God is a myth?! Billions of people down through the ages disagree with you. Perhaps you should change your ways and repent; God will forgive you and not punish you eternally. If you continue on your present course, you will have to explain to God--in person someday--why you blasphemed Him and His ways.

Billions of people also thought disease was brought about by 'ill humours' and bad smells, so I guess 'aerospacemajor' carries a posey around with him when going to and from his regular leeching and cupping appointments, yes?
I hate to break it to you, but more Humans throughout history didn't believe in your god than those who did. Regardless, the truth is not a popularity contest. It is what it is no matter if uneducated peasants or brainwashed fundies can see that or not.
Very few logical fallacies annoy me more than appeals to numbers. 50,000,000 Elvis fans can be wrong, dumbass.
God: "WHY DID YOU NOT FOLLOW ME?"
Many people thought the Plague was God's retribution. They crawled to the church on their knees to beg mercy. It didn't work. They thought the same thing about lightning. It didn't work. Today, we can cure the plague with a few dollars worth of antibiotics and stop lightning with a copper rod on the roof. God has never rewarded blind, stupid faith - He rewards knowledge. Unfortunately, knowledge is a lot harder to acquire than blind, stupid faith, so it's no surprise that the uneducated want to believe they can take a shortcut and just say "I accept Jesus" instead of actually going to school and learning things.
That's the strange part about being an Engineer; about half are rather secular, rational types, and the other half are fundies, screaming about how "gawd!" made the world so wonderful. Whoa.
"Zeus is a myth?! Millions of Greeks down through the ages disagree with you. Perhaps you should change your ways and repent; Zeus will forgive you and not punish you eternally. If you continue on your present course, you will have to explain to Zeus--in person someday--why you blasphemed Him and His ways, and he will strike you with a lightning bolt."
And many people down through the ages have also believed in unicorns, elves, faeries, dragons, sea monsters, satyrs and fawns, dwarves, leprechauns, demons, witches, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, talking animals, etc. etc. etc. Just add your things to the list and we can move on.
Ahh, the old, "50,000 elvis fans can't be wrong" argument.

Oh wait, an award name just popped into my head!
I've always loved the fundie notion that god would punish me eternally for the crime of ignoring him for the 70 or 80 years I'm alive on this rock.
Billion of people?, oh yes, I forgot that Muslims, Catholics and people who don´t agree with you are not saved anyway, so, sincere Christian, don´t expect much company in Heaven.
And YOU will have to explain to the Pillsbury Doughboy, in person someday, why you aren't eating his cookies.Man Called True wins an internet.
"God is a myth?!"
"Billions of people down through the ages disagree with you."
"God will(...)not punish you eternally."
"If you continue on your present course, you will have to explain to God--in person someday--why you blasphemed Him and His ways."
Billions of people down through the ages disagree with you.
And with each other, come to think of it.
"Billions of people down through the ages?"
You mean like Billions of people down through the ages who also believed the earth is flat?
Wait, thanks to this site, I know there are large numbers of people who still actually believe that, so nevermind....
"If you continue on your present course, you will have to explain to God--in person someday--why you blasphemed Him and His ways."
I would tell him that he is an asshole who kills innocent people and that I'd be glad to meet the guy who tried to overthrow him!
so humanity cannot change its ideas at any point in time? we must act like the very first humans did, because there is more past generations than us?
Billions of flies can't be wrong either, then; eat shit!
Billions of other people have disregarded your god and believed in their own instead. Perhaps you should change YOUR way and repent to their gods?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
