Theists debating Atheists

[dyresand]

Theists debating atheists in reality is a huge waste of time for the god(s) believers.
There is no evidence proving that their god(s) is real and when you have a atheist
who is more than likely a ex theists of said religion(s). So for a theists to debate
a atheist all it is just mental masturbation trying to prove that a character in a book(s)
from the bronze age are real without evidence.

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.

I just noticed your belief,  I've read more than my fair share of that dude.  Have you read Life On Other Planets?  Obviously he is patently wrong.  We've been to Mercury, Venus, The Moon, Mars, and no people...  Maybe the crushing gravity of Saturn and Jupiter, maybe Shoemaker-Levy 9 killed them off on Jupiter and the last ones are hiding under the clouds of Saturn.   And most of his books repeatedly say 'love' so many times that it is absurd.

I have a religious magazine somewhere, something like Living Proof,  and on the cover it has the Gray Aliens with Jesus as if to cover ALL the bases.  Not only did Jesus come to America to leave gold inscribed tablets for the Mormons he also is the God of the Aliens !

And re-reading your post it sounds like you want to be the snitch at the gates???  Have you read Enoch?  Wherein Fiery God sits on his fiery throne with hoofs and has his helpers pile up the people and burn them and then they shovel them into hole # 1, then exhume hole #2 to burn in front of God once again and shovel back in, then the same for hole #3, and the whole process happens over and over for the pleasure of God???  I can see why they took that part out, but still the great-grand father of Noah.

Yesterday I was thinking while reading something about a nativity scene being canceled and it brought back memories of the banning of prayer in schools.  You know the X-juns should be supper happy they had their day, think about it, they have churches everywhere and bells chiming on the hour,  grave yards everywhere, fish on cars, and crosses on road ways.  X-juns  are not going to want the Muslims to have their loud speakers blaring their wailing 5 times a day from their mosques down town.  Ya'll can't expect to live in an impartial free world and only your religion is exempt.  To this day I hear people bitching about no prayer in school is ruining this country.

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.

Lol why do you say it's easy to be an atheist trolling a xtian site, but not the other way around?

The same reason you troll Christian sites, I'd guess.

Troll xtian sites? Is there one that's a particularly good choice? I have stumbled into a couple of them in my day. I never was inspired to interact with anyone there. The sites either made me nauseous within a few seconds of reading, or I found something that made me laugh so hard I wished for a place to repost it as a joke.  (Hmm. Maybe I should go back and look for those, now that I'm hanging out here!    )

Seriously. Yes, someone who picks fights with xtians is doing exactly the same thing as someone who picks fights with atheists. You're not really looking for an exchange of information, you just think you're right and want to harass the other side. The guys who come here to preach have one more motivation, though, that an atheist would not have: they think that gawd will reward them for trying to convert the heathens.  They CAN'T listen to reason. Gawd will fry them forever if they do.

Because it's so easy to debunk / dismiss what they believe.

A Christian trolling an Atheist site just winds up looking stupid quick.

By the way CL, you have been corrupted by us. I see your spelling of Christian has evolved into xtian.

And you don't think the theists see this in exactly the same manner that you do?

You wish.    I only do it because I'm lazy. An abbreviation isn't supposed to be anything bad.

There are, in my opinion, enough unsubstantiated opinions and irrational conclusions on both the Theist and Atheist side for both to feel they have plenty of ammunition to score points against the other in arguments. The trick is that they see the shortcomings of the opposing views, and not their own.

Unlike my views, which are ironclad perfect of course

The Abrahamic God has had several bites at the apple now (over 40,000 at last count) and hasn't vomited up a religion yet that can withstand even minor scrutiny nor who's tenets can plausibly prevail in any debate.

I suppose we could go pray for God to get a fucking clue . . . .
