list or answer (more than "his poetry wasn't as good after he became a christian, duh" ) jackass!

Hey, you believe evolution - close enough to be just chance - No, couldn't be?! You're really trying to slice hairs here. What if his thumb has an extension to google - let's start a new thread that defines "sucking your thumb", while I think it'd turn on too many guys (like you, Darvlay, DC and howardgee).

Originally posted by RatXAs I've said before, I will compile a list of people I admire and that I think have had a positive influenc on the world. What I will not do is play stupid games with youover who's list is better than the other's. It seems you took no time at all in compiling your list, which is probably the reason the rest of us are having a hard time believing you have read any/all of the literature your niminees have produced, or followed the history of some of those persons like Joan D'arc, or have an understanding of the scientific processes, or even the careers of some of the scientists. As such, your list is nothing more than a group of people who happen to meet the criteria of being men of some religious sense. Both the level of their religion and the level of their beneficient impact are varied and questionable. Stop throwing veiled insults where you have no recourse.

I found a list of famous dead non-theists for you--you have to pick through it to sort out the goodies from the baddies: http://www.jmarkgilbert.com/atheists.html
This exercise in comparing lists is extremely childish. What quantifiable good did TS Eliot produce? How do you quantify good? Ridiculous.
I'd wager that Shakespeare didn't pray.
