Interesting site. Hiroshima/Nagasaki. Another testament to the mind numbing hubris and idiocy of humans in general. People suck.

Utterly retarded. This is a great example of "I can't explain it, therefore 'God'
did it". Here is some data showing that it's not only believers whom can
survive close proximity to Atom Bomb detonation relatively unharmed:

TITLE: CHARACTERISTICS OF ABNORMALITIES OBSERVED IN ATOM-BOMB SURVIVORS
and here is a fun little quote that you don't want to miss:
And this one:
Can't understand why. Get over it already. It was just an atomic bomb that detonated over your head, killed all your relatives, and wiped out everything you knew since childhood. Quit your whining.

That site gives the interview of a priest who survived the blast and his description of the horror during and after the bomb was dropped. Did you even read the completed text version of the interview with Father John Siemes? There are countless other such survival stories Lawdog. The fact that he was a priest does not make him any more special than the other survivors.

Nice. So you believe that all those saved believed in the " One True God" you believe in? What about all the others who were "saved" or more correctly, survived, who do not believe in your version of the "One True God"? Nice to see they don't get a mention in that article. But then again that would put a dampener on the notion of a 'miracle' now wouldn't it? Mentioning the other survivors of other faiths and beliefs would only portray that that the believers of the "One True God" were merely survivors like everyone else.
Atomic Jesuit? You make it sound like he glows in the dark like some comic book figure...

Lawdog:
There are about 3000 living survivors of Hiroshima, including a man 550 meters from ground zero (300 or so meters closer than your Catholic). Most of whom, I would gamble, are not Christian. One survivor (now dead) was a Catholic. BTW, he only lived to 63 years old which is rather young these days. I would also gamble that a proper autopsy would have indicated radiation caused illness was the cause of death.
I'm not sure I see your point.

To question your beliefs.
I don't have any beliefs because I don't need to believe. It is a major fundamental difference between you, theists and me.
This self starts to sound pretty much like God, doesn't it?
YOUR version of the self and YOUR version of god sound the same. However, it does not sound like anything I've ever heard before.

"I don't have any beliefs"...that's funny...are you alive?
Certainly you must believe that if you type on your keyboard and then press enter that you will make a post. There, that's something to start with. Do you believe that your mom is really who she says she is? What about gravity...or would you be so inclined as to take a running leap off of a 50 story building?

Yorda: nothing can ever be proven, you can only make things sound rational. besides, you don't have to prove selfevident things like your own existence.

These are not 'beliefs' in the context that Q was probably getting at.
Everytime I push the 'f' button, an 'f' appears on the screen.. Look: ffffffffffff
The last 300,000 'f' presses have all resulted in an 'f' being displayed on the screen. The same goes for every other key. Whenever I press the 'post quick reply' button, whatever I have typed in this box ends up on the forum. It is backed up by so much undeniable evidence that only a fool would think it would do otherwise.
It will most likely eventually break - and thus I will have to buy a new keyboard, but again the evidence would suggest that the next keyboard will do exactly the same as this one does.
The same is true of your other examples, but not for things like fairies, mermaids, gods and demons which have no evidence and no good reason to believe they are anything other than the creation of men.
