You should know best, it's part of your religion and if you don't know, then why you doing it anyways ... ?

Veteranpunter from your post we all see you dont believe in God and respect your view
Will check out the book you talking about...
You seem angry and agitated in your post maybe when you see religious posts dont read them rather scroll past
Would be interesting to know if you were born a non believer or did you become one and at what age [QUOTE]
Nickey, I've been here since 2001 on ESA. The last time I booked you was back in about 2003. (we still sat in the kitchen afterwards talking about Bulls player Geo Cronje's controversy). And the last time saw you was you and your friend "M" sellling cosmetics at the parking entrance at Sunnyside Mall in Pretoria.
Nevertheless, to answer you, can you guess my upbringing in Pretoria in the 80's Transvaal? :-)
I started questioning using simple logic, and spend a couple of years studying comparative religions in detail, which led me to the conclusion that its all man made shit and there ain't a magical sky daddy watching you every move.
"If we compare religions we find dozens of contradictions between them. That means religions MUST be false. No religion has ever been conclusively shown to be true and no god has ever been conclusively shown to exist. So, ALL gods and ALL religions are fiction and a product of man's imagination."
To be truly free, you have to let go of all silly superstitions and fictional beliefs.

Facts are neither opinion nor derogatory.

true ...
opinions are like assholes ...everybody has one lol !!!
Some people may not be exposed to same "facts" as oneself but, that is where debate comes in as does philosophizing.
Facts exposed to, do give rise to opinions...?... which some may find derogatory and thus RR opting to shut u down because he/she found it out of line?
It is good to not shut down avenues of communication, keeping it above the belt, playing the ball and not the person.
Carry on sharing VeteranPunter....may not be everybody's cup of tea .
