Ahem...
... I don't know if I'm an extreme atheist: I have no time for sloppy arguments, though, and I think that theistic arguments are sloppy. I've not seen one that isn't.

Having said that - I'm getting more and more disenchanted with Dawkins/ Meyers/ The Reason Project et al because of their misuse of moral argumentation against religion. (See my post on p1 for this.) Metaphysically and epistemologically, it's an open-and-shut case. No god; no supernature. But you can't get there from an appeal to morality - and that's a mistake that a lot of the atheist shrills make.

"No, the persistence of evil actions by religious people is not an argument against religion."
True, but it's a good starting point to bring religion down from it's high horse.

I wouldn't
pick an discussion with you, tbh. You'd run rings around me. But I do like the idea of the the traditional arguments being shelved because they don't make any sense. Perhaps it could stimulate a more sophisticated discuss? But not with me, I'm an idiot.

Cheers
to all that replied, it's been interesting.

And as Bob said "It's good to talk."
