Her name is 'China'? Interesting name. Reminds me of that actress, America Ferrera, or whatever it is. It's just so perverted, though. :(

Aparently. Her mum probably mistook her for a China Plate, slapped a chicken pie on her and stuck her in.

How is torturing a baby consistent with atheism?  I don't need a fear of eternal punishment to tell me that causing extreme pain and disfigurement in an innocent child is bad.  You've stooped really low here.

[Brady Kelly]

In SA, everyone's name is 'china', or rather, 'my china'.

See, he doesn't understand the concept of helping other people for the sake of it. He thinks it will win him a ticket to eternal salvation, so essentially he is a selfish bastard.

Isn't that right Ilíon? I don't hurt other people because I don't want to, whereas you don't hurt them because your God doesn't want you to? Doesn't that make me a better person than you?

Ilíon, I'm confused. You wrote this; this is your ultimate logic debunking atheism: IF 'materialism' is the truth about the nature of reality, THEN minds (or 'souls' if you prefer that word) cannot exist. BUT minds do exist. THEREFORE, 'materialism' (and 'physicalism,' and 'naturalism,' and 'atheism,' and 'agnosticism') is clearly seen to be false. But I don't get it.

You, Ilíon, are an abusive obnoxious little man. :mad: I was tempted to mark your post as Abuse.

How is it not consistent? If atheism is the truth about the nature of reality, then there are no such things as right and wrong (or, to write the words consistent with your atheistic metaphysics, "right" and "wrong"). If atheism is the truth about the nature of reality, then "all things are permissible." If atheism is the truth about the nature of reality, then no one is responsible for his actions[^], for no one is responsible for *anything* (You children freak out when I point out that in this very piece Mr Dawkins admits to being a liar about the very things he's asserting.)

No; you *refuse* to think clearly, logically, rationally.

[soap brain]

Ilíon, have you always been like this?

You have no idea what atheism is all about, do you? Kinda funny actually.

Do it. Do you really imagine I care that fools who refuse to think cannot abide having the truth spoken?

[soap brain]

I refuse to think, so I guess I'll just annoy you.

Egocentric righteousness: the natural tendency to feel superior in the light of our confidence that we are in the possession of THE TRUTH.
