Standard disclaimer: the calendar on the wall behind me belongs to Mrs. DJW. My (otherwise excellent) old college mentor in philosophy, was fond of this canard, and hearing from him again recently made me think of this topic again.

  • Invisible Pink Uniform, eh? Kinky.

  • @rozeboosje You should know. ;-)

  • I believe the emphasis is on o in parsimony, not the i.

  • @SpookyFan That's what I figured. But par-SI-mi-ny sounds more natural to me for some reason.

  • I am not certain that god exists, but I have never seen any evidence or had reason to believe the hearsay evidence that god does exist. I will therefore continue to live my life accordingly, and continue to seek the truth, even if that path leads me to discover there is a god.

  • Actually, no. Children are born theists; they believe that mommy is a god. It is only as we grow older and more mature that we learn that mommy is mortal, Santa and the Easter Bunny are lies some parents tell their children. Some of us actually reach full adulthood and recognize that supernatural deities are also lies that they were told.

  • King Karrot Kake. He is my deity. Although I do recognize The Flying Spaghetti Monster & the Invisible Pink Unicorn as existing, I only view them as prophets and nothing more.

  • @DavidJohnWellman hehehe no comment

  • God is supposed to be everywhere so I don't have to search the universe. If I look in any one place and don't see him then he doesn't exist.

  • Devout theists attack atheism in this way because they *assume* it's gnostic.

    Oh, the irony.

    

  • why go so hard

    just ask a retarded theist who makes this claim

    tell them that they can't prove that the FSM isn't real

    and tell them that you dismiss their imaginary friend the same way that they dismiss the all mighty FSM

    Ramen

  • Exactly. Round squares and married batchelors. Nothing to add to that.
