Seriously, Drich, I wish you could understand how crazy you sound when you start talking like that.
I was making a joke, because when dry sand finally gets to the point where he fully understand an argument, his whole debate tactic moves from name calling and blind uninformed rants to posting memes, gifs and youtube videos rather than trying to keep up topically.
You were caught in a similar situation when I shone some light on your "3000 year old strawman" and further explained my point. Your gif was a sad attempt to misdirect and appeal to popularity, (all the monkey see/monkey doers who in like fashion jumped on the gif bandwagon is proof of that) in the same way Dry sand does when he is caught. You both look to trivialize rather than engage.
I was just pointing out the similarities of the two opposite ends of atheistic debate the two of you repersent. You may see yourself as being miles above another member here (which would make me "crazy" for compareing you two) but truly you only seem to be the opposite sides of the same coin.
No, genius, it was not a strawman, despite your attempts to "illuminate" the situation. It is trivial that you think that the age of your religion, and all the things you think it accomplishes (while ignoring all the things it has clearly failed to accomplish-- including several of the things you mistakenly believe are fulfilled prophecies, even though the basic definition-of-the-word-for-virgin and simialar issues are staring you in the face, as told to you by experts in the Hebrew language who know more than the writers of the New Testament clearly did when reading Isaiah and trying to connect the Jesus-figure to anything they could scrounge up in the OT to justify their tentative claim) have any weight. You deny the very basic nature of what makes humanity, you ignore major scientific findings in favor of your fantasy-delusion about sin-nature and choices, and you try to claim that we should take you seriously when we mock you for talking about magic here in the world of reality.
Only the fact that your religion is so popular allows you to even make those claims without stopping to say, "Damn, this shit I'm saying really is wacky, isn't it?"
I cannot trivialize what is already trivial.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
