Theists debating Atheists

[Neo-Scholastic]

As for me, I realize that I have no power to change hearts and minds, least of all on any internet forum. My participation has already confirmed what previously I only suspected: that atheism is an intellectual dead end masquerading under the pretence of reason. I only hang around as a witness against this pernicious insanity so that none may be without excuse during the White Throne Judgement.

Intellectual dead end I suppose is a euphemism for people daring to not being convinced by your arguments

But you have made me curious. Maybe you would like to try once more and present an argument against atheism (for the existence of god)?

I can't figure out why a hardcore apologetic theist would want to keep trolling a bunch of Atheists. What is the pleasure in it for them? They sound retarded so the joke is on them.

I have trolled Christian sites before. It's easy and funny to trip them up. It's not easy to be the Theist trolling an Atheist site. Do they just like the abuse? Do they think they will change minds?

Oh yeah, this thread is not directed at any individual but rather is a general question.

I wonder if you have thought of their perspective.  You say you have trolled theist sites and it's easy and fun to trip them up.  Did you ever think, these trolling theists also think the exact same thing about atheists?  Just because you're not convinced, doesn't mean they don't think they got you.   

Also think about the theists on the sites you troll, do you think they are convinced by your points?  I honestly think you have more in common than you think.  You both do the same thing and think the same about the opposite position, you are just playing for different teams

Hey Jesus died on a cross for them .. this is easy by comparison.

I would just like to take this opportunity publicly to declare in the most binding manner possible that having fairly been told of the 'word of the lord', I did, being in sound mind and body, reject it outright.  (Actually, I think I may have chortled.)

Reason relies heavily on evidence. I will certainly join you in your beliefs if you can provide me with tangible evidence.

If anything is "an intellectual dead masquerading under the pretense of reason" it's the anthropomorphism of theism.

He'll just rehash the five ways again.

Look, I'm God alright, so I know everything. And I know damn well I don't exist. So I think that settles it. Atheists win.

It's not a competition of course. Certainly not a close one. We won by 943,632 to nil! We are the champions! But don't feel bad, like I say, it's not a competition.

Atheism - The lack of belief in god that's all too it.
The deeper meaning of it being we use the lack of evidence and reasoning
and we come to the conclusion there is no god(s).

Theism - The belief of god(s).
The deeper meaning of this is overlooking the fact that there is no evidence
of said god(s) and using faith in place of reasoning to believe in god(s).

Chad get your shit together and pack it up and put it away.

Yikes. Aren't you a peach.
