I agree. Church weddings, funerals and baptisms....pointless ritual and eulogy.....So why?
You attended. Ask yourself.

I'm not interested in your obsessive derangement with Trump.

Nice one.
Thanks. I sprinkle my barbs with truth.

It's so easy to wind you up....Just mention the Orange Guy.
Yeah, that explains it, not derangement.

That's why I love Boris the Buffoon too.
You and enough other people for them to keep winning elections.

Why the need for religious ritual and eulogy?...You went off at a tangent again and avoided the question again.
Re-read my answer to you. Perhaps I was so direct, you confused it for avoidance.

So why is there a need for religious ritual and eulogy?
Why is there a need for any ritual? Have you ever attended a graduation? A baptism? A wedding? A naturalization? A funeral?

Why should I have to sit here and answer a silly question who's answer you know? When you yourself take part in rituals but pretend obtuseness only when the ritual happens to be religious?

Now, if you weren't quite so irritable you would be on "board" and make a pertinent case for these practices.
Why should I have to "make a case" to you? Who are you? Why should I care what you think of the rituals of my faith? And why should I have to do so to a person who clearly understands rituals when it fits his atheist worldview?

Rather than just giving a somewhat abstract and mildly abusive response.
My response was in the same tone of your comment. But I know. Atheists think only they should be dismissive and condescending. They get miffed when the same treatment is given to them.

"I know Americans etc".....Do you think that the Orange Guy is one of these?
Look. I don't care what you think of Trump, and I'm not interested in your obsessive derangement with him. What I know about Trump is that he has multi language foreigners in his family, and has strengthened religious rights.

What I know about you is that it mildly irritated you that the religious people on the religion board you voluntarily visited, were..... religious.

I have more evidence that the Z-guy is one of those ugly Americans.

Why are black people allowed to say the n word?
Who is it that "allows" them?

Answer this question for me.

It's 1690, a black slave and his slave wife who has just given birth, are about to bed down on the haystack in the horses shed.

The wife tells her husband, "Go sleep on the floor. I'm afraid you'll smother the baby if you sleep on the hay with it."
The bemused slave shakes his head and goes to sleep on the floor beside the horses muttering, "I swear, this woman treats me like a slave!"

A trio of white farmhands happen to hear him say this, and find it hilarious, getting the humor of a slave grumbling about being treated like a slave.

Now switch the scenario. Say it's the white master's wife telling him that he cannot sleep with her and the newborn child in the king size master bed, but must be satisfied with sleeping in one of the guest rooms.

And a trio of house slaves overhear the bemused Master say, "I swear, this woman treats me like a slave!"

Do you think its as funny as when the slave said it? Do you think it means the same thing? Do you think the trio of slaves will find the master's comment as funny as the trio of farmhands found the slave's comment? Why not?

Anyone can say anything they want, but because of history and reality, it's sometimes stupid and insensitive for some people to say some things.

No one has gotten my approach yet.

Consider this. 
The first time a person smokes, it is an unpleasant experience. The body rejects smoke into the lungs, and one coughs and hacks. Yet, millions did it again and again, enduring the unpleasantness till their bodies were acclimated and addicted to the nicotine.

Why did they do that? It wasn't (at first) for any "high". What powered them was their desire to be cool, to fit in, to please others.
 
These are people with a fundamental flaw. With a broken esteem system. They feel incomplete. They think they lack something. They are searching for something that makes them feel alive, or something that drowns out the life.

The problem in America is not drugs, but so many people who think they want/need them.

It's even more curious that the populations with the highest standard of living, and the most creature comforts, claim to be the most in pain. Even sub Saharan Africa has fewer suicides than the so called rich countries. Why is that?

Its hard to see the craziness of a culture from the inside, so most replies to this post will only defend the "need" for drugs, never questioning why so many 13 year olds are sniffing glue.

I watched a Palestinian ceremony once where parents of those "martyred" were "appreciated". The occasion was replete with big pictures of each "hero" hung from the rafters, 6 year old boys marching with wooden rifles preparing to themselves be martyred, and adoring fans giving flowers to the proud mothers of the glorified.

Do you think if I told anyone at that gathering that the whole thing was stupidity, they would see it that way? If I said they were glorifying terror and indoctrinating kids into a cult of death, would they understand my meaning? No.

It's the same thing here. Emersed in the culture, most people are unable to raise their heads above the trees. Tell the typical American youth about the insaness of the drug culture and he won't have a clue what you're talking about.

Drugs should not be a problem at all. No one should be taking drugs for fun. That people still are, has nothing to do with drugs. It's culture, and until we address the dumb things in our culture, drugs, (or something else) will plague us.

I believe that power leads to corruption.
So there are no honest powerful people?

...then why wouldn't you?
Your moral code?

So both of your options are incorrect. 
How can they both be incorrect? You said that power leads to corruption, therefore,  All Billionaires become corrupt. Which means then that you think people should be stopped before they become billionaires.

And it would inherently benefit them to do so. 
All your charges appear to be what is possible and what could be done, never what actually is done. You convict people on what you think they are capable of doing, instead of what they do.

The richer the general population is, the more money the businesses of billionaires make. Billionaires only become possible and sustainable in prosperous societies.

lol this is just patently not true.
How is it not true? The average American today has a smart phone with a computer in it more advanced that the computer that took man to the moon. People are richer today.

And billionaires do only become possible and sustainable in prosperous societies, this is why Africa has so few. Billionaires make money off of an educated, prosperous population.

Saying that billionaires subvert their democracies doesn't make economic sense.

why?
Because their democracies are what enables them to become, and remain billionaires.

They can, and do, make huge sums of money off of corruption.
That they can is all you can be sure of. You seem again to be convicting people  simply based on the possibility existing.

They use their money and influence to get laws that benefit them.
That is democracy. No law benefits only one person. Everyone is trying to make the playing field easier for them in a democracy. If they get laws changed the legal way, there is nothing wrong with that. We can always sack crooked politicians.

Like all democrats, you think the population is a bunch of morons just waiting to be swindled, so you must protect them.

If you think every rich person is necessarily corrupt, you ether don't know many, or you have bought into the mindset that being rich is evil. You are actually advocating penalizing people for being creative and industrious!

I want to invade Latin America as well, since they are corrupt and poor from that corruption.  Latin America is largely white, so it's not even a racist move.

I didn't say Africa is an uncivilized place.  They are corrupt though.  An American invasion would hopefully remove a lot of the corruption in Africa.
Ok, They are civilized but corrupt, and that warrants invasion, killing those who resist, and occupation of their land.

Theism and more so it's associated ritualism is the more non-sensical aspect of religious behaviour that I question the need for.
That which Mopac is fond of and that which you have started to display in your recent eulogising.
Wow. Imagine you, an atheist, come to a religion board and find people there that display behavior you find no need for! I bet you were surprised.

And it mildly irritated you that the religious people on the religion board you voluntarily visited, were..... religious. How rude of them, and how reasonable of you to be put off by what you personally find ....not needed.

I know Americans who get angry in foreign countries because they find "no  need" for the non-sensical weird languages people speak over there.

Could there be such a thing as an ugly atheist?

You tell me. You said that belief in  hypothetical deities was a fact of life.

I couldn't figure if you meant that people other than you believe in deities you think are hypothetical, or that people believe in deities they think are hypothetical.

I don't think I've ever met anyone who believed in a deity they believed was  hypothetical Have you?

Maybe you think all deities are  hypothetical. If that is the case I have only 2 observations. First, if you think all deities are hypothetical, then saying  "hypothetical deities" is like saying female women. You were being redundant.

Second, I'm pretty sure you don't know all deities are hypothetical, but you're a militant atheist, so for you, what you wish to be true, becomes truth for you.

Just my 2 cents. Carry on.

Don't ask Deb how he picked a debate site. He won't answer. The "mystery" is only with religions that have singing groups. (Search me for how singing figures into it. It seems to make sense to him inside his head)

Now if Dart should get a singing group, say, The Darting Stones, or the Dartles, old Deb might just go insane.

This is the same guy who thinks America should invade and colonize Africa to "civilize" them, and that Africans would like it after they saw how wonderful they had become due to invasion and subjugation.

I thought he was playing devils advocate, but he seems to have been serious. Just like here. I can't tell if he's being deliberately provocative, or if he's just an unconscious racist.

Here is what HB doesn't know about history and human nature.

I bet you, no current billionaire shot for a billion dollars. He shot high and got a billion. Now, if government takes a billion off the table, fewer people will aim high. Fewer people will keep working after 900 million. The economy will contract.

What do democrats do when the economy contracts? They tax the rich and increase services to the poor. Which in turn contracts the economy even more. See the cycle?

This isn't conjecture. The process has been played out in many countries over history. Anyone who thinks democrats would stop at a billion dollars don't know history or human nature.

Today, we have no Trillionaires, so a billion seems a good place to put the limit. So when we have no more billionaires, where do you think the "right" place will be for liberal democrats looking for more money, having squandered all the taxes on illegal immigrants and abortions on demand? Right, at a million.

Some of the countries they praise as wonderful take as much as 65% of all the  earnings of its populace in taxes!

They see no need to limit how poor a person can get, just keep throwing someone else's money at him, but at the other end, limit how rich a person can get, and take his own money!

There is no critical thinking anymore.

Your take on the song was spot on. It was expert as a matter of fact. Do you write for a living?

Sorry, I really liked the song for it's music. I knew her take on the religion of the verses she quoted, and knew as a Jew, you might disagree. The music is so beautiful, I wish you could hear it.

-Sharon Olds
That was so beautiful! And so, so, personal! I'm looking for more of his stuff right now. Thanks for that.

So I'm bad at hearing music but I'm very interested in lyrics.
Very good with them too. I hope this will  not be too much to ask, but could you do a "reading" of Kate Bush's "Pull Out The Pin"? No rush, but I would love to hear your ideas on the lyrics.

I am American.
Well, I was wrong. It seems you gained a few powers along with your hearing loss.

Thanks for the openness. I'm sure you've been told this before, you have an eye for beauty.

"They" was Mopac. 
I wasn't certain of their gender.
Ah, You were being PC about gender.

All this recent departure of yours into religious eulogising is hard to take seriously, it all seems very tongue in cheek and over the top.
OK. But you will forgave me if I don't care how you see it? Those who know me know that it isn't unusual. And Jesus is alive forever more, no eulogising for Him.

"King Jesus accepts my rags and counts me a grain of dust" etc.
Jesus doesn't count me as a grain of dust. Read more slowly.

Lol. You're on a religion board and are unfamiliar with one of the most famous passages of the bible?

Seriously?
Yes seriously. In your little atheist PC haven, people who actually believe the bible may be rare, but we're here, many more than it seems to you. In most places, your beliefs would get the "seriously?"

But as I said, Ethan cannot possibly ashamed of his faith in Jesus. Any insult or abuse I get for His sake I take with pride, for I would rather be a fool for Jesus, than a King for this world.

I must decrease. He must increase.

Look around you hypo, see the millions of tiny tan, grainy things in the box you're sitting in? Its called sand. And adults call what you're doing, a silly feud.

I'm curious. Do you believe....

A. No one is an honest person?
If so, then the real threat to democracy is dishonesty, not billionaires.

Or

B. All Billionaires become corrupt?
Which means then that you think people should be stopped before they become billionaires.

They then use that wealth to twist democracy to suit themselves and allow them to make more money.
I find it difficult to believe a billionaire would twist the very system that made his huge wealth possible. If I became a billionaire, I would want more Democracy.

The richer the general population is, the more money the businesses of billionaires make. Billionaires only become possible and sustainable in prosperous societies.

Saying that billionaires subvert their democracies doesn't make economic sense.

What's amazing is how no reality ever makes them see how clueless they've been.

The economy is great. They say Obama started it and forget they predicted a crash with Trump.

The Mueller report finds no collusion, they simply move to the next deranged thing and forget that for 2 years they said they already had proof of collusion.

Trade is going great. They will forget that they predicted that the USA would be the laughingstock of the world.

NATO countries have ponied up, Canada and Mexico have signed contracts, England is seeking one, and North Korea has settled down. All exact opposites of what they predicted. But they seem impervious to reality.

The supreme court allows Trump to restrict green cards, upholds religious rights, allows Trump to restrict immigration from certain countries, and agrees Trump does not have to produce his tax returns. And it's like they see none of that.

The economy is doing great. Employment is soaring, manufacturing is up, the stock market is booming. Consumer confidence is strong. Yet HB says the opposite. What country is he talking about?

Now HB is claiming Trump is stealing. Yet the court just threw out the emoluments case against him. Where is HB getting this secret information? How does he get access to such privileged information? 

Does it really matter?
No. Not to them at all.

I have always loved languages.

One of the things I love about English that is absent in many other languages, is multiple words for things with only very slight differences in reality. The words are so precise, and thus require precision in their usage. A good example would be the words...

Slime, grime, mud, sludge, sleaze, dirt, and muck. All wonderful words, that can sometimes be used interchangeably, and other times mean almost opposite things.

How about grains, motes, bits, flakes, crumbs and dust?

At times you can spot the none native English speakers when they say something like, "crumbs of dust" instead of "grains of dust."

They say eskimoes have many, many words for snow. But English has many, many word for everything.

Take the derogatory terms for women,

Slut, skank, whore, and bitch.

A slut is a woman who will sleep with any man, and implies poor personal hygiene too. Though she may be of any socioeconomic class.

Whereas a skank is a woman of so low a class that she is not able to care for herself regardless her desire to do so.

And whore implies a woman whose body can be bought, usually for far less than it is worth. Implying low esteem.

Though the word "bitch" is losing it's sexual meaning, it originally meant something closer to "slut", as it's original meaning was a female dog in heat. Today it's used to say a woman is mean, and not empathetic.

There are even more derogatory words for men. Some are...

Chump, douche, jerk, doofus bozo, and loser.

Chump and doofus allude to low intellect, bozo to clownish demeanor, and jerk is the male equivalent of the female bitch. Loser has an implication of poor general economic performance.

Some of the words are so close in meaning and so nuanced, its a joy to watch a word artist use them correctly. Consider the words "nerd" and "geek"

Bill Gates is a geek, not a nerd, and Steve Jobs was a nerd, not a geek. Though both of them were jerks.

Knowing precise meanings, and then using the words correctly given those meanings, is an art.

Your opinion is always interesting, that's why I enjoy interacting with you.
That is why I never get zero replies and am popular with the Gentle Readers.

And my opinion obviously did mean something, because you were keen to reply.
Keen? Lol, OK. But your opinion did not mean anything more than an opinion. That is not a put down Zed, just a fact.

And if my attention is caught, it is. Value doesn't really come into it.
That's you. Probably because a thing of low demand is usually low value.

And If I'm directly challenged or questioned I will always respond out of courtesy. (The real purpose of DART I would suggest).
I do too, (much to the chagrin of some) but I know that is not the purpose of DART.

And your religious fervour gets more and more Mopacian. Do you intend to take over their mantle once they finally retreat into a monastic existence?
Who is "they"? There is one thing you can be sure of, I will never be ashamed of Jesus, and cannot possibly be made ashamed of Him. It is my profound and undeserved honor to be associated with Him in any way.

Titles and " mantles" mean nothing. I seek none. If I cared what atheists thought of my faith, I would have gone to an atheist site. I didn't.

And what to you is religious fervor, is from my vantage point dirty rags. But in His gracious mercy, King Jesus accepts my rags and counts me, a grain of dust, as worthy.

And when He tells me He loves me! Talk about bliss!

That said this is clearly intended as a philosophical argument against the efficacy of prayer,...
I don't think it was presented as a 
philosophical argument. It was presented to show that science "proves" the uselessness of prayer.

But I think even the philosophical argument fails. If you disagree, we can go through it now. What is the philosophical argument against the efficacy of prayer?

Logic should work in both the empirical and philosophical worlds.

Opinions are just that and to assume that one is always right is arrogant.
My attention needing to be earned is not the same as assuming I am always right.

And modelling oneself on a fantasy character is more than a tad childish.
Because you think Jesus is fantasy is like you just said, your opinion. And your opinion means nothing to me.

And a debating website serves a purpose, so to ignore is to somewhat miss the point.
I don't ignore. Have you not noticed? But my attention is still not free. Is yours?

Though it does seem quite obvious, that for ethang5 ignorance is not necessarily bliss.
My bliss is in Jesus Christ. No matter what you think of my handling of my attention, it is my decision, not yours. And there is no obligation on me to consider your opinion anything more than the opinion of a poster confused enough to consider himself a nihilist.

I will not call you ignorant, your post will do that for me.

More than 5 threads in 3 hours. All still zero replies after 20 hours.

I can always tell when you like one of my hard-hitting, right between the eyes whammies.
If they were hard-hitting, you wouldn't need so many so often. That is the delusion you hide behind to save your psyche the shame of your compulsion.

I had not posted to any board in 10 months, and my threads were still getting replies.

Look, I'll make a deal with you. Keep posting as many clunkers as you like, but admit and address your compulsion.

It is a simple personality disorder. It doesn't mean you are crazy or less of a person. But it does indicate more serious underlying problems.

Spending your life spamming the same, "Are Christians Deluded?" Thread over and over is beneath even you. Do you not want to be free?

I don't think you know what doctoring a post is. Ask a mod and he will explain it to you.

I do, and you doctor posts in this way often.
I defy you to show one post you made, and then post the "doctored" one beside it. You can't.

Accrediting quotes to me made by other members and then replying to them as if I had said them is doctoring posts. 
First, I did not accredit any post to you. Second, that would not be "doctoring".

I am amazed how you persistently get away with doing this and all of your other blatant contravening of the rules.
Of course, being bitter and biased, you will never consider the option that you are simply mistaken.

Are you a secret mod? I notice your recent  'ban' occurred over the Christmas period when no one else was posting anyway.
Lol. Here is how you can always be sure I'm not a mod of any type, if Salixes is still spamming the religion board with mono-topic, zero-reply flame-bait, and if Dee Dee is still stalking members with over wrought templated abuse, then I am not a mod.

But mods are there to answer your questions. Ask them, they will be fair, open and honest with you. There is no need for conspiracy theories.

Why am I here?

Why is that important?

Now you tell me. Why did your god create anything, at all,  in the first place? 
Sounds suspiciously like, "why am I here?"

So much for your "really" wanting to discuss the topic.

But really, if you are put off by the religion boards trolls, you'll never post there. And blaming a person who is being stalked as "always having dangerous people around him" is morally repugnant. It's like blaming the rape victim for rape.

If you really want a board free of trolls, first be morally honest, and then insist the mods rid us of them, either by controlling their behavior, or by banning them.

A rational honest person doesn't want stalking victims eliminated along with the stalkers just to be rid of stalkers.

Yes, your insistence that you can prove a negative though elsewhere you wrote that it couldn't be done.
You won't touch this will you Sal? Your contradictions are all orphans.

You have failed to provide any proof whatsoever.
If your question was rhetorical, then no one needed to offer any proof. You should know what "rhetorical" means before you use the word.

You said disproving a negative could not be done, then you insist you can disprove a negative. When your contradiction is pointed out to you, you say its a delaying tactic. Delaying what?

Rhetorical questions need no prompt. You should have simply gone ahead and disproven God.

As I remember, the last time you spammed this clunker you were similarly blown out of the water then too. I know you tire of losing, but.... Compulsion.

Try again Sal.

If you want my attention, you're going to have to earn it.

That's a tad arrogant and conceited.
Why? Is your attention for free?

Are you copying your hero Orange Donald.
I have standards. Stupidity is below those standards.

And the only person Ethan thinks is worth copying, is His Splendiferious Loveliness, Mighty King Jesus, the Bright and Morning Star, The Lion of Zion, and the Light of Men.

If you think Dee Dee deserves your attention, go pretend with him and little Timmy. When I became an adult, I put away the toys of a child.
