Question For Fellow Atheists...

[Asmodee]

Of course my facts and figures are no match for their immense ignorance, but in the end they're the ones pissed off and giving up, not me.  I know that my beliefs are based in reality and their are not.

I say that arguing with Theists is futile and generally pointless unless you're just venting or do it for self entertainment.  It's like trying to win at a game of chess when your opponent is playing 'Dungeons & Dragons'.  It's not so much an uneven playing field as much as it's two entirely different playing fields.

The Theists' argument is based on the supernatural whereas the Atheists' argument is hampered or restricted by reality.  You can't use rationality or logic in an argument against someone who as a Theist, by definition, has rejected rationality and logic...

I actually talked to an intelligent, non-argumentative theist the other day.  First time.  We actually agreed on everything we talked about.  I got to talking to him because he wrote an essay I read part of for a philosophy class tearing down the all arguments that homosexuality is immoral.  It was well written and he went through point by point obliterating every single argument made that it was immoral.  So I told him I wouldn't mind chatting with him some time.  He stopped by the first time last Thursday Friday, I think.  Hell, I actually enjoyed talking to him more than most atheists I know, not that I know many.  That's when I learned that he considered himself to be Christian, but just couldn't buy the argument that homosexuality is inherently immoral for the simple reason that all the arguments are seriously flawed.  I don't know how the hell he's a theist, but an intelligent theist, I'll take it!
