Why do atheists care about human life?

The whole reason I'm an atheist is because I'm concerned with truth. And the truth is that humans care about other humans.

 

Terrified refusal noted.

 

Prove your claim wherein you state that I have presented a "terrified refusal". To have made such a response, I would have to be terrified. Prove that I am terrified...

Me too!

 

You keep saying that. It has no basis in reality. If it did, you could provide some kind of evidence. Instead, though, you keep posting the same thing over and over like a spoiled little brat.

 

How DOES it? You're just making a leap without any real foundation.

 

Species that kill each other for fun at the drop of a hat will tend to die out for very obvious reasons. Sure, there might be the odd exception - we call them sociopaths - but what has that got to do with atheism? There is no link indicated in any way.

There isn't a person alive who has never told a lie. By your logic, everything everyone ever says about anything is a lie because it is told by someone who has lied in the past. That's moronic.

 

Reputation: the beliefs or opinions that are generally held about someone or something

Nothing to do with admissions. Show some evidence that the opinion of him as a liar is held by the general populace of this forum, or admit that you're flinging unfounded insults.

 

I guess it's in the same place as your irrefutable proof of him lying about everything.

 

You were waiting to say that no matter what I said, just as long as you could construe what I'd said as a positive response. Tool.

It was a bogus question and you know it.

 

Your letters typed look a little crooked, prolly due to hands shaking whilst typing? IMO.

 

Do you mean to tell us that ole George Washington was also a liar? That would mean that the founding father of this country was a liar. As for those that are alive.. if you think you can find that I have told a lie, then I would agree with you. So without proving that every person currently living has told a lie, then your claim is equally moronic as what you would like to declare about my statement. Your logic must be faulty.

Or even your evidence of where I declared that he IS "LYING ABOUT EVERYTHING".

 

It was an honest inquiry regarding your former statement. I was merely seeking clarification and making sure that is what you wanted to impart. Tool? Yes! All questions are tools. Asking questions allows one to gain more knowledge.. and as you might have heard,,,, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. No one twisted your arms or held a gun at your head and forced you to write what you wrote. That was a matter of your own free will.

Are you now presuming to KNOW what is in my mind thus enabling you to make such a declaration? What am I thinking while you are reading this?

It ( your perception of the conditions of the letters that show on your screen) might even be the result of your inebriation. You might want to leave that stuff alone.

 

If you would have us believe that you have never in your entire life told a lie then I think we can end this conversation with everyone laughing at you, thanks.

 

If you think that you can claim that I have told a lies or multitudes of lies, then the burden is upon you to prove that claim. So until such time as you have that PROOF, then you will just have to accept my being as it is while wondering about your thoughts until you can show such proof. Until then, any of your supposed claims regarding me and the subject of telling lies is just as laughable. Everything that exists as a claim has to be either proven or simply accepted or rejected as a statement by the claimant. The acceptance or the rejection of the claim, if spoken about, then would likewise have to be either accepted or rejected by those reading or hearing the reason for the acceptance or rejection. What you 'BELIEVE' is your own private business unless you make it publicly known, and I frankly don't care what you believe unless your belief has some adverse affect upon my being. The only way for your belief(s) to be able to have an affect upon me, is for that belief(s) to be made manifest in reality by some action accomplished by you.

 

So.... you are NOT going to claim that you've never told a lie. That's what I thought.

 

Atheists who may be US citizens are fortunate enough to have a Constitution regarding our Individual Liberty.

 

Why should I claim anything in that regard? Either way I were to answer, either 'yes' or 'no' there is a strong likelihood that you would come back with 'prove your claim'.

 

Well, the point was that everyone lies at times. You appeared to be questioning this by bringing yourself up as an example. That would be rather pointless if you weren't going to dispute the fact that you have lied at some point in your life.

If you were just posting something that had utterly no point to it, then that's cool with me.

 

It had a point to it.. The point being that no-one should accuse another of telling lies, unless there is either an admission to telling lies or unless there is substantial evidence to justify the declaration of the other person telling lies. If you are relying on an 'old wives tale' about people telling lies, then you are expressing a degree of faith in that 'old wives tale'. BTW: 'old wives tale' includes but is not limited to fairy tales or other imaginative writings of man.

 

Oh OK, you just wanted to express an opinion that wasn't directly related to the point I was making. Fair enough.

 

You mean the opinion that you made. You have presented no points or authorities, just opinions without any substantial evidence.

Do you believe I lied to my congregation?
Yes or no.
Don't equivocate.
Simple question. Give a one word answer.
I dare you.

Don't worry. I don't expect you to have the integrity to answer it.
Give your excuse.
