Actually, fairies and Santa do exist. Santa was based upon St. Nicholos and President Obama just congradulated a fairy for coming out of the closet who plays in the NBA.

Intellectual wimp, dude, I am marauding your queen side with my Meran, creating a bullet proof centre against your Pirc, how can you say I am an intellectual wimp?

Its funny how many theists in this thread would rather admit to believing in fairies and santa than admit that atheism is less arrogant than theism.

Because it's not. Theism is God-centered, while atheism is self-centered. People are often without God (a-theist) because it means they have to worship another entity that is not themselves.




But I do not believe in fairies or Santa, either.

why do you insist on bringing Obama into it? (He did WHAT to a fairy?)

He has no relevance to your point.

Why does one have to worship anything? Life is too short for ass kissing, even if the ass belongs to me.

Worship is not ass-kissing. An argument becomes moot once the given is shown to be false.

You're the biggest intellectual wimp I know. A 44 year old man too sacred to read science books reduced to admitting he's 'closed-minded' and 'ignorant' on an internet chess forum, whilst at the same time trying to pass himself off as an 'independent free thinker evaluating the evidence with his own mind'. It's bizarreness, hilarity and tragedy all rolled into one.

I think he is referring to the Homosexual who recently came out of the closet and was praised by obama.

You can try to dismiss it as you like. It's all true. 🙂
