Arguing with God believers is beyond pointless

RE: Arguing with God believers is beyond pointless
Very true - so often they seem to forget that we're against ANY God!

I found it hilarious - and quite ridiculous - when Dawkins said to John Lennox in a debate how he's in exactly the same position to the Christian God as he is to Zeus and he does not "believe atheism" as Lennox said - and Lennox said how this is nothing to do with Zeus because Zeus and other God's like that are "non-existent entities" and how this isn't about atheism vs theism it's about atheism vs Christianity; about two different viewpoints.

Lmao I found that so funny because he missed the whole point entirely that Dawkins was saying he was exactly the same in respect to Zeus as he was to Christianity; and what's the difference? Why is the Christian God any more reasonable to believe in exactly?

Lennox was simply acting as if Christianity was on a higher plane than someone if they believe(d) in Zeus but gave no real reason, he simply dismissed Zeus etc; and said they were "non-existent entities !" with a bare assertion. Oh so easy to evade there isn't it?

For anyone who hasn't seen the debate I am speaking of (and in video form, it's on audio in youtube) it's right here: http://www.dawkinslennoxdebate.com/

Then you can interpret your own way and deal with exactly what was said rather than my own paraphrasing and going by memory Smile
