Atheism Undermines Knowledge

Did you expect anything but a useless platitude, Rhythm?

No, FNM, I didn't expect anything more, but I like to hold out hope that somebody, someday, might offer more. We'd still have to assign some measure of accuracy to the explanation but at least it wouldn't be as useless - even as a proposition- as what we've been treated to thusfar.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

As your ignorance is no concern if mine, I'm going to let you get back to it. Take care.
Fr0d0, your statement was vacuous. There's nothing of substance to address.

Fr0d0, what the fuck are you on about? Do you have an inverted definition of rationality or something?

Take care. What point? What is it with you and your fellow apologists, always blaming the recipient when you've failed to deliver some message that you insist is there? I have never once been presented with any "reasoned" "reasonable" or even remotely "reason-like" -anything- that entailed an invocation of an existent god. Not once, not by you, not by anyone. I don't actually think that anything like that has ever been presented in all of human experience - but I leave open the possibility that my experience is just not enough to conclude that - so I keep asking you and yours to provide what you claim to possess. With the amount of people claiming possession, one would hope that at least one of you wasn't such a dismal failure. You can't even elaborate upon your own statement, can you? You realized that yourself and that's why you decided to blather on about having me on ignore, isn't it? The statement doesn't even work for you, you can't even describe how god explains "human potential" or it's "maximized" whatever-the-fuck-one-can-mutter... -to you-, let alone whether or not it actually describes or explains anything beyond the urge to make the claim...

 @Rhythm: Please tell me what you have done to get on Fr0d0's ignore list. I keep trying different things, but so far I have not been similarly blessed. Is there a secret to it? ![[Image: extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/zf86M5L7/extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg) |
