uigi's latest infallible decree:
GOD IS A TERRORIST AND INVENTION
This latest decree confirms dramatically an old axiom,he who wont believe in god will go on to believe absolutely anything.
Issues raised:
*The Inventor:who is he/she, an atheist? surely not;an agnostic? nuh! he wouldnt know if he invented God or not; A sceptic? he would go mad trying to prove he didnt do it;a secularist? too dumb by far;
a psycho [who claims he invented god]? now youre talking!
Credentials:the inventor must be a polyglot extraordinaire to insinuate his divine invention across mankind from darkest africa and muslim lands through asia with its gaggle of gods up to the highlands of papua new guinea and so the evangelisation continues by the ubiquitous apostle inventor--by the way anyone found the test tube or lab for this invention ?
but in fairness to luigi,he doesn't deny god exists;he just doesn't like the guy.
BUT I still prefer to believe in my God than bend to luigi's most extraordinary fulminating creed of faith indeed the blindest faith ive come across in 30 years as God's little priest in australia and a stint in asia! by the way luigi,you never mention SATAN he cant stand god either,watch him though he be crafty bugger dat pella der!
luigi got to go -will discuss god as al quaeda another time i can only handle so much of this in one session i am recovering from a debilitating stroke-semi paralysis from 2002

I'm sorry to hear of the indisposition of my opponent/would-be assailant. I hope i haven't given you an apoplectic fit. May your god go with you. At least you're prepared to ackowledge my infallibility, which is more than my wife is ever prepared to do.

To Jose, the 'miracles' you presumably believe in have been dealt with time and time again by scientific analysis and none have stood up to the test. Miracles have been claimed by the religious for centuries, of course, and the essay 'On Miracles' by the great eighteenth century sceptical philosopher David Hume is still one of the best refutation of these claims ever penned. It's noteworthy, of course, that god is putatively the creator of the universe and thus is easily able to perform miracles much more impressive than the puny tricks you attribute to him. In any case none of these tricks explain why god, the apparent creator of our 13 billion-year-old universe, should reveal himself only a few thousand years ago to a goat-herding semitic tribe on an out-of-the-way planet, a tribe that just happened at the time to be craving a bit of supernatural protection against its enemies.

An important study has recently been published, showing that religious, and specifically Christian belief, is highly correlated with high crime rates and social dysfunction. The most highly secularised nations on the globe have the lowest crime rates and social problems, by and large. Funny that.

Luigi,thank you so much for your most touching sentiments--you have exposed your acchilles heel viz that big soft heart--I will work on that for your conversion Don't you go getting yourself upset about causing me strokes. I have been insulted by experts and lived, In fact i have officiated at their burials abd cremations, Indeed I stood at the grave of one opponent and shouted "you're not so damn smart now you secular atheist are you? no reply luigi!-yet once you couldnt shut him up withn his dead end theories![I was chaplain at rookwood cemetery for 4 years[1 million parishioners] and sent them off to their Private Judgement before the merciful but just God in their hundreds.
Anyway luigi,back to the battle for your immortal soul!
This awesome infinite all powerful god humbly became a little bub in the middle of nowhere in bethlehem so that terrified mortals like you would come with confident anticipation like the 3 wise men and pick up the baby/god and give him a big sloppy kiss and be friends so luigi kneel and make friends with your god and go to confession--you must be a baptised rc with a name like luigi
i agree with your wife you are not infallible you only think you are
and please luigi resolve those deep subconscious conflicts you project onto poor god who loves you so--god alone knows why! meanwhile i offer my paralysis etc as a penance to win you the singular grace of your conversion--forget your infallible waffle, kiss the divine baby and sleep the sleep of the just instead of typing replies at 2 am as on the other night--your poor wife! if god can reach down humbly to bethlehem then adelaide would be a cinch maaaaan!
you can call me giorgie if it helps you but dont call god goddio[only teasing]
i am after you luigi--watch it[no wonder satan hates me--no doubt the mongeral was behind this stupid stroke].
your best enemy
father john george--scourge of atheists,agnostics and heretics

Luigi, who explained to you the scientific reasons behind incorruptibility? (It has been eplained time and time again- But How?) What are these explanations? I Promise you that if you can give rock solid scientific evidence behind these cases then I will come over to your side. If you cannot, then I recommend you go investigate it yourself

By the way, just in case you're about to say "David Hume" that's insufficient. Rock solid evidence must be expressed in words by You please (I will read this writing of Hume's- I'm not brushing it aside just to avoid it, I do want to discover what atheists think, in order to understand how I can better explain things to them- so I'm waiting for scientific evidence that cancells all possibility of divine intervention in these cases of incorruptibility)

Luigi
I was so blinded by your last effusive compassion and sympatico that I totally missed your latest infallible promulgation hurled with an anathema against my mate jose. Again I totally dissent from your solemn fulminating magisterium thereby placing myself in deep proverbial
You declared that miracles have no scientific validity!
re cures at Lourdes France alone:"A Medical Bureau was established in 1882 to test the authenticity of the cures. The doctors include unbelievers as well as believers and any doctor is welcome to take part in the examination of the alleged cures. As many as 500 medical men of all faiths or no faith have taken advantage of the invitation each year" I spent many hours at uni of nsw library reading those scientificly authenticated cures with a doctor specialist on hand for further discussion
loigi i have emailed to the lourdes shrine for prayers for the conversion of luigi--so be warned we are after you eat your hearts out jehovah witnesses!--hundreds of thousands pray for those intentions at lourdes and conversions are even more spectacular than medical cures. there are numerous cures not checked by the medical bureau as the cured are too anxious to get back home and do housework and feed the family return to work or do the garden--once considered an impossibility. however there are numerous cures medically verified
