So do you really think spirits don't exist? There is a fire that burns in all of us. Things that make us want to do evil and good.
If you think spirits from other realms don't exist that is upto you.. but I think it is fair for others to believe that.

[Rev.Cambeul]

Of course Reverend Logic doesn't think that spirits exist. In fact, she KNOWS that such claptrap is pure childish fantasy. However, we allow people to have their fantasies. Not because we are sensitive to their beliefs. On the contrary: We don't care whom or what we offend, because our goal is not to mollycoddle the masses, but is instead to save those that can be saved from inevitable rape, torture and murder by the inferior mud races.

But there is another side to this. Why should we who are intelligent enough not to believe in spooks in the sky or demons underground have to remain silent when the true believers are so hell-bent on disrupting and destroying the lives of all around them, because their invisible friend demands it? We have a right to live free from the mind-numbing cerebral torture of the gullible and their fantasies, and when the idiots get in our way, we have the right to speak out and act in not only our own defence, but also for the ultimate Intellectual and Physical Salvation of the White Race.

Ivan, (a pest since deleted) "God" is just "Quantity X" even for those who believe in "God" since you can't actually define the phenomenon that is called "God".  If this phenomenon could be defined - described in some clear manner that could be evaluated - it would then be possible to re-name it as ... whatever that thing is...  And this is why we Creators say it is not defined and is only "Quantity X".

How silly is it to believe in something but you don't even know what that something is?
