Why are you being so condescending? What is it about a young person questioning these ideas that offends you so? Hasn't he as much of a right to inquiry as the rest of us?

I don't understand the question.


I think his meaning is something to the effect of: 'why can't creationists see past the BS of the God proposition.' That was my interpretation at least. Correct me if I misrepresented you SciAf.

Nope, your good.
If you can look through the fallacy of god I assumed ya'll would probably understand what I meant.
Sorry for being vague.

Religious scriptures mostly demand sacrifice or caring for others, which is pinful to do, but its the "right" thing to do no matter what religious views you have.

Believers cant take the pain of the good deeds, so, they start to discuss uselss shit in religion "World was created this way. Jesus is God also. All people must obey our God. Our religion is the true one. I will enjoy in heaven".

Bolded mine.

That's...kind of really condescending.  I've met plenty of atheists on this forum along that I would describe as 'simple people' as well.

The fact that the minority of people are atheists (let alone rational) and that the majority of good scientists are atheist shows that in comparison theists are simple.
In a way since they worship archaic scriptures.

Good luck having any meaningful conversations if you enter them with the notion that your discussion partner is 'simple.'

That's why they are stupid.

They also don't read...nor you aparently. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--


Faith: Evidential experience, a gift of God, not made by man. "Just have faith" is a meaningless and ignorant statement.

He doesn't like it when an old person questions his horseshit.  You see, he cannot understand that the problem is not with the questioner but rather with the bullshit.
