This guy registered here half a year ago, claiming to be an atheist, and then posted weeks of idiotic bullshit. He then disapeared after posting some of the most disgusting sexist bullshit. He will not deliver a single argument, all he posted and probably will ever post are insults and idiotic claims based on thin air.


At least now he is not claiming to be an atheist whilest posting his useless rubbish.

I've said it before: it doesn't take a genius to be an atheist and neither will it prevent you from being an idiot. Atheists are just people without a whole lot in common aside from the lack of religious belief.

As for the age at which folk become atheists, I hope you do realize how very much younger most of the religious are when they are indoctrinated as theists?

If you stop to realize that all you say applies to many people generally and that people is all atheists really are, you might not be so surprised to realize we take all kinds.

You've come a long way, Vinnie. You've gone from being intimidated to trying to intimidate. But is that really progress? Also, why do you have a picture of John Searle as your avatar?

Almost all atheism is irrational. Why?

Such young ages of atheists just show how stupid those who cling to that belief are.

Hmmm...

"Ah but Vinny Gabagool, atheists know more about the Bible, look at the stats!" You will say, no doubt pointing to some stats.

Just sayin'.

Oh, and you trying to arouse me again, Kaye?

It's working...

"Ah but Vinny Gabagool, atheists know more about the Bible, look at the stats!" You will say, no doubt pointing to some stats. "Nonsense!" I will reply. While most religions are entirely focused on knowing about their own religion, atheists, for the most part are anti-theists. So everything they need to know is anti-religious dogma. Biblical contradictions, the euthyphro dilemma, wise-ass sayings that are actually nonsensical- these are de facto atheist teachings. So of course, they would "know more" their entire existence depends on their hatred against people who believe in a God!

You got the title to your post wrong...

It should read

Why Christianity is irrational

100% of the negative things you say about atheist here could be attributed to almost any christian I have ever met. Intelligence is the limiting factor in acceptance of belief. That works both ways and the diatribe you spewed out here is not an example of anything but your opinion. I know intelligent people on both sides of this argument and they all would take offense to the way you describe this.

I could turn this reply against you in a viscous and terrible way but I think anyone with any real RATIONALITY or reason will see this load of BS for what it is on their own. Try harder this is transparent.

I am not sure what happened here. This is not quoted correctly and my reply seems not to be showing the way I typed it. I did not look closely after i pushed reply... this seems to have misaligned the quotes and it doesn't make the proper sense now. I will have to post another reply and go back and read them all again.

It made sense the first time and it doesn't now the way it is written. I promise I was not drunk.

Ok I reread the OP.

Man really? Try harder. While my response got all garbled to something I was not clear on this should not be.

sorry having some quote issues today...

There is the OP above.

I am not gonna waste time just gonna say it like I read it. This is a load of generalized bullshit. It means nothing it is your opinion written as intellectual "fact". So you feel sorry for those with intellect and maybe education? Why is that? Is it maybe because you found that you really were not like them in the end and were never going to be and needed to lash out at those intellectually above you in order to make yourself feel more comfortable?

All I see this as is an angry rant really.

Claims atheism is irrational. Defends it by pointing out how some atheists act irrationally.

With that kind of logic, who are you to speak of rationality?

Wait...what the fuck am I doing? Did I actually engage Vinny the troll in a conversation? Here's what you really deserve...
