Reviewing the answers my latest questions have received, I see that the atheists who answered do not recognize their assumptions any more than the Theists who have answered my previous questions recognize theirs. Both sides of the argument depend upon sophistry to a high degree.

Neither side seems prepared to acknowledge that the experience of some is not the experience of others, or that interpreting experience is a purely subjective process. Both sides accuse the other of self-deception and, by extension, the deception of others.

Both sides are dogmatic. And when the semantics are boiled away, the bottom line seems to be "I don't like the way your group treats my group". Both sides point to the human rights transgressions of the other group (crusades/inquisition vs Stalin/Mao), while dismissing the transgressions of their own group as atypical/unrepresentative.

I'm a Wiccan, but I pose as a christian I go to my mother's church, because she forces me and wants me to be a christian.
I also want to know how to tell my mother that I don't want to be christian without starting trouble for myself.

Do you secretly fear that there could be a God, that the collective intuition of billions could actually be right, and it bothers you so much to think that you want to get as many other people to agree with you so you can feel more comfortable about denying it?

If it is wrong, why muslim scholors have not been able to provide an interest free banking system, despite shouting that it is wrong. There are some banks who say that they do interest free banking but they decieve by giving a new name to the 'interest'.

I work at a fine dining restaurant, and we currently sing the typical "Happy Birthday" to our guests. Does anyone have suggestions for something a little classier or less cheesy?

I'm going to miss work next Thurday because I'm jetting to NY. My co-workers are going to be pissed because I planned this at the last minute. They're mostly women and I was thinking of getting them this bouquet;

Just read this quote, it made me laugh:

"It seems to be an intrusive nature to religion now in this country that I don't quite understand- there isn't an hour in the day where a television preacher doesn't bully his way into your living room. I see through these guys like used Neutrogena. You know, they say they don't favor any particular denomination, but I think we've all seen their eyes light up at 10s and 20s."
[Dennis Miller, from the "Black & White" show]

I'm not from the U.S., so my question is - is this unfair or accurate?

I recently went to a fortuneteller and she said a lot of things that shocked me, like what was going to happen in the next 18 months, nothing was bad, she just said some things that I think won't happen. She seem to know a lot about me but I didn't even give anything away. What is your view??

Why do most people that worship religions believe they worship the one true God? Doesn't everyone recognize that, which, god you worship is completely determined by which culture you grow up in?
