    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    3 straw men do not a rational argument make. I see by your profile, that you’ve been on this forum for about 12 years, with closing in on 13,000 posts. Can you honestly say you’ve never witnessed a theist ask if someone could “prove” that a god doesn’t exist? Or witnessed a theist proclaim that...

    Learn how to diferenciate between MYTH and LEGEND

    That’s good advice…… Perhaps you should heed it?

    Learn how to diferenciate between MYTH and LEGEND

    Did you know you’re pulling that straight out of the ol’ wazoo? Once again, cite your source. Let me show you how it’s done. The Genesis creation narrative is the creation myth of both Judaism and Christianity. The narrative is made up of two stories, roughly equivalent to the first two...

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    You appear to have a reading comprehension difficulty. If someone gives you an example for you to compare one mythical story you accept as mythical, to ones you don’t recognize as mythical, so that you might be enlightened to the fact that they share the same qualities and are thus mythical...

    What religion would you convert to if you were forced to convert to a religion?

    This is an interesting question. The only scenario I can imagine of being “forced to convert to a religion”, would be where I would be forced to take on the appearance of having converted to the satisfaction of those that would be forcing me. (a la Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four) I...

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    And the list goes on and on….. There is one bright note though. They (secular legal authorities) managed to sentence a Catholic priest to life in prison. Check out this article from USA TODAY: Catholic priest sentenced to life for sex trafficking boys, manipulating opioid addictions...

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    And of that death toll for WWll…. tell me again how many were shipped off and exterminated in places like Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka? Was it 6,000,000 if memory serves? Oh, and what did they have in common? Can you seriously say there wasn’t a religious element to this? You might want to...

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    “Science” shut down mass transit in order for “science” to sell more oil, tires and cars.? That’s an “interesting” take!:oops: Where exactly to you get your information? I seem to recall something in the news recently about something going on in the middle east…. Hmmm, I can’t quite put my...

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    Ahh, The question is who is making him out to be? My understanding of the term “hard atheist”, is someone who makes the claim “no gods exist”, exemplifying certainty. Is this the same context you are using? Since he wrote in his book, that he is a 6 on a scale of 7 (7 meaning absolutely...

    What convinced you that Evolution is the truth?

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    With the risk of appearing pedantic….. This does not preclude him from being an atheist (which he is). Agnostic concerns knowledge- he is honest in admitting he has no means of knowing. Atheist concerns belief- he wrote a book explaining on a scale of 1 to 7 with 1 being absolutely convinced...

    Atheists: What qualities should a god have?

    Here is where we differ. I see the Earth as ….the Earth death as ….the cessation of a life night as….the period of time spent in the shadow away from the sun. I tend to accept things for what they are. I don’t see a need to add a “godly” quality to it. Here I think may be the crux of it...

    Have you ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect?

    Atheists and their jargon of insults

    It appears you are saying that because something uncommon that you weren’t aware of previously came to your attention and you were impressed by it….. that makes it supernatural? That appears to be a stunningly low bar. Did these persons with photographic memory not have them naturally? Do all...

    Learn how to diferenciate between MYTH and LEGEND

    I did some homework (admittedly it didn’t take much) and I showed my work. Will you not show yours? Or at least link us to it so that we may determine if perhaps it was misconstrued or ill perceived? I fear this is precipitously close to a idiom I once heard about a pot and a kettle!

    Atheists: What qualities should a god have?

    Let me assuage you impression; I wasn’t expecting a “gotcha” nor did I think you were trying to trick anyone. I took you at your word that weren’t going to challenge people on their views. Nor did I challenge you on your views. You suggested that you had seen some threads recently asking...

    Atheists: What qualities should a god have?

    I find it amusing when people question atheists about what they will accept as a god, don’t want to define what they accept as a god. I am an atheist because I have been presented with a multitude of definitions of “god”; from“the alfa and the omega”, to “the creator of the universe and...

    Do honest politicians exist?

    Of course it’s possible. Unfortunately it’s extremely improbable that they would be successful at it beyond a community level. Once it becomes a profession, the necessity to raise enough money to successfully convince enough voters to make a successful campaign requires a certain amount of...
