Why are Atheists on Religiousforums?

[Quintessence]

The real joke here is that there is not a single person posting here who is not an atheist when it comes to a whole passel of deities.

You sure about that?

Hi, by the way. I exist. Just reminding you. Right here. Breathing. Posting on the forums. 'Sup.

For the time being, atheists will be content with continuing to hint or imply that theists are sadly mentally deficient and otherwise insulting our intelligence.

I require honesty out of those I debate. And you cannot substantiate that claim!

I have many theist friends, and many have the same or better grip on history then I do. I stated this once and I will say it again due to your factually unsubstantiated comments.


Theism or atheism, this is a matter of religious education, and those that refuse it or do not possess it. We are pretty much a family here and have been posting for years with each other.

LOL You are claiming that there are no deities you don't believe in?

 

[psychoslice]

No, but Chocolatism most definitely is! I worship Chocolate!!! Yay!

Hey, now that's something I could worship lol.

To annoy religionists?
To become religionists?

To express their opinions about religion. To share their wisdom with others. To enjoy debate with others with a different perspective. Do you really think that atheists come on here to annoy those with a religious bent? I hope not.

Cheer up Atheists, i love you all just like i love toothache. Without you it would be boring on RF.

I was just banned a few hours ago from an atheist forum. I don't believe in a god, but I certainly don't believe in that atheism stuff also, I left with a good fight lol.

There is no theist logic and atheist logic.

There is just logic.

Not actually, there are 7 billion different logics. Everyone's reasoning power is different. Something which is quite logical for me, would be just the opposite for you. If it was the same for everyone, we all would be theists or nuetral or atheists.

Well we are all theist or atheist, you are either a theist or not (atheist).

Is it really that hard to be nice, servant?

I don't think it's a question of being rude or not nice, I think it's more about fear as it relates to the possibility that they may be wrong. Iow, that there is no God and religion is the opioid of the masses. To imagine that we really are food for worms would shatter their thoughts. Or vice versa, that there is a god and the atheist POV is wrong.

I think its just a language thing. She explained neutral before as something akin to agnostic.

I'd self describe as agnostic atheist myself, and understand exactly what you mean, mate, but to my mind her point holds. We all have subjective realities.

No there are not 7 billion different logics. There is one logic and 6,999,999,999 people who only think they are logical.

To take a common example the statement:

"we do not know how life first emerged on this planet, therefore it is logical to say that god made it" may be logical to those who do not understand logic.

However to those who do understand the proper application of logic, this is logically fallacious as ones inability to understand how something happens does not mean that another theory is immediately accepted as truth. This other theory must stand on its own evidence.

An easy way to tell if you are committing this logical fallacy is if you can replace the word "God" with "Britney Spears" and it is still internally consistent, than your logic is faulty.

Another common example is:

"To think that we all evolved form single celled organisms is ridiculous, therefore it is untrue" may also be logical to some people.

However ones view of something as ridiculous does not mean it is wrong.

On the flip, side the phrase:

"God has not been proven, therefore god does not exist" is logically fallacious.

In this case, the lack of evidence for the existence of god does not mean there is none.

I am sure you will disagree and i will be happy to expand on any of these points if you like.

Lets pour some gasoline on this topic

I have some generalizations about atheists people.

* They usually cannot tolerate different opinions, you have to be agree with them.
* They usually and easily gets agry if you continue to defend your idea tightly.
* They usually starts to use rude-abusive words in the later minutes of a heated debate.
* They usually starts to personal attacks in the later minutes of a heated debate.
* If they gain enough power, they do not even hesitate to destroy religious people.
* They usually are so confused and unstable persons.
* They usually underestimate theist people.



Ofcourse not all atheists are terrorists but all terrorists.......... ops sorry I think I use a wrong idiom, anyway

Nice little list.
Please be so kind as to show how it does not equally apply to theists?

Take your time.
And good luck.

* They usually love to criticize others but cannot tolerate to be critized by others.

Again, you have just described many theists on this very forum.

Though I do find it most comical you do not even try to show how your list does not equally apply to theists.

Just because you may see, or rather, deduce something through the use of logic, does not change the empirical defintion of what logic is or how is it used, in the most generic sense of the word. One weighs two options and then, based on the understanding of same and one's experiences, one picks whichever option is the best suited for them,

Is this why you said I bore you and you would no longer be responding to me or my thoughts on matters? See how this works.

Make you a deal. You pick one, and I'll refute that first.

 

[Kirran]

They certainly are generalisations. Many of these points also apply to members of other belief systems. Here are some others: Muslims are, as a generalisation, prone to ignoring points they don't want to argue. Christians are prone to not understanding that other people really do believe something very different to them.

But no generalisations are anywhere near universal, and are therefore rather fallacious.
