Default Re: Interesting religious occurrence today, thoughts?

Apparently an atheist tends to be also be a sarcastic prick.

OP: The girl is religious, so I'd guess she tends to give God a lot of credit for her subconscious & intuition. We all have moments where we can sense something. Sometimes we're right & seem clairvoyant & sometimes not. I'd imagine when your friend is wrong, she forgets it. When she's right, it's God.

When I call my Mom, she occasionally says I knew it was you calling (she doesn't have caller ID) & she claims it's her mother's instinct. However whenever her phones rings she assumes it's me calling. When it's not me, she forgets it. When it is me, it reinforces her belief. She knows this & it's just something she says makes her feel good. Maybe your friend is less aware of her thought process.

Do you think the only people responding sarcastically in this thread are atheists? Or does being a theist make you a judgmental prick?

No, obviously sarcasm isn't something that atheists have a monopoly on. I'm not sure how to go about answering the second question. You call me a theist (huh? cuz I answered him sincerely?), then a judgemental prick (that's a first). I apologize, but I don't see the point in answering this guy's question (& pretty much every genuine question I've seen in this forum) with a snide answer. Using snide & not-as-clever-as-you-think remarks to turn every thread into a flame war the only way to get your point across? If decency & sincerity isn't something religion deserves credit for, so why not showcase that?
