Dear runner,

It is not an assumption that your belief system is based on unprovable propositions. That is fact. You may believe what you will, but fact is fact. All human being are animals. They are vertebrates, mammals of the genius, homo and the species, sapiens. Puny fist is nonsense. I just don't share your superstition, and it remains superstition no matter how sincerely you believe it. Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Jains, Muslims, Zoroastrians and others also believe their superstitions. You have a right to retain your superstition, but that's what it is. You probably do your job well and treat others well, but you are in the grip of superstition. Your superstition seems to make you neither tolerant of other beliefs nor happy. I hope you will be tolerant of other beliefs and happy.

runner,

I thought we sorted this one out a long time ago. Remember, you had to run and duck for cover when the lie that was your arguement was exposed.

Jayb is right. Christians and Muslims share the same god. You just get a bit pissy about this because you like to pretend that atheists are more like Muslims, without providing any reasoning whatsoever for such a dumb assertion.

The last two posts are in my view spot on,and for me at least add to my view faith can be ,well is a problem for all of humanity, do not get me wrong, my Christian days saw as it does for most, me thinking all men are equal and wanting a better world, IF we have to prove yet again, three faiths came from the one God in the middle east what do we say about SOME American Christians who too use their God just as badly as SOME Muslims do?

No AJ it is you who run from the Light choosing idiotic pseudo science as a disguise for intelligence.

Probably the same thing as what those baby killers do in the name of no god Belly. Heard of Stalin, Hitler, Mao?

Dear runner,

You have used the expression, "shake your puny fists at God". I only get angry at what exists. My anger generally serves no useful purpose. I can either do something about the situation or not. However, I do not get angry at God, god or gods. I do not get angry at the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, Zeus, God, Apollo, unicorns or other entities which do not exist. I am not angry at you. You probably are a decent person, and I hope you will become a happy person or at least a person better able to control his emotions. There is an ancient philosophy that may help.

Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium in Athens in the early 3rd century BC. It was heavily influenced by certain teachings of Socrates, while stoic physics are largely drawn from the teachings of the philosopher Heraclitus. Stoicism is predominantly a philosophy of personal ethics informed by its system of logic and its views on the natural world. According to its teachings, as social beings, the path to happiness for humans is found in accepting this moment as it presents itself, by not allowing ourselves to be controlled by our desire for pleasure or our fear of pain, by using our minds to understand the world around us and to do our part in nature's plan, and by working together and treating others fairly and justly.

Stoicism flourished throughout the Roman and Greek world until the 3rd century AD, and among its adherents was Emperor Marcus Aurelius. It experienced a decline after Christianity became the state religion in the 4th century AD. Since then it has seen revivals, notably in the Renaissance (Neostoicism) and in the modern era (modern Stoicism).
