[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Really? That's the only reason you don't do things like that? Because some book tells you to? How sad for you. _I_, on the other hand, don't do it because it's a despicable, cowardly, underhanded way of conducting onesself, and is tantamount to shooting the guy you just lost an argument with, thereby proving he was right. My Personal, self-derived, non-religious system of conduct tells me that. [IMG]http://solareclipse.net/Forums/smile.gif[/IMG] And besides, I don't WANT to. It's only words on a computer screen. Big whoop. If you want to nuke me for expressing my beliefs, go right ahead and violate everything you CLAIM to respect, and prove the Christian-Bashers are right. And I respectfully disagree, we are all born not believing in God. This is OPPOSED to denying God, saying that "There is no God." One has to be able to formulate a concept before one can believe in it or not. Newborns cannot form concepts such as that, the concepts must be taught to them. You cannot believe or disbelieve that which you cannot even comprehend. If you raise a child in an environment wherein there is no religious context at all, that child will never come to you asking about God. They will exist without the concept. It is only after they are exposed to the concept that they will accept or reject it. Nowadays, since most people's exposure and indoctrination begins at a very early age, when they are incapable of making their own value judgements, and are simply TOLD "how things are" , they accept that without (much) question. I suppose it depends on where you place the emphasis on "not." we are born not believing that 2+2=4, either. Although the concept of "2+2=4" is possibly something we CAN learn on our own.
