ahh .... I see the problem ...... you have me confused with a Christian

Is that the same confusion you have made with me too?

I think you have me confused with someone else....... I don't recall
ever attacking you for any reason ......I may have sometime in the
distant past ( we all misread things at times ), but it most certainly
would have been in error ...... do you have a link to this alleged
indiscretion ? If I have said something 'out of order' I would like a
chance to defend myself or apologise ..... whichever way it goes .....

Don't worry about it, I just wasn't sure.

...... not sure how ..... I have an a.a. number ( check out ANY of my
posts ! )

What the hell is an AA number? Is that a religious thing?

In alt.atheism it refers to members of the 'Atheist/Agnostic' list .....
if you're not posting from there then I guess you wouldn't be aware of
it .....

.... I'm a hard core Card carrying Atheist

You mean you can't be an Atheist if you don't carry a card identifying yourself
as one? I don't think so.

sheesh ..... it's an 'expression' son ..... a joke .... sort of like "
Come the Revolution .... Bill Gates will be first up against the wall "
... I don't think there will ever be a revolution nor do I hate Bill
Gates enough to want him shot .....but I sometimes say it when Windows
crashes........it just means I'm an Atheist Ok ?

I think I understand.

......I have NO
version of the Bible ..... it's all bronze age ***** ..... just that
I happen to like poking Christians with sticks and Mormons especially so
....... I think you misunderstood my approach .......

That is true but you have to understand this: all Bibles are made up, each one
to suit the purposes of the religious sect it was translated by. The Jehovah's
Witnesses and the Mormon's are not the only ones with make believe Bibles. King
James does not accurately reflect the Greek or Hebrew version of the originals.
In fact, the original books themselves are obviously fabricated up out of thin
air. If you want some examples of this, take a look at

Huh ? where did I say I didn't believe all Bibles ( ALL religious texts
for that matter ) were made up ?

No one made any claims about what you allegedly said, so there is no need to
become defensive over it. I am just simply stating a fact. My only concern was
that you weren't being fair and equitable since you singled out the Mormons as a
group that made up their own Bible when in actuality all religious groups, in
one way or another, make up their own versions of the Bible.

I have NEVER accepted ANY religious
text as valid, I don't need your links to tell me that...... I could
give you a ton of links that show exactly the same thing ..... You DO
have me confused with someone else ..... are you posting from a.a. ?

I am not posting from anywhere, I am only posting *to* the groups you see in the
field labeled "Newsgroups".

Even though I am an Atheist, I don't belong to any group nor does it imply that
I do. Being an Atheist simply means that I doubt or deny any and all claims as
to the existence of a God or Gods. Being an Atheist says nothing about whether I
am a Communist or a Fascist or a Capitalist or a Buddhist or a scientist or a
Republican or a Democrat or anything at all. By definition, as an Atheist I can
believe in anything I want to, just so long as it doesn't include a God or Gods
somewhere in there. Likewise, I can belong to any group I want, as long as that
group does not require me to blindly believe in a God or Gods. Or I can have no
beliefs or belong to no group whatsoever.
