Think of the demographics of those they see on the death bed.mad4city said:Oddly, and I say this knowing that my grandfather, nearly 70 years ago was one -and I certainly won't be ... but, my daughter in law(ish) and my neighbour, two good friends and my cousin ( and that's 23 to 120ish if she they were all alive today) have all been/are doctors or nurses and they all agree, there are very, very few disbelievers on a deathbed.
And some of them, most vehemently, still are agnostic. So, that's probably the test.
Just thought I'd spout that whilst pissed when I shouldn't be.

they need to believe in some mythical super being in order to give their pathetic lives meaning and the church just makes them pay for that privilege
What a huge fucking pile of shit you speak.
How very Christian, oh you.

On evolution: it is a fact, observed through (1) analysis of the fossil record which shows an almost complete progression of human evolution for 2.5 million years, (2) the presence of MRSA "superbug" which demonstrates evolution in action at this very moment.
On God: there is no way to disprove the presence or absence of a supreme deity, but it is not for the non-believer to prove anything, the onus is on the believer to provide proof. As Stephen Hawking has quite simply summarised: God is not necessary
On evolution: Correct
On God: Why not allow 'believers' to believe, and stop trying to smash what may be the only thing to keep them going? Some people, believe it or not, would crumble if there was ever any 'proof' that God DOESN'T exist.
On evolution: Indeed!
On God: I'm happy to allow them to believe, as you put it, as long as I am not expected to believe and as long as no harm comes of it. Unfortunately, in world history, an awful lot of harm has come of it.
