If it was he is still making stuff up since that thread has nothing to do with his assertion that I "get indignant about seeing a decorated Christmas tree in public".
(it is a good thread though and I stand by everything I said....in 2007 :-) )

Right... the Catholic Church nominated you as saint already, first one thats still alive.... right? Everyone that frequents this forum knows you are an atheist... you've bragged about it adnausium in at least hundreds of posts... but if it makes you happy to pretend otherwise... have at it...far be it for me to deny you that bit of happyiness, everyone else here knows the truth.

I googled "needkarma objects to Christmas tree" and that's what came up.
Similar to what Jesse on B. Bad was coached to say when Jane was found dead- "I woke up, I found her. That's all I know."
smearcase... I can find dozens on a matter of minutes... on threads I've participated in alone the comments were made in, but its not worth my time... they are there and only a mod or higher can edit content so there won't be any last minute deletions... and its not important enough for me to get worked up over anyway. I've got more important things to do.
When did I deny that? How do I pretend I'm not? You obviously do not have anything better to do.Quote:

BTW next Christmas we'll put up a decorated tree... just like last Christmas. I really don't know what you're rambling about.
Jesus didn't have a tree. Some guy in Europe through that into the tradition in the 16th Century.

They make it up as they go along would appear. Religious beliefs are subject to influence other than the truth. Or is it a perceived truth?
If it makes you feel good to believe that... have at it.. you among a few others have a long history of posting info to that effect.Quote:

Jesus didn't need all the rubbish, he didn't need buildings and he didn't need deputy dog Santa
Why the need to pray to anything at all?Quote:

Humans need those things though.Quote:

Here are case studies in which myths have helped Dr. May's patients make sense out of an often senseless world."
Firstly; we need to get the attitude out of the way, Jesus is not a thing, an object. Secondly; there are times in the life of every person where they need the intervention of someone greater than themselves, if you haven't experienced that yet, you have been fortunate. My book; Revival ~ a different perspective will answer your questionQuote:

I have been fortunate I suspect.
Remember this from the person who just a few posts back was claiming they WERE NOT an atheist...
When was that smoothy?
Go back a few posts. Those are not comments made by a person that has any religious faith.
If you are you are..if you aren't you aren't....whichever it may be...embrace it. Nobody here is trying to "save you" or convert you.
Once again I don't understand your lack of capacity to directly answer a question.
I learned that from you. You should be proud.
