No jug of milk can give you unconditional love. Or consolation right on the spot.
These athiests are denying what's in front of their faces, then they decide to make up silly stories of evolution where cows become manatees after spending millions of years in water. It just doesn't make sense to me. Not that I'm trying to bash them, just point out that what they do sometimes boggles my mind.

Nobody explained to you in your homeschooling what a metaphore is. They are not saying that a jug of milk is God. They say that the technique some people use to make them believe in the power of prayer. As God can't be seen or touched, is as if you were asking money to a jug of milk. Then they explain to you that the process is a psychological one. As a Catholic, and free from the notion that God is my buddy and I have a personal relationship with him, I can tell you that there is no beard old man that comes from the sky to give me a tap on my shoulder. What you call unconditinal love(some of your posts make me think that you don't know the meaning of that word)and consolation is a psychological effect. What you're using is hope, relief, but not "evidence". God is not "in front of our faces", because, as you admit, nobody can see him. Let's take, not a jug of milk, but a real religious example. Did you hear about Solomon's ring?. It was a ring which made the happiest man on earth sad and viceversa by writting in it "this too shall pass". The story doesn't say that the ring was magical or was God, or that it gave a tap on the shoulder of the holder. It's just the psychological effect it had on the poor and the rich people by reminding them something that is universally true, which triggered somehow the mechanism to make them feel better or worse. Actually, it's funny that the nuns in my school did something similar, only that this time it was Perez mouse, not a jug of milk.
Ooh, can I play? I know it's been done countless of times, but still...These fundie religionists are denying what's in front of their faces, then they decide to make up silly stories of creation where an invisible thingy instantly thinks everything into existence. It just doesn't make sense to me. Not that I'm trying to bash them, just point out that what they do continuously boggles my mind.
Fixed.
Yes, they make up silly stories... based entirely on evidence and logic.

Its better than silly stories of talking snakes and mules, inhabited fish and impossible floods.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
Nothing that some education cannot resolve.
Not that I'm trying to bash them,
Yes you are, but thank you for denying it.

Science is really mind boggling.
"No jug of milk can give you unconditional love."Captain Obvious saves the day.
These Christians are denying what's in front of their faces, then they decide to believe made-up silly stories of virgin birth and eternal life. It just doesn't make sense to me. Not that I'm trying to bash them, just point out that what they do sometimes boggles my mind.
No god can give you unconditional love. Or consolation right on the spot.
"No jug of milk can give you unconditional love."
- No, but it will do far more for a starving person than prayer ever will.
"No jug of milk can give you unconditional love."
Well, duh - it's not a sentient being.
"Or consolation right on the spot."
Tell that to my body after a good, long run. Especially if I add a bit of chocolate syrup.
Confused?
