Stephen Colbert vs. Richard Dawkins - and the winner is...
ReligionDiscuss General Theology, Religions and Denominations, God's Attributes, Predestination and Free Will, Dispensationalism, Eschatology, Philosophy, Origins, Archaeology, Science, World History and other such topics.
See...even talk show hosts know that Dawkins is full of it. I like Stephen's answer: "Are you deaf?"

Apparently not . . . . I think Colbert is channeling Stripe.
Unfortunately Dawkins clearly has NO ability to argue with someone that's completely irrational. Why he bothered to go on the show is beyond me and it did make Dawkins look bad.
Prolifeguyswife is a standard candle for stupidity on TOL. We can rate the stupidity of all others using Prolifeguyswife as a baseline standard of one.

Yes, I realize that.
OY!
A serious answer from Colbert would be:
The evidence is in my heart and in the changes within me. You won't know about it until you experience it.
No one has a clue until they experience it and they mock it all. They're missing out. I feel sorry for them.

Oh to be the lofty ultimate intellectual and to think I once was one myself. I've been where you've been HC, you have yet to be where I am in age or experience.
I am new at Christianity but not life. Admittedly, I'm not so knowledgeable about Christianity but I certainly know more about it than you do already and what's really amazing is I'm experiencing it and it's beyond description and deeper than simple brain knowledge.
HC, your sister in your avatar is just gorgeous!

Do they feed you lead paint chips in that church you go to or something?
I am happy to say I'm an intellectual but I'm not lofty, as you are.
Before I became a believer, I never joined a forum to tell believers they're morons and laugh at them. I have never been lofty enough for that nor did I want to waste my time as you do.
Paint chips! Good one......... I'll never recover from your recurring infantile quips. I'm so broken now.

As of yet, it seems that you aren't that intellectually curious, and certainly take time to mock the beliefs of others without taking heed of any retort. They are (myself included), apparently, so wrong you don't have to waste your time.
Incidentally, you do seem to have time for people merely being insulting. The vast majority of the time, IIRC, I bring something useful to the table.
