Religious View: Atheism?

[Arminius]

What gets me is the fact that there are people here with christian or other religious views, I would no more go and join a religious forum than I can understand why they would come here.

I know that they cannot say a thing that I would find interesting when put from thier religious viewpoint, so why would they think for a minute that I would try to engage with them.

I think the old saying goes: 'you cannot change the views of someone that has allowed themselves to be persuaded by fantasy'.

Just my 2 cents/pence/centimes/pfennig....

Well, atheists still join theists forums for discussion and stir. I don't think that theists should be banned from the atheist forums, but that's way off the topic of the thread.

At what point did I or anyone 'go off topic' and suggest banning anyone?

And as for discussion, what about? They are wrong and or misguided, simple.

There.

There.

i'm going to be as indirect, if you will, as he is and say that I did not make any mention of HIS desire to ban or not to ban theists. I only stated my belief that theists should not be banned. alright? Again, you're quote of me does not say "You shouldn't think Christian's should be banned" it only says what i believe.

omfg, this is just a place for self-appointed high ground sitters to sit in ambush for the unwary.

What a bunch of self-interested wankers, not athiests, but wankers with an athiest banner, shame on you for being so shallow and weak-minded!

Oh and the banning may as well include me, because sitting here having an intellectual wank with you lot is probably the singly most unatractive thing for me to want to do ever.

At least I don't feel the so needy as to do this for a passtime, cunts!

Well that was interesting...

The best way to learn is to pit yourself against someone of equal or higher intellect than yourself. Good luck ever growing outside yourself with that extremely narrow view of 'discussion' you've got.

An anti-religionist, who named himself after the Dutch theologian Jacob Arminius (the grandfather of the Wesleyan protestant tradition), who btw studied under John Calvin (if anyones gives a crap), who goes on a tirade in an atheist forum. Awesome!
