I didn't. Not in this thread. Find the quote...
There's that short memory again!
Just for the record... McWay didn't read my post correctly, if I could vote in the American elections I'd vote for Barack Obama (my fellow atheist).
I'd prefer to vote for Ralph Nader, but he isn't a viable candidate in the US because the mean IQ has drifted so far from the average.

In Obama's case, he was raised a secularist and remained one till he decided to run for public office... even then he chose the specific congregation that would afford him the most access to the movers and shakers in the Chicago black community.
Being raised secularist doesn't mean squat. As Loco has just shown you, there are plenty of people, some who were professed atheists, who became Christians in their adult lives. Plus, you STILL haven't demonstrated that Obama DOES NOT believe in God.
There are NO religious intellectuals in the science fields, where a profession of faith is not required... that should tell us something. There are no Kim Jong-Il worshipping intellectuals outside of North Korea either.
Wrong again! I've listed some of them earlier. But, just as a refresher: Dr. Ben Carson, Dr. Duane Gish, Dr. Robin Crossman, Dr. Kurt Wise, just ot name a few.
I didn't in that statement... but neither did I ever claim the one reason I gave was the one and only reason I had... you falsely attributed that statement to me, just as you also falsely claimed that I wanted to vote for Ron Paul.
I don't think so. I specifically stated that the lone reason you gave to Deicide for being reluctant to support Paul was his economic policies. And, I quote YOUR VERY OWN WORDS to make that point. Plus, you still miss the fact that, BY YOUR OWN WORDS, Paul shouldn't even be in consideration, because of his Christian beliefs. By your standards, he's "divorced from reality", a "moron", and he "shouldn't be considered for public office".
You've had plenty of opportunity to voice your objections to Paul, based on his religious beliefs. Guess what!!! YOU DID NOTHING OF THE SORT!!!
Doesn't deliberately misquoting someone in order to falsely accuse them of being a liar constitute "bearing false witness"?
I didn't misquote you, so please stop crying and making that accusation, every time you fall short in backing up your statements. I cited your words, exactly and I've done it more than once.
...Professing yourself a Christian doesn't make you one.
Similarly, neither have performed any actions that would by definition make them atheists either... so we don't know.
That's why we have this crazy thing called
BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. If you don't know, stop making STUPID STATEMENTS, such as the one you made earlier about Obama being "my fellow atheist".
You contend that even those of distinctly un-Christian conduct can still be Christians (referring to my statements regarding Putin and Pope Benedict)... but this doesn't hold true.
And this is where religious people show themselves to be divorced from reality...
Ted Haggard professes himself to be a heterosexual Christian... but secretly he loves the cock.
He gets caught.
To his deluded congregation of religious simpletons he still is a heterosexual Christian.... just a heterosexual Christian who has "sinned".
George Bush figures Vladimir Putin (ex-KGB dirty works operative) is a good man because he wore a crucifix lapel pin. I have a tshirt that says "FBI: Federal Breast Inspector".
George Bush claims to be a born-again Christian, so the delude masses vote him president... then he carpet bombs civilians. Stalin also bombed civilians, should we believe he was a the "decent, simple man" he claimed to be?
Do you see where this is going?
Yep, it's going to be your feet down your gullet.....AGAIN. The issue wasn't whether or not they were Christians. It was whether or not, per your claims, they were atheists (i.e. they DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD or any other supernatural deity).
Intellectuals don't believe in the literal truth of folklore... they certainly don't take one particular folktale literally as a basic tenet of their character while dismissing all other fairytales.
Tell that to Jay Sekulow, the late D. James Kennedy, and the others listed earlier.
But would an ambitious politician fake such piety in order to win elections?
The Luke
Maybe, maybe not. The problem is YOU HAVE NOTHING that shows that such is the case. And, you've been asked to produce such on multiple occasions. Instead, you opt to whine, bleat, moan, and make pitiful accusations.
