RE: "The New Atheists are back — and dumber than ever"

December 26, 2015 at 9:20 am (This post was last modified: December 26, 2015 at 9:21 am by Cyberman.)

Quote:Delicate quite clearly applies his own definitions of words to our posts, despite us being clear that we use definitions different to his.

What Delicate actually seems to mean by "atheist" is "someone who dogmatically agrees with prominent atheists". Sadly for him, that describes no one here that I'm aware of. So he's argueing against an empty set as far as this audience is concerned.

If there actually were such people, who did dogmatically follow Dawkins et al, then I'd join him in calling them stupid, just for being in that category in the first place.

Will he ever realize that we do not do this?

Which is the very thing that I try to make a point of avoiding when I ask for the other person's meaning of whatever it is. Anytime we make an argument against a particular model of a god, that person can simply object and say "that's not the god I believe in", and rightly so. By nailing their trousers to the mast right at the outset, we prevent them from playing that card.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
