Detriment: I know nothing of terrazoids real life so I'll only comment on what I've seen in this thread. From his first post here he has been put down, argued with and subjected to ridicule. All of it deserved. This single thread will most likely taint any future activity on this forum. I'd say that's to his detriment.
Great that this threads had such an effect.... Oh God... Let this be the thread of threads!!

Nope sorry, that's not the way reality works. If you make the claim, it is up to you to prove it.

I'd be annoyed if I hadn't run into this claim so many times it's just amusing. It's so *cute* when total strangers think they know what is and isn't part of my life, and judge my relationships lacking because they can't comprehend how different deities could bring happiness to their followers.

I'm not just talking about love for a person either. Your focus is yourself and you only take action based on what thats going to get you. When a person loves, and maybe you've really experienced this, they love DESPITE themselves. There is a distinction there and I hope you find it.
Did you know that God is a girl and Her name is Eris?

Hey I didn't say i knew anything about your life I'm just going with how you described it. Oh yeah and I've got some news for you. God isn't a girl and his name does not happen to be Eris. You seem to be fundamentally confused on this point.

Seriously answer the point. Have you known real love for something? If so how do you reconcile it with your idea that you'll only act in self interest. Sounds like a pretty selfish kind of love if you ask me.

Actually thats an interesting point... all too often today people tend to view lovers as interchangeable and commodities. If dissatisfied with this lover why not just change for a new one that suits you better. This isn't real love.

You claimed that a specific god exists. You were not the first person to make the claim, but you did make it.

It's not just a few of them... in some places it's most of them.

And they don't have any evidence to support their claims, just like you. And many of them dishonestly misrepresent their beliefs as facts, just like you.

You have not provided any evidence that a "soul" exists.
