Me again
I generally do not follow these trails but something about your response is just compelling me to answer.
You just proved my original point about your info/opinion ratio over and over again. You have a bad habit of taking half a fact and making a whole sweeping conclusion out of it and I consider that very dangerous behaviour whether you are Christian, humanist, atheist or whatever.
Example Bible = propaganda material
Yes it has been used as that in different places at different times however, if you are a humanist and humanistic material is often used as propaganda then you = propagandist? Or more accurately humanistic ideas = propaganda?
You said "I don't believe" that made me laugh till my sides hurt. You believe in a great many things that you can not empirically prove. If you are arrogant enough to "believe" that is not true you are not very intellectually honest.
Finally your conclusion that I believe in God therefore I am irrational is not an honest conclusion or a question but a crude playground put-down not a serious dialog where learning is possible. So how would you like me to answer that? Yes I know where you are coming from and I have been there and changed. If you are really curious why, I wonder what you think you will learn from a question like that.

Just a thought.
