JOB DONE

 We've had a bit of fun with Robert on the posts over the last two days.

The Religious Curmudgeon wrote a post  titled 'WILL THE CATHOLICS HAVE A NEW SAINT SOON?' HERE fully expecting a bit of a reaction and boy, did we get one - 27 comments which must be a record for the Religious Curmudgeon just exceeding the number of comments on the March 2018 post titled 'ANYONE WHO WENT TO ST PATRICK'S COLLEGE AND STILL THINKS THAT HE'S A CHRISTIAN IS A BIT WEIRD.' HERE. I imagine that this could only be surpassed by a post titled something like 'SAINT FAUSTINA AND JESUS CAUGHT IN A MENAGE A TROIS WITH MARY MAGDALENE'. Hey! That gives me an idea .....

Anyway, in this latest post Robert got the comments rolling with the first comment:

As you can surmise this set a challenge for me and Richard in asking Robert for an example of one of these 'multiple proofs'. What we received was some cut and paste mumbo jumbo about faith and believing and 'just shut up because we catholics know better' kind of stuff. Continuous requests for at least one simple proof were followed by fatuous answers and of course this pushed the number of comments up.*

We kept putting pressure on Robert for any sensible answer and got this:

It's a real doozy and, to me, the most telling thing in it is the opening statement: "Belief in God , we must remember is the "default" setting." It's that old Catholic stand by kind of like "I know I'm right so I won't argue". How do you argue with that?

How indeed?  Robert soon grew even more frustrated and signed off his comments with:

 Job done.

* Much to Richard (of Richard's Bass Bag's chagrin as he equates the number of comments with blog popularity. He even writes multiple comments himself to build up the numbers.

******************** UPDATE *********************

Just after I posted this I saw that Robert came back and posted a new comment on The Religious Curmudgeon's post - 28 comments now!

This was in response to our questions to him as to why his god can't communicate directly and simply with humans instead of using 2000 year old texts, burning bushes, visions via religious nutters and arcane images in the clouds, on potatoes and on tea towels for example. They were really simple questions and Richard asked a contemporary one along the lines of why couldn't his god create a miracle and save the women and children in Ukraine from being blown to bits.

Robert's answer, another question really is as silly and mealy-mouthed as we'd expect. We go around in circles with this guy. When pushed he has to admit that this all-powerful, all-seeing, all-doing and supreme being is really just invisible and probably not there. He/she/it apparently can't do anything. In being asked for another way of proving that god 'is' I'd just say - stop that fucking Ukraine war. That'd be a start.
