Nothing like kindly being chastised by an atheist...

And Michael has chastised me before along the same lines:

"How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?" -- Penn Gillette

As the resident atheist, let me just explain that I don't regard it as a worthy prize that my particular life last forever. The fact that religion offers "everlasting life" is to me one of the clearest signs that it is a manmade fabrication, borne of man's egoistic fear of death.

Steph, I know you know but for our our tens of readers out there, I wasn't posting to try to goad any particular theological asses, just thought it interesting to hear someone not condemn the the guy's effort at proseli, prosely, uh, evangelism.

I don't think there's any need for name calling -- theological or otherwise...

Scooter said...

Fine. Perhaps you prefer "gore any particular theological oxen?"

I guess the correct spelling is proselytize, though I could have sworn I'd looked it up before and found the correct spelling to be prosthelytize, which matches the way I pronounce it (apparently incorrectly).
