you have engaged in intolerance towards my beliefs by requiring anything from them at all
If nobody questions your beliefs, you never think to question them either. Once again, a believer forgets that we were ALL believers and went through the pain of questioning of our beliefs. As I recall, your beliefs have undergone quite the metamorphosis since you started posting here and I fully suspect that they will continue to change.

Nah...let's just change the history books and make them mandatory for school curriculum.

Sab, I've decided to not be offended by your remark about my tolerance. This is because I'm tolerant. Also because I like you, even though I don't agree with you, I like you. :)
So there.

Do you have an example of when you used a capital G when God wasn't the first word in a sentence?
yes, page 16 post 4140 in this very thread when referring to YOUR God.
And there...I did it again.

And I realized that I spelled 'addendum' incorrectly in my post above and fixed it. Care to comment on that? LOL

When speaking of an all knowning God grammatically you should use a capital G. The fact that you don't is telling. But, yes in part the reasoning is that we can imagine a God therefore there is a God, but it goes beyond that.
And grammatically, Santa Claus doesn't have an 'e' on the end - it's not a legal addendum. Potato potahto. Is this really where you want the conversation to go?

That's not true, we have the human mind as testament to God's creation.
Why, because the human mind is capable of reasoning that there is a god?
The human mind is capable of all sorts of wonderful and terrifying imaginings, but Middle Earth, Pandora and Narnia are not based on real historical locations...imagination is an amazing thing but it's not proof of a god, darlin.

It's been said before - and on this very thread - but it bears repeating so I'll say it again. Everything that has been used in history to prove the existence of a god has been proved by science to be something else entirely. What was that definition of insanity again?

If you can't get your point across without "suggesting more education" then it's a failure of epic preportions on the part of the alleged teacher.
I never said that. I advocate thinking about what you believe and figuring out for yourself whether what you believe is because of evidence or because you just really really want to believe it. But you do bring up an interesting point. Education is important, whether secular or having an inquiring mind that wants to try and understand things and researching accordingly. There are no boxes here, but there are motives. Is avidly reading conspiracy theories on the internet acting on a motive for wanting to believe the worst in something or someone, or just an education tool so that people don't feel like they're getting suckered?
