Seditious admitted no such thing. He said he doesn't "want your terrible magic sky daddy" to exist — James Riley
Do I hope that your terrible magic sky daddy doesn't exist? Obviously — Seditious
One such slander is that atheists are all secret believers. Another is that they are Communists (very popular in the 1950's). Another is that they are afraid of God and therefore repressed theists, living in denial. Yet another is that they are egomaniacs who don't have room in their lives for someone more powerful than them. That's my favorite one. — Tom Storm
That's a blatant lie. Seditious said exactly what I said he did: — Apollodorus
No, you said "God". He didn't say God. — James Riley
He said "sky daddy". "Sky daddy" is a well-known slang name for God: — Apollodorus
The record speaks for itself and it's says your are a liar. — James Riley
As I said, you need to calm down, you are only aggravating yourself and making your condition worse. — Apollodorus
Aha. Atheism is a condition. It can be treated, much like homosexuality and kleptomania and the common cold.you need to calm down, you are only aggravating yourself and making your condition worse. — Apollodorus
So I propose to you to answer this: Are you in fact ImmanuelCan from the other forum? Yes, or no, it actually is neither here nor there, I'm just curious. — god must be atheist
The record speaks for itself and it's says your are a liar. — James Riley
Not at all. The record doesn't say that. You say that. And we've seen what your statements are worth. As I said, you need to calm down, you are only aggravating yourself and making your condition worse. — Apollodorus
: Anger management does not seem to be popular with the fanatical atheists here! — 3017amen
That's an idea for a new thread: Does atheistic philosophy foster fanaticism, paranoia, and mindless violence? — Apollodorus
Anger management does not seem to be popular with the fanatical atheists here!
— 3017amen
Very true. That's an idea for a new thread: Does atheistic philosophy foster fanaticism, paranoia, and mindless violence? — Apollodorus
Perhaps, but history shows it's you guys with the serious murderous cred. And the capacity to deny every bit of it. — tim wood
Anyway, check out the thread if you want to revisit it... — 3017amen
Soviet Russia murdered more than 20 million and Maoist China more than 60 million of their own people. — Apollodorus
I wouldn't say that's an objective statement. Atheists like Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedong and Pol Pot murdered more millions in one century than Christians did in the whole history of Christianity. — Apollodorus
In your view is there a connection between atheism and mass murder or are mass murderers more likely to be atheists. Or both. Or is there another factor behind this? — Tom Storm
Well, atheism is not a belief system. Further, in a world full of God-based religions, to reject them on principle and reason implies some thinking, which adherents don't do at all. As to sophistication, your usage is a red-herring and a category error, being both irrelevant and not relevant. And yourMost Atheists are very unsophisticated in their thinking when it comes to justifying their belief system. — 3017amen
is straw-man, because atheists don't have a position to defend and to my knowledge, none try.Which goes back to their precarious and untenable position of the Atheist having to defend same (no EOG). They can't. — 3017amen
No. It isn't. Do you "believe" that 2+2=4? Do you "negatively believe" that 2+2=37? There are questions the answers to which, under proper focus, have nothing to do with belief.Atheism is ... a Negative Belief — Anand-Haqq
