So what would you guys say if a priest told you that God talked to him?

I hate to contribute to the resurrection of this thread, but I feel i have to answer this question:

"Ya know, they used to put you in an asylum if you said that."

I would say "God told me your a liar"

Hit with your own unfalsifiable excuse..... How do priests argue with each other?

Ah, the atheist thread! Those with the common sense to see that god does not exist, against those with the common sense to just go along with what their society/madness tells them to believe!

Not a troll, not some basement-dwelling neckbeard, but indeed a hateful, rude little person. On the internet.
I'm actually quite nice IRL, but you people have to pay the price for that.

Now stop being distracted by the rudeness, quit your accusations of trollery, and start arguing like real men!

And that, children, is a textbook definition of a troll right there. Do not feed it.

Your statement is offensive and baseless, and is callous to the point of deliberate provocation. Hence, you are a troll. And at any rate, religions are valid scientific theories.

Religions are a demonstratable property of the world that can be repeated under labratory conditions?

Au contraire! My statement is factually correct in a vast majority of all cases, and callous only in that it makes no accommodations for the delicate sensibilities of those who live under constant delusion.

Secondly, in response to your last sentence, I shall have to protest most strongly. Religions are merely constructs of make-belief, masturbatory ritual, social pressure, and most of all of a limited understanding of the human mind and the natural world. Am I a troll for speaking these obvious truths frankly and without reservation? Nay, signore! The troll is you! You, who declares religion science! What travesty! What insolence! What an insult to all those great minds of humankind who sacrificed their lifetime on the altar of science true and proper! Placing popes, bishops and theocrats, self-serving, powerhungry and corrupt, onto equal footing with those who so selflessly brought to us medicine, neurology and technology! Oh, what tragedy is this, that the world must bear with such shallow ignorance!

Yes, it is back  :P
I think a new thread would have been justified.

Especially since the OP hasn't been online in over a year.

I'm with Shrugging Khan on this one - that statement nicely summarizes the stance of most atheists, including those who post in this thread.

I redact my earlier statement about religions being scientific theories. However, Shrugging Khan takes an unusually harsh stance on this. I see no way for this to end except a flame war, so I am leaving this thread.

I recall a certain monk using the scientific method and discovering heredity.
