Buddy/Spurs: Here's what's wrong with that statement.....HE IS TELLING ME TO DISPROVE SOMETHING HE HASN'T A SHRED OF EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT! That's what's "wrong" with that statement. The burden of proof is on the believer.
Indeed, I am a believer in humanity. I'm sorry that you find humanity laughable, I think it is wonderful. Life is precious and I believe it needs to be lived as such....unlike my religious friends that believe this is just a stopping point on their way to a "better" place. That ignorant logic can cause people to do some really stupid things: Kill themselves, kill others, etc. If you appreciate this life and understand you only get one shot, you'll understand my message.
As for the nonsense about which mortal I choose to appear in times of trouble? That's easy. Friends and family. They will appear because I treated them well and they WANT to help me. You can look to Jesus for help, I choose friends and family.
