It is sort of scary how many of those actually are used ... and how much it pisses us off :pac:
I would be tempted to post this in the OTHER FORUM, both as a joke on the bad arguments we hear all the time but also self-referencing joke about how we do tend to get quite pissed off at Christian arguments ... not sure how well it would go do.0 -

Atheists do like to get riled very easily.
When I'm using some social media site and come across Atheist blogs I always like to post a comment below it as someone like "YourChristianSavior" saying "I feel pity for how misguided you are. I will pray for you tonight. God bless."
It's like kicking a hornets nest...

****, I think he just proved god's existence. God must've made the perfect human to laugh at.
Praise the lord! :pac:0 -

As if you'd be the only one.
1) There is no empirical evidence for God therefore there is no evidence for God.
2) Evolution explains religious appetite
3) Faith is blind.
4) The Bible condones rape (utilising a kind of literalism rarely found amongst believers of even the most fundemental type)
5) The Bible constantly contradicts itself (with link to www.IobviouslyhateGod,org or some such)
6) The existance of many religions in some way dissolves the potential that one or other of them is true.
7) The probability of God is X (where X is anything other than 1 or 0)
8) I know God doesn't exist
9) Anyway, I'm not such a bad person. I generally treat people right
10) There is no such thing as objective morality. See 9) above.0 -

Well here we go
The non-empirical kind of evidence is the same kind that's used to justify everything from homeopathy to UFOs to water divining to astrology to ghosts etc etc etc. Non-empirical evidence is pretty much worthless which is why there are >33,000 branches of christianity but one atomic theory.antiskeptic wrote: »1) There is no empirical evidence for God therefore there is no evidence for God.
It kinda does thoughantiskeptic wrote: »2) Evolution explains religious appetite
Not totally. I know that you think god has revealed himself to you so your faith is not blind, it's based on a misunderstanding of how the brain works and how easy it is for your senses to fool you.antiskeptic wrote: »3) Faith is blind.
Believers don't tend to interpret their scriptures in such horrendous ways but that doesn 't mean that's not what was being said. Whenever I hear a believer trying to "interpret"£ a passage, all I think is "this doesn't say what I think it should so I'm going to see if I can come up with something that makes it appear less horrendous". This video pretty much sums it upantiskeptic wrote: »4) The Bible condones rape (utilising a kind of literalism rarely found amongst believers of even the most fundemental type)
I wouldn't say constantly but Judas didn't both die by falling headlong in a field and by hanging himself. The best that can be said is that it can be interpreted (see above) in a way that can make it appear that it doesn't directly contradict itself but regardless the stories are not the same.antiskeptic wrote: »5) The Bible constantly contradicts itself (with link to www.IobviouslyhateGod,org or some such)
Of course it does. We both agree that >99.9999% of religions that have ever existed are false so without empirical evidence you might as well pick your religion by the flip of a coinantiskeptic wrote: »6) The existance of many religions in some way dissolves the potential that one or other of them is true.
I agree. I've never seen someone put an exact figure on it thoughantiskeptic wrote: »7) The probability of God is X (where X is anything other than 1 or 0)
I agree but again, I've very rarely heard anyone say thatantiskeptic wrote: »8) I know God doesn't exist
What's wrong with that?antiskeptic wrote: »9) Anyway, I'm not such a bad person. I generally treat people right
What's wrong with that? A lack of objective morality does not totally negate the idea of right and wrong.antiskeptic wrote: »10) There is no such thing as objective morality. See 9) above.0
