    I mean you last line sums it up, If on your balance you can weight the sum total of human systematic logical effort against your anecdotal experience then what is the point of discussion at all?

    And you want to know when that looks really ugly? When the faithful see things like “the light and hope brought by faith” and are blind to rivers of blood and human suffering that have not ceased to this day enabled and perpetuated by faith.

    It doesn’t matter if there is a god, by the things done in God’s name the concept of faith must be reject for humanities sake.

      These are George Carlin quips, not exhaustive mathematical proofs.

      When the faithful see things like “the light and hope brought by faith” and are blind to rivers of blood and human suffering that have not ceased to this day enabled and perpetuated by faith.

      The blood and suffering flow as quickly from the machine logic of a Randroid Atheist as any Theocrat. Blaming a religious figment for natural disasters and manufactured cruelties is no more logical than attributing charity and compassion to the magic sky fairy.

      the things done in God’s name the concept of faith must be reject for humanities sake.

      That doesn’t logically follow.
