Should I just replace my reading of the bible and religious books with fiction, philosophy, or study of biology/science? Becoming an atheist is not a choice. It is simply not being convinced that gods exist. Atheism is usually a byproduct of critical thinking and skepticism, when correctly applied to the god claim. I did not have to replace my god beliefs with anything else. Critical thinking is just fine. I don't have beliefs in UFO abductions or bigfoot. What do I need to fill the vacuum by not having those beliefs? You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

People can be real jerks when going through a crisis of faith, because it can be a painful experience. That doesn't mean we should all be jerks back. Ahhh .. not even a little bit? J/K Welcome to the atheist religion, TC. It's all good on this side. All sweetness and wonder. You'll love it. See you at the BBQ?

Does it really matter if he's a troll or POE or not, if his arguments, the same ones made by theists, are refuted? If a theist is observing from the sidelines, and he or she sees the same arguments they use being refuted, I don't think it matters if the argument is from a troll or POE or not.

I'm not in the habit of being taken as a wanking toy for a troll or a Poe. He's a phony, as opposed to every true true christian coming here, obnoxious as some of them are. Encouraging him in his shit and run posting spree, is playing his game. So, no. I'm not gonna find any friendly word for a person like that.

Lol, will there be babies Ha, it sure isn't all sweetness and wonder, I think that's why he's being a troll. It's hard for the deeply indoctrinated. I was quite a biotch for a while after realizing I'd basically been lied to my whole life. |
