It's almost like if you have a headache, and someone says, "I don't' think you have a headache, prove it". -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 07:26 6
- then you say 'i don't need to prove it, i have a headache' and go about your day. -- nm - Andie Jan 29, 07:27 5
  - I don't get it though. I don't believe in aliens but I don't find the need to put a billboard on a bus about it. If people do, then good for them. -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 07:30 2
    - ever see an ad for scientology? that's essentially the same thing. -- nm - Andie Jan 29, 07:32 1
      - maybe not the best example ... I get angry at scieno ads. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 07:33
  - but you're annoyed at the person. -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 07:29 1
    - so be annoyed, back up your side of the argument, tell me why there is a god. i can be annoyed without being 'offended or attacked.' -- nm - Andie Jan 29, 07:32
surely that's implied by "there is no God"? -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 07:25 2
- (a) it says Probably, and (b) if you are a person of faith, i assume you've heard at some point that someone somewhere might not believe in God. - Andie Jan 29, 07:26 1
  - well, the ad doesn't bother me, I'm just thinking why people might be bothered by it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 29, 07:27
