If there's a God that determines right and wrong, why the flaming shipwreck did he give some people their own Jiminy Cricket and not others?
Sometimes I just want a magic bug that gives me the right answer. When it seems like nobody else has to think about it, and they certainly don't have to explain it to me, sometimes I don't want to have to think about it either.
Is there a good reason some people missed out?

Is either it's preservation or the opinion of it's preservers evidence that it is actual history?Purple Knight wrote:Except that there actually is a Big Book of Yahweh and it has been preserved for a very long time, with most of its preservers considering it to be actual history.Tcg wrote:It is a challenge to get those who accept the Big Book of Yahweh as evidence of Yahweh to see the weakness of that conclusion. If the tale of the Big Book of Leprechauns helps some readers understand the fallacious nature of the argument that the claims in Yahweh's book are evidence of his existence, it has served its purpose.
I'd suspect one who doubts the existence of Abraham Lincoln would answer with a resounding, "No!"

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

Of course I doubt it. I'm just pointing out that others might not, and that the Bible at least exists.Tcg wrote:Is either it's preservation or the opinion of it's preservers evidence that it is actual history?Purple Knight wrote:Except that there actually is a Big Book of Yahweh and it has been preserved for a very long time, with most of its preservers considering it to be actual history.Tcg wrote:It is a challenge to get those who accept the Big Book of Yahweh as evidence of Yahweh to see the weakness of that conclusion.

Stuff other people might have made up is not quite as doubtful as stuff you personally know you just made up.
I don't believe in either, of course.
