Imon, umon...everymon!

For a large portion of my childhood I was actually under the delusion that rabbits laid eggs.

I was also under the delusion that god existed.

I believe that the internet exists and that all the people that I meet on it are real people and not simply computer programs.

I guess I'm delusional at believing what I percieve to be true. Oh well.

i'm not real

:downs:

Believing in god is okay, but trying to rationalize it is stupid. The perception of people being real is backed by a lot of evidence, the perception of god is not.

You can't tell someone they're delusional for believing something that cannot be disproven, even if it can't be proven.

I was giving an example. You can't tell someone they're delusional for believing something that cannot be disproven, even if it can't be proven.

If they were thinking of something easily disprovable, like Ice Cream not having any milk in it, then they would be delusional.

A delusion is a false belief. The belief in god isn't a false one because it has never proven to be false.

Glyde, don't bother. You can't explain faith to someone who has none.

I was going for a totally 'out there' example, to show that ANYTHING could be made into a 'delusion'.

A delusion is a false belief. The belief in god isn't a false one because it has never proven to be false.

Oh now this is brilliant logic.

I believe that I am in fact God. You cannot, in any way, prove otherwise. I could, of course, because I am God. But I will not because belief in me is a matter of faith. Do you have faith to believe I am God without me proving it to you? I'm guessing, nay, hoping not. After all, who in there right mind would believe that I am God?

Applying your logic here; am I delusional, or are you? Are we both? Neither of our viewpoints can be proven otherwise so, according to your logic, means we are both are right. Did I just divide by zero?

I could, by the way, because I'm God.

We should rename it 'A bunch of stupid bigots bashing on Christianity'. Those are the only religious discussions that happen here. "Christians are stupid hurr".

Could God microwave a burrito so hot that even He could not eat it?

This is an important question; I heated up a burrito the other day and burned my tongue on it.

n the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, a tradition of spanking or whipping is carried out on Easter Monday. In the morning, males throw water at females and spank them with a special handmade whip called pomlázka (in Czech) or korbáč (in Slovak). The pomlázka/korbáč consists of eight, twelve or even twenty-four withies (willow rods), is usually from half a metre to two metres long and decorated with coloured ribbons at the end. It must be mentioned that spanking normally is not painfull or intended to cause suffering. A legend says that females should be spanked in order to keep their health and beauty during whole next year. An additional purpose can be for males to exhibit their attraction to females; unvisited females can even feel offended. Traditionally, the spanked female gives a coloured egg and sometimes a small amount of money to the male as a sign of her thanks. In some regions the females can get revenge in the afternoon or the following day when they can pour a bucket of cold water on any male. The habit slightly varies across Slovakia and the Czech Republic. A similar tradition existed in Poland (where it is called Dyngus Day), but it is now little more than an all-day water fight.

I think it's because BOTH sides can't leave well enough alone, Mr. Blame The Atheists.

This angry sentence voids the rest of your post, Mr. Angry Athiest.

And the way he worded it just about proves my point.

I got this from the Easter wiki page:

Sounds great, go throw some water and whip a hottie and she'll give you an easter egg

:downs:

I was baptized, raised and confirmed as Catholic. I know exactly what faith is, I used to have a lot of it.

Also, before children are indoctrinated, they have no faith, it gets explained to them. So not only is your jab unfounded and irrelevant, it also invokes logical fallacy.

Oh now this is brilliant logic.
