Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheists Criticizing Religion

[Whateverist]

Perhaps you need to find facts, and not personal opinions.

But I WILL accept your apology.

I'll have you know, as children my brother managed to BARELY make it alive. He, as was I, were found to be products of the "pagan industry". The ammount of innocent lives killed by (satan worship) "paganism" is litterally ball breaking. There are SO MANY innocent lives that are killed by paganism, that it is not equal to the ammount of hype that the word "paganism" brings up. You have to be serious about that.

Is it just me or does this guy's incoherence border on psychosis? Sure there is the same ignorance and moronic certainty we get from garden variety theists. But I think I'm smelling something more. Anyone else picking that up?

I can bet that an approximate "billion" lives die every 5 years to the practice known as "paganism". This is just an estimate, but there are so many forms of paganism. "Back yard paganism", where  you build a little wicker man, probably helps out that number and makes it a "trillion". Are you still so sure that paganism is not satan worship? I know for a fact it is, and I am in the process of proving that to you (if I find a way to....). Most every form of paganism is directly "satanism" or devil worship. In fact, a great majority of popular paganism is ALSO satan worship. They wear masks or whatever, I think gas masks?? Like Malikas (The son of Lucifer), and spread the boundary of their city with pain and curses.

Jehovah God, in point of fact, resides within the story of the wicker man itself. So it is also a RELIGIOUS act, but not in any way at all is it actually religious! The Mikhael angels protect the very dignity of the wicker man, dealing with people like you probably constantly who resort to calling it a religious thing (paganism the religion). They reside within the very kingdom of God, and that's big, so you know that the wicker man is actually meant from the beginning to be an entirely christian thing, and resting outside the realm of actual pagan practice. I believe this is where the religion of Christianity is proven as the world's only actual superpower. Nevertheless, people still make the wicker man look satanic. They make the (Michael is such a popular name these days....) Mikhael angels look bad.

Psycho or Poe? Poe? Psycho? So damned hard to be sure.

There are enormous ammounts of proof for your incorrect claim though. If you visit just about any "pagan" website on the web, it is linked to an enormous ammount of satan worship. You will find a majority of a million websites directed towards nothing but forum debate (aka satanism as paganism), or other methods of getting their "word" across.

There's your answer, Beccs. The evidence is to be found in copious amounts on websites spread all over the internet. So his evidence is contingent on you doing the work and withholding judgement concerning the source of the 'evidence'.


I got it. Psychotic Poe!

[JBrentonK]

If you want proof why don't you just go to google and type in pagan satanism.

A billion lives every 5 years are taken because of Paganism? 200 million per year? That's an astonishing number! O_O


...Particularly when you consider there are only around 50-60 million deaths per year, from every cause combined, around the entire world. Really, quite astonishing!

Might I add these numbers are among the UNDOCUMENTED DEATHS.

The flying speghetti monster is, I believe, a PAGAN satire. So therefore, the modern atheist is confused about what makes religion, religion.

In Christianity, it is acceptable God to make sacrafices. This we all know. God asks for certain sacrafices in the bible, I believe. Nevertheless, these sacrafices are all NON PAGAN. That is the difference between atheists and christians: One sacrafices for the Good of the world, and one sacrafices for pure stupidity and ill intented purposes.

I will have you know: Likely every reader on this thread will not recognize the difference fully.

If there were 200 million deaths every year from ANY cause, the human race would be driven to extinction within a century due to it outpacing the global birth rate, you gibbering idiot. But why do I bother? You think Captain Cloudsurfer is your old man, for the sake of fuck.

Not that far off from Christianity, is it?  [emoji56]

ZING!

Glad I could elicit a laugh! You guys probably need it after chasing Chad around his endless circle for days.

JK is the most boring, verbose and pointless poe I've ever seen.

Prove it's an unsubstantiated claim.  It makes as much sense as your broad claim.

What you read into an article and what the article actually says, are two entirely different things, especially if your interpretation is coloured by your own agenda.

Perhaps you need to find facts, and not personal opinions.

But I WILL accept your apology.

The popularity of paganism, however, is sky high, and it is astonishing that you do not know this about the actual practice known as paganism. Because 10/10th's of the paganism out there is an extremely large population of people doing nothing but sacraficing an innocent person. Daily. Weekly. By the hour. They have clocks that count down to "roast" time. I've seen some of the wildest stuff really.... But if you still believe that Paganism is not Satan worship, perhaps this is the wrong forum for you. You need to join some other forum, preferably "the pagan zoo" (just kidding, but I bet there is a "the pagan zoo" out there some where....).

You know, lying for Jebus is still lying.

[Crossless2.0]

I wish I actually had a wicker man because I sure as hell have a list of possible candidates.

JBrentonK: Some sort of goofy, psychotic Christian? Possibly (though more likely a troll). Virgin? Definitely.

Yeah, he'd do.

[LadyForCamus]

I love how theists badger us to provide evidence to disprove their beliefs; really, really, real scientific evidence, and when we do demonstrate scientific evidence (ex: QM) their comeback is, "well, stupid old science doesn't mean anything anyway."  *sigh*. You guys must feel exhausted after a several day round with the likes of Chad...

No one said that science doesn't matter, only that people must be clear about the kind of knowledge it provides and the kind of knowledge it presupposes.

Quantum Mechanics works. Newtonian physics works also. Both describe in mathematical language an underlying reality. If someone says that QM is ‘true’ he mistakes the map for the terrain. Someone else could just as easily say that Newtonian physics is ‘true’.

Within a logical positivist methodology, the scientific narratives do not conflict when used within the scope of their application. Neither, however, speaks to the underlying ontology of the thing described. Divorced from metaphysics of being, scientific inquiry of the natural world yields story about a set of accidental features but not the essential natures of beings.

In other words, natural science presupposes the metaphysical concept of essential natures that philosophically shallow atheistic positivists deny because they accept only empirical findings.

Okay...I am no great intellect or logicist, but I'm calling bullshit on all that philosophical rubbish. It was just a long winded way of saying that science is good and fine only when it works in favor of your philosophies. When science contradicts them, you fall back on the total cop-out idea that there is some OTHER type of really, really, real reality that science is not capable of accessing or illuminating fully. Cop-out. And perfectly convenient for the theist, as he can cast all pesky, unpleasant empirical findings out of the arena, and keep all his magical god crap in that special other reality where science apparently can't reach. How safe for you.

"Because I said so," DOESN'T COUNT....[emoji33]
