Their whole argument is a joke. The people who dont believe are a joke. Their platform is a joke. All their arguments are always proven wrong. Maybe its time you all become christians and realize your arguments are a joke. They are like a bunch of clowns in a circus.
I wonder how many atheists will respond to this thread by: A: running in raportous injury to the mod team to get this thread deleted as flame bait (even though we Christians get threads like these all the time aimed at us). B: actually demonstrate some of that superior morality and compassion they so often claim, and reach out with reason and compassion and guide jedi through with a reasoned attempt to explain how atheism is merely a different opinion? Maybe attempt to educate rather than reflexively lash out ... tereby proving the premise of the OP correct. Its up to you atheists.
How is reporting a flamebait thread, which clearly is against the rules, "lashing out"? WHY don't YOU denounce this thread as flamebait? Oh right... Because atheists have created "mean" threads too. Why don't you just admit that you don't do what you want us to do? You claim you want a reasonable debate, and yet come in here to defend the unreasonable. That is hypocrisy in it's finest form.
And Jedi, you should be ashamed of yourself. I'm not going to report this thread because I think you know that this isn't meant to start a debate, but rather to rile up the other side. I've seen your posts before and I know that you know better.
I rest my case. When atheist posters like this one above routinely question whether Jesus is a rapist, compare Christians to slavers and murderers, stupidly, the intent is clearly flame bait, but they will defend to their death (well, maybe not that far, there is nothing in this world more valuable then their lives), the right for people to slam Christianity. Yet when someone slams atheism? Well, now the mods had better get in here and get ride of this flame bait RIGHT FRIGGIN' NOW!!! Athtarded. A chance to demonstrate compassion and education, and all we get is another fine example of atheist hypocrisy in action. Pathetic.
Yes, I agree. This thread is pretty awful but its no worse than dozens of atheist threads we get here every day. But to answer the OP, atheism is not a joke. Atheism is actually very dangerous. When atheists take over the government, many people die, especially Christians.
You jokers attack christians everyday. And thats ok? How many of you have made fun of god here? All of you. You all joke ahout spagetti monsters and you are allowed. I can provide tons of links to threads where you all say christianity is a joke and win by a landslide.
Yes, this is true. But Christians are held to a higher standard. Even atheists hold us to a higher standard, because deep down, they know we are better people than they are.
I have seen a bunch of their arguments proven wrong, but that lends no credibility to alternate ideas. Your argument presents no logic that could not just as easily be applied to any other religion. Therefore, I must assume that you're withholding some part of the argument.
Which argument? Atheism isn't a singular entity and no one argument is used by all of us. Why are the people a joke? Atheists run a gamut of personality types, to decry all of them as a joke is simple bigotry. All of our arguments are proven wrong? Obviously I don't agree but just as obviously I won't convince you. To some other posters: Blackrook, you have went up in my estimation. Even though you took the opportunity to take a stab at atheists, at least you were honest about this thread. Neutral, I dont know what's gotten into you. You bleat about the fact that atheists won't step into anti-religion threads to decry bad behaviour, and bleat about the victimisation complex of atheists, but the first thing you do in THIS thread is whine about victimisation and not decry Miller's flamebaiting. As bad as the OP is, the REAL joke here is that Neutral will continue to call OTHER people hypocrites.
I think I will respond with like those Christians who get offended when someone says Christianity is a joke.....no- I don't want to react that badly.... Compassion? The man attacks everyone who doesn't believe what he believes. His post is its own condemnation.
What about the "Was Jesus a rapist?" thread, where the OP admitted in the first post that the thread was pure BS, and was just meant to "get back" at Christians who'd called Muhammed a rapist. That thread was never deleted as flamebait even when the OP outright admitted it was.
Seems the other Christians on the forum disagree with your assesment SF. Could just be that atheists view anything that disagrees with their faith as ... a personal insult. That my freind, especially in a debate forum, is a personal problem. In this particular case, as I have done before with you personally, I will again note that you sit on the sidelines when these types of threads are started and directed at Christians, I will remind you that the overwhelming majority of your fellow atheists voted pointedly to allow these types of threads on this forum, and now ... those same atheists are screaming: And, finally, I do appreciate it that you appear to be joining in with the hoard of accusing athtrolls, but the only people I strenuously disagree with in the faith realm are atheists. I can, and often do defend other religion, making your vitimhood and attempted smear pointed in contention with facts - just as your inabiliaty to respond to the OP is somehow ALSO my fault. I suggest you stop blaiming others, and, for all atheists, simply man up and accept responsibility. If, after two years of smarmy accusations and deliberate smears, I am still here ... perhaps you should note the effecacy of such tactics. They do not work in any professional setting either. Your grudge, based on teh faith of someone who disagrees with you in a bedate forum, is your cross to bear - no pun intended.
Gotta love the personal pot shots aimed at individual posters flwoing from atheists on this one ... I wonder if EVEN one of them will offer up an arguement in defense of their faith, rather than cry over spilt milk?
Jedi, good to see you around. I actually always enjoy your posts. I do, however, have to take you to task a bit with the statement in bold. You use the word proven. Proven suggests there was proof or fact involved. Now when it comes to the existence of your god, there is zero proof, nothing, not a single shred to suggest it is real.
No, there is plenty of evidence. A good one presented just today. "According to Penrose, the odds against such an occurrence were on the order of 1010123 to 1. It is hard even to imagine what this number means. In math, the value 10123 means 1 followed by 123 zeros. (This is, by the way, more than the total number of atoms 1078 believed to exist in the whole universe.) But Penrose's answer is vastly more than this: It requires 1 followed by 10123 zeros. Or consider: 13 means 1,000, a thousand. 10103 is a number that that has 1 followed by 1000 zeros. If there are six zeros, it's called a million; if nine, a billion; if twelve, a trillion and so on. There is not even a name for a number that has 1 followed by 10123 zeros. In practical terms, in mathematics, a probability of 1 in 1050 means "zero probability". Penrose's number is more than trillion trillion trillion times less than that. In short, Penrose's number tells us that the 'accidental" or "coincidental" creation of our universe is an impossibility." http://www.creationofuniverse.com/html/equilibrium03.html That is in addition to thousands of sites like this: http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics/answers.html The idea that there is zero evidence for God is a common bit of atheistic propoganda. Its wrong.
Not a joke. People are not a joke. Platform is a platform, what, funny platform? All arguments are wrong. Christians never argue. Who are clowns? Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, thread.
Wow! that means a guy who flies around the sky and sent his magic Jewish son here to die for our failures is real! Thanks man!
I will just say it again The man attacks everyone who doesn't believe what he believes. His post is its own condemnation. Sorry skipped everything else you wrote.
