Both. It took an aphrodesiac-laced laxative.

Just pointing out that I didn't create the labels "God is Good" and "Freedom From Religion Foundation".

Where your link, for instance, just proves the existence of God for a theist. Nice planet, God!

"No arheist is so stupid" was the claim. The link refutes the absolutist "no atheist", but perhaps I misread the misspelling, and you meant something else?

Still, I should have read further back in the conversation and posted this instead:

Certainly NOT modern....Predated Christ by 500 years.

And somehow, I don't think they'd put up with http://sundayassembly.com/assemblies/ very long

GOOD- glad somebody got that.

That's why I inserted the word "modern". Should have been "postmodern", I suppose, but one can quibble the point.

Is that why the bloody angel, an idol created by cleaving one's victim from neck to pelvis and spreading the ribs wide as a warning was common in pre-Christian northern Europe?

I think your scholars are deluded.

Yeah you run it on a VM. Everyone's using VMs all the time now, right?

I was thinking more about the "Good without God" movement- definitively and explicitly atheist, yet still somehow affected by "Good" that just happens to coincide with the good of Christianity.

Your one true atheist would be rather unwelcome in such circles, having never worked at a soup kitchen.

I remain unconvinced, either way, that the tale of Saint Isa is true or false. But if true- and there's plenty of room in the Bible for it to be true, 30 years is a long time in a young man's life, and travel to India was certainly possible from Galilee in those days- then yes, it is quite possible that Buddhism infected Christianity with certain ideas.

But I'm not sure what Buddhism has to do with modern Atheism, which would deny the Buddha as being yet another bronze age magician.

I was thinking more about "Good without God", "The Freedom From Religion Foundation" and most obviously, "Sunday Fellowship", all of which are atheistic organizations trying to do good by a Christian definition of Good.

"that views others as equal to yourself in all ways. "

Exactly. That was the novelty of Christianity 2000 years ago- the concept that all are equal in sin and dignity.

Well, that and free food. I think the free food, before the liturgy was locked down, was more the reason for conversion in a time that didn't have any such thing.

Well, for that matter, modern atheism is hopelessly Christian- it comes from a post-Christian world in which certain values that would never be recognized by pre-Christian pagans as true, are taken as truth.

Or at least that's the only explanation I can see for a non-violent atheism.
