Hello!
July 20, 2011 at 7:32 pm
Just signed up here.

I post over at the other atheist forums (.com), off and on, but they have an admin that seems to pull the trigger too quickly on banning creationists and theists that have misconceptions about the meaning of atheism, so I thought I'd come over here and try this forum out.

I'm looking forward to some good debate and discussion. But I also like toying with creationists too.


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.

Well, you'll love debating, Statler then. He's our resident YEC (young earth creationist). I can't stand the guy, but feel free to rip him to shreds. Tongue

Anyway, welcome. Big Grin
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

On the other hand I don't think we've ever banned someone for having misconceptions. Preaching yes. Misconceptions? Not in my memory.

But I wouldn't trust that memory with a penny. As if I cared about pennies these days. Probably would roll them into one of those airport things. Wheeeeee. It's actually boring as hell.

Have fun and I welcome the clearly bored person who sounds like they could be fun Heart

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word

Well you'll be glad to hear that being a creationist or misinformed theist is not a crime here. There isn't any fun if you don't have someone to argue with.

Hey Simon! Welcome to the forums! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
