Re: Artificial humans vs. Christianity

Re: Evidence and all that

"Deism. Of late, sometimes known as Sklanskianity."

Deism and Sklanskyanity are very different. Sklanskyanity postualtes a god who will reward and punish.

Re: atheists-- what is your source of hope?

I am not happy with these replies. They imply that atheists need to find some other source of hope to become atheists. Atheists should believe what they do soley because of science and logic. If that...

Re: A Question for Christians

"it is a weak reasoner method of discrediting his "opponent""
