Arrogance is blinding you, my friend.
The difference between us and you is that we can see things from your side, but we just choose to take our own side. We take no arrogant stand. You, on the other hand, cannot even SEE what our side has to offer. You do take an arrogant stance.
Evidence? here:

I not really intrested in pointing out the fallacies in your reply so I will leave that up to Wilhem or someone else that knows what their talking about
I haven't really discussed my side that much so you tell me what is my side again? In fear that you might get it wrong .. I'll tell you now.. I have no religion which I advocate therefore I do not have an agenda to push. When you have no religion your common sense and reasoning process is not tainted by faith. Now it might sound that I'm on some high horse dishing out these words but you will have to understand I am not out there to prove somebody wrong.. The only thing I push is knowledge and that fact all mystries in this universe, we as humans do not have to be scared of these things as fear only breeds lies and misinformation. As long as members of the human race choose to fear the unknown there will continue to be religion and the uninformed, uneducated fanatics that come with it.

It's not that you aren't interested, it's that you are unable to do so. You're just using that as an excuse. If you REALLY wanted to point out those "fallacies," you'd be more than willing to.
Nah it's just that I've become disintrested in repeating myself since I have already discussed the err in logic many a times to deaf ears.

You also fail to realize that you make TONS of grammatical errors in your sentences, MUCH worse than what kellimus did. Again, this shows how blind you are.
So sad I have to actually have to point this out to you but here it goes.. It doesn't matter how many grammatical errors I make since I am not the one resorting to personal attacks telling them that drugs have messed with their head. The blind resort to personal attacks when they have nothing else to pull their weight.
QUOTE
You fail to realize that EVERYONE handles their belief systems as lunch buffets. You fail to realize that these type of people include yourself.
My belief system is not something that I just threw together.. It involves much thought and it is not closed to reason. If you have a valid argument with facts and evidence to backup your claim, my ears are yours. Those with certain belief system cannot however offer the same open mindness since that would crumble their God and all that goes with it if they were to accept it. When certain belief systems involve your salvation and proclaim certain death and suffering, this only complicates the situation.

You also fail to realize that what you said was wrong and not true. Yes demons can manifest in people, but when priests drive the demons out, they use GOD to do so, not their own magical powers. ANYone can drive devils out; they just have to be spiritually strong with God, which is easy for anyone to do. Normally, priests are the ones brave enough to take these tasks. And honestly, I dont think you even know what exorcism is. Exorcism is where priest (or whoever) pray very hard to God asking him to drive the devil out. Way to go, Mr. expert-on-exorcism.
I was expecially careful discribing this process since the religious cats love to pounce on you if somehow suggest power is in man. The funny thing is I said it correctly but you somehow managed to twist my words when you were reading it to sound as if I was suggesting power was in man, froming this into a personal attack on the "expert-on-exorcism".
My words:
QUOTE
Someone who wants to believe in exorcisms believes that spirts or demons manifest can themselves in people and that God has given priests the power to clense them. .... Anyone who claims that they posses spiritual energy not through this Christian God granting such is blasphemous and is of the devil (as the religion states).
You will see I specifically stated that "God has given priests the power" and if you want to get technical.. priests call on God while preforming this ceremony and ask for God to rid this person of evil demons. I even said (see bold) that anyone that claims personal power is blasphemous and of the devil...which was relating to the conflicting ideologies which Kellimus believes in.
I seriously believe you must read my words through some type of kaleidoscope!? How could you possibly twist what I wrote there to say the exact opposite of what you just said .. even though in reality I said excatly the same thing you just did. You ask me why I refraign from responding to your replies... here is a perfect example. You can't read properly.
QUOTE
This TRULY proves how arrogant, narcistic, and blind you are. You think you are a perfect man with perfect beliefs and that we "inferior" people have holes in ours when you fail to realize that there a little thing called "opinions." Yes, everything we say are opinions, but you on the otherhand, are turning your opinions into facts, as proved by the quotes i just quoted.
You learned a new word today.. "narcissistic". When somebody asks you if you learned anything from this thread you can tell them you infact you have and you wouldn't be lying!! Damn.. I guess this wasn't all in vain!
"And as kellimus said..."

You can't smell sunshine. Coffee maybe?
