So, in order to protect Heaven from the evil-doers, the all-powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing, creator and sustainer of the universe requires the use of soldiers with tactical gear and automatic weapons?

You are spectacularly stupid.

Sorry, judging you anyways.

That's because like many theists I have encountered, you don't seem to understand that atheism and atheist, are two different things.

Quote:So when the Soviet Union was in the process of slaughtering priests and monks, destroying churches, and pushing "State Atheism" in schools with the explicit goal of reducing the religious population and creating a new, educated atheist society had nothing to do with atheism?

Correct, well done, you got one right. Though I suspect you don't know why of course. The clue is still your inability to understand that atheism and atheist are two different things. Try replacing "atheist society" with atheistic as well, that might help. 

You see I doubt Ted Bundy believed mermaids were real, now does this mean being a serial killer has anything to do with not believing mermaids are real? Think hard now, I am sure you can do this if you really try to think critically. Even if Ted Bundy decided he wanted everyone else to share his disbelief, and set about slaughtering those who believed mermaids were real of course. 

It's fun to see you fuck this up, so don't feel too bad.

Perhaps the second lol will be a clue for you, Mr. Sherlock, of the fact those strawmen you charge so valiantly ain't waterwheels.

I understand atheism just fine, thanks - but thank you for proving that, yet again, secularists and atheists have no clue what theists do or don't actually believe because they are too busy thinking they know more than everyone else.

I know what it is, and the fact that it’s AI has nothing to do with your moronic contention that Heaven needs guards.

A theist believes at least one god or God is actually real. Am I wrong?

Nah, not busy with that at all. Thinking I know more than you doesn’t take up a lot of my time.

I'm glad I was able to demonstrate that I understand what a theist believes to your satisfaction. I think that proves that the statement 'secularists and atheists have no clue what theists do or don't actually believe' was more than a bit hyperbolic. I think that, in fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find an English speaking secularist or atheist who doesn't know what theists actually believe.

Doesn't change the argument

No ones engaged in any strawmen

No you don't not in the slightest and no we understand theist positions fine and no it's theists who revel in arrogance.
