A miracle is the suspension of natural law. That's not my own definition. It's the standard one. If I were to define it myself I would be re-defining it. Therefore, I will go by the standard. That said, they never happen. They are merely based on wishful thinking.
Right. All based on fiction too.
DG07: just curious about this forum. I'm new here and I'm a little confused about which forums are off limits on debating. Do fill me in on please.
1. A rational thinking person who believes in God? sounds like an oxymoron to me. :yes:
You posted a topic that required a response. Sounds like your intentions were for the purpose of dialog/debate to me. You posted some questions, I responded. Sorry you are unable to handle my responses...

What does religion have to do with being positive about surviving an operation or illness? As an atheist I've gotten over a few illnesses in my life and a god had nothing to do with it. What does a belief in an afterlife have to do with any of this either? if anything, the hear and now is the...
Pleased to meet everyone. A friend of mine told me about this forum so I decided to check it and signed up a lil bit ago. Please be gentle with me, I'm a non-believer. Just kidding. Anyway, I look forward to some healthy, civil dialog in here. Just a brief summary of myself. I'm a former...
