…I would guess that for most doubters, they are trying to conceptualise God. But God is not a concept of the human mind.Dave, Wrexham

What an annoying ****. This is an example of some common theist tactics – they smile serenely and explain that the concept you are asking questions about is beyond your understanding as you are a mere mortal, so you should just be quiet and be glad God is doing all the hard thinking for you.

It is bad enough saying this to five year-olds at Sunday school, but to try it on a newspaper comment post is amazing.

It pains me that even after reading this article, some people will still comment that ‘it is about time that all intelligent people started speaking out’ against faith. His point is that some intelligent people DO believe. It’s impossible to explain why, and perhaps it sounds strange to one raised on science and taught it as fact. But the fact is that in a couple of centuries much of our modern day science will be out of date and considered foolish, whereas the chances are that faith will live on greatly unchanged. Meg, Pembs

Amazing, isn’t it. Thank Zeus we have a two thousand year old system which was refuses to change as we learn more about the universe. It must be great living in the past.
