Atheists and their jargon of insults

[TagliatelliMonster]

If you can't see it you also can't feel, hear, or otherwise sense it

Well, that certainly is obviously false.
So obvious that I even wonder how you can say that with a straight face.

Dang it, and I thought that I was going to win big with a blind boxer that could not feel the punches hitting him. All he would have to do is to flail his arms around and sooner or later he would land a knockout blow. Meanwhile the other poor fighter would be just wearing himself out. Even though most of his punches would land they would have no effect since our blind champion would be impervious to the blows that he could not feel.

Well, that certainly is obviously false.

Yet this is exactly what every experiment shows.

People just want to pick and choose which experiments apply while in reality every experiment applies all the time just like everything in reality affects everything else in reality forever and ever.

Reality is a bear. It is not only infinitely complex but people want to believe only little bits and pieces of reductionistic science. They want to believe that by inventing categories and taxonomies that everything is known. They want to believe not only that they can see reality directly but they see all of it at once.

All these things they want to believe makes all of reality invisible if you have enough belief to plaster over your entire field of vision

Homo omnisciencis, indeed!

Perhaps you are not phrasing yourself properly because as you wrote that your claims are pure BS.

Let's not shatter this moment of consensus.

Did you eat a specific species of mushrooms before doing the experiment?

Here's an experiment for you. Close your eyes and have someone land a blow with a hammer on your little toe. See if you feel it.

Your mind works in mysterious ways

"Magic", they say.
They say "miracles", "supernatural", etc etc etc ... they even say "spaghettis" and in their minds is an insult. So they are.

What is really "miracle" or "magic" or "supernatural" in an atheist mind?
IMHO, they are just things they cann't explain with their current personal knowledge ... and there is soooo much happening in the world right now that most people cann't explain, that I would say miracles are happening all the time and atheists cann't negate it. Insulting is the way their brains deal with it.

Hey hey! i don't think they are insults, but surely they make them sound like one.
I'm an Atheist, so "Lack of Theism" and i believe all that there is in existence is of Natural origin, so a SuperNatural thing would be something "above" or "beyond" nature, from this point of view i'm sure you see how i would fit Supernatural and Magic in the same box.

As for Miracle: A while ago i heard of a gunfight, a few people died, but one person that was shot in the head survived, and while a religious person might think of this as a Miracle, but i don't think we require divine intervention to not die of a bullet, even in the head, the human body is quite resilient, and depending on what the bullet pierced, survival is not out of the question, i have no doubt that this person will have to do a lot of rehabilitation, and maybe never recover completely, but surely will feel Lucky (Though i don't like the term either )

Cheers!

Well just provide evidence for your claims then. Then it wouldn't be magic.

Some religious people make very well out of their religion. As an atheist myself I find some Christians to be very caring, understanding and wise. The religion itself has some lesson worthy things amidst a whole bunch of harmful nonsense.

The thing about atheists is that they have a strong motivation to see things as they are and not as one would imagine things to be.

Aggressive fundamentalism exists. And theocracy is not at all desirable. The main thing is gods are only found in the minds of believers. So living by the rule of someone's imagination without verification is a threat to civilization.

I myself cannot blanket all religions as fundamentalism. However my experience of religion has been limited to the dominance of Abrahamic religio Even non believers like Trump wield God as a way to gain power and influence.

I'm even a religious atheist.

I have never considered Trump a believer in any religion. He is not an educated man. IMO...However, he has exceeded my expectations when it comes to politics. He does command attention.

He wears the hat when it suits him. He is the most corrupt president we've ever had. I couldn't care less about his commands other than he must be defeated.

 

[Stonetree]

@osgart....By 'commands attention,' I'm saying he has received more free publicity from the news media than any recent politician.....
I want to see him defeated in the voting booth and courtrooms.

Unfortunately that is why the media likes him. Even though he is bad for the country he is good for them because he increases ratings. Have you noticed the unevenness of their reporting lately?

Hmm, maybe you could run random phrases through the Urban Dictionary. I haven't done that myself, but I have been surprised by some of the phrases thathad additional meanings..

That sounds like work.
This thread offered the potential of low hanging fruit.

 

[PureX]

Hmmm ... a "jargon of insults".

If that's not a thing, it should be.

Well, I contributed to the forum with a topic with 20,000 views in three months...
You, on the other hand, seem to want to sabotage that achievement.

No sabotage.
Your thread proceeds without a hitch.
