Greetings fellow warriors,

Funnily enough, the survey I wrote below was the last straw for the good folks at Amazon. I've now been banned from all discussion boards there, and they're busy cleansing the boards of my presence. Moreover, it appears that they're also purging my book reviews (two so far have been deleted, one of which was against Pope Dawkins and his nonsense, the other against the assault upon the incarnational that the Kindle represents). Meanwhile, the likes of Anne Rice and her abysmal minions remain free to vandalize the Amazon discussion boards with every manner of anti-Catholic filth. Such is the world.

At any rate, if you know of some good places for me to post this survey, kindly let me know. Thanks.

That is intense, man. Maybe on the side of lacking charity, but wow its so true all the fill-ins you put. Pretty much defines the modern agnostic/atheist today.

Richard Dawkins has his own website and forum; you might try there.

He is an irrational tool-bag.  He could not stand to have one of us there for more than five minutes.  His appearance in Ben Stein's film was embarrassing -- his willful blindness is staggering.

What a fantastic movie!!  A little theatrics near the end, but very well done, nonetheless.  I love how Mr. Stein, a true Renaissance man, wears tennis shoes.

About.atheism has a forum.

Atheist Forum

You might try there.

Atheism, like sedevacantism, assumes what it is trying to prove a priori then bases conclusions around that assumption. It is a system closed in on itself, explaining away or ignoring all evidence that would tend to eviscerate it's assumption, which is taken on faith.

What a cheap shot; you owe another apology for this one.

I attacked the position, not individuals.

Returning to the topic, atheism is inherently absurd, that defying reason and reality. Atheism is ultimately the most unscientific thing, the ultimate abomination; it is the grossest form of intellectual sodomy.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but, uh, I am beginning to get a bit unnerved by this pathological obsession with sedevacantism that seems to orient most [if not all] your apologetical writings in this forum. Unfortunately, you do not seem to understand what the sedevacantists of good will really believe. The points you have argued have been answered by the sedevacantists here on the forum, yet you continue to provoke fruitless discussions that remind of me of threads already existing. Not that their responses have to satisfy you or convince you, but you keep bring up the same things again and again.

You once complained that this Forum was being overrun by sedevacantists, but you are the one that seems to bring up the topic again and again, even in discussions like this one, that have nothing to do with sedevacantism.

You should probably take a SV, a "sede-vacay," just like some people here on the forum don't discuss MJ with Roscoe anymore after many attempts to convince him to change his stance on it.

Don't forget he is getting paid to do this.   :roll-laugh1:
