--almost like life happens whatever you believe...

All the crazy can exist more or less unexamined in the religious life e.g. you're a Mormon long before you seriously consider what that even means...

What about me? I am a militant theist. Seriously.

I know that God exists. Want proof? Here's proof.

If you need more proof, just say so. I shall post links to pop songs by Depeche Mode.

Every atheist is a fundamentalist.
Rationalia relies on voluntary donations. There is no obligation of course, but if you value this place and want to see it continue please consider making a small donation towards the forum's running costs.
Details on how to do that can be found here.

I don't. I hate religions. Some less so than others.
