Just because one claims to be a skeptic, it doesn't mean they are. The OP is a perfect example of this

@OP
Anything you say your god can do to satisfy your intellectual and existential longing is irrelevant to those of us who care about truth enough to hold it to a standard that doesn't simply accept each person's vain and credulous speculations.

Do you think these frauds believe their own crap? Or is it all an act for the money?

Or it just means that Antikytherian95 doesn't know what "dogma" means: "a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true." Who are the atheist authorities? What are the principles laid down? What does any atheist claim as incontrovertibly true, except that he lacks a belief in at least one god? It's frankly annoying that a theist of Anti's ilk claims to be a critical thinker, despite showing no ability or inclination to address the ideas which would be required to make a good case for theism-- and then sees an unwillingness for others to buy into his illogic as dogmatic resistance on their part. Anti, dude, I don't disagree with you because there's an atheist party line. I disagree with you because your ideas are founded in an obvious fairy tale, and you've provided neither a good philosophical nor a good evidential case to change my mind.
I'm just astonished that admitting you don't know something means you're dogmatic.
I thought it meant that you don't change your mind regardless of new evidence. I'm so glad we have the theists to tell us what words really mean. If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71. |
