Object: Tom Harpur and atheism
Tom Harpur (Thomus Harpus) gets my vote as the most ridiculous person alive.
The guy writes books and newpaper columns about how Christianity is "mythos"
and that Jesus didn't even necessarily exist. He is like the goons that
come here and tell us over and over about what they *don't* believe. What a
joke.
The genious will read one book and then use it to dispel another book.
First it was the Bible and now Josephus.
What kind of mentality says that everyone who believes in God is delusional.
It reminds me of the homo-political agenda. They invent a word like
"homophobia" which is pure nonsense as it changes disgust into fear. They
can't live with the idea that someone is disgusted with them so they change
that into fear as it causes less pain. So it is with Tom Harpur. He knows
he is hell-bound; that God is not speaking to him; that he is fallen, so he
tries to *create* a world where God doesn't even exist.
I would have to say that the most mentally unstable people these days are
the god-haters and deniers.
It is quite one thing to say "you weren't around 2000 years ago so you don't
know" but it is quite another to say "that definitely didn't happen 2000
years ago and anyone who believes it is delusional".
Ironic, but those who accuse us of being delusional are exactly the ones who
are delusional.

You have evidence to the contrary? Let's see it...

He is like the goons that come here and tell us over and over
about what they *don't* believe. What a joke.

While you tell us all about what you do believe, and that's pretty
laugable too.

The genious will read one book and then use it to dispel another book.

That's called scholarship.

First it was the Bible and now Josephus.

Your point?

What kind of mentality says that everyone who believes in God is delusional.

It's a logical deduction. The alternative is that some of the many who
believe in a God are right, and we have to guess which ones with no
evidence to work with.

I would have to say that the most mentally unstable people these days are
the god-haters and deniers.

I would say that you're prejudiced.

It is quite one thing to say "you weren't around 2000 years ago so you don't
know" but it is quite another to say "that definitely didn't happen 2000
years ago and anyone who believes it is delusional".

Have you looked at the evidence? Specifically --your Bible--?

Ironic, but those who accuse us of being delusional are exactly the ones who
are delusional.

When we're the ones with the evidence and you aren't?
## Seeking to know is only too often learning to doubt.
