Thanks for mentioning these. I grew up hearing TFTD because we tended to have Radio 4 on in the morning for the news. I enjoyed Pete's summaries very much.

Thanks Hedshaker - that's exactly what I was looking for!

Jobar, maybe I saw it in a post of yours - or Winace's.

Does anyone have a link for that Occam's razor graphic?

I saw it here years ago - a little animated graphic in which a razor slices off a theist statement into an atheist one. I think it was linked to here rather than created by someone from here, but I may be wrong.

I can't remember the two statements in it.

Any ideas? Links?

excreationist, please be careful about your health - if you want to believe that's fine with me but please don't stay up all night if you are Bipolar. Bipolar people really need to be protective of their sleep.

Aren't I innocent until proven guilty? I am a good person. That should have be taken for granted, unless you have some reason to think otherwise. I thought your statements were about you and God, not you and me. If God exists and has the attributes typically ascribed to Him by theists, God does not...

You're assuming that said person is automatically immoral. Although admittedly, the OP is automatically assuming that the person (or themselves) are generally good and moral. I'm not assuming anything. I said 'if'. Anyhow, let's not derail into a ridiculous moral definition thing, sorry. It's not a...

If a person is cheating on their spouse, do they have nothing to worry about if their spouse is good?

Doesn't whether you have anything to worry about depend both on God's nature and your behavior?

All I'm interested in, really, is whether you believe yourself to be 100%, totally and irrefutably above the condemation of hell. If you do, then that's great, and I hope you're right. If not, then you're like me, and it'll be taking all your life and energy to try to evade all those condemnation l...
