Theists: What is the most compelling argument you have heard for Atheism?

[Angrboda]

Typical apologetic trash.  Intentionalist fallacy with a healthy dose of ad hoc interpretation.  Total bullshit, Chad, Mr. "I take things as they seem" (except when it comes to the bible).  Total bullshit.

I wonder how someone, such as yourself, can so readily recognize nuance in the natural sciences and philosophy and yet be so oblivious to it in other areas such as hermeneutics and semiotics.

Why don't you own your accusations Chad? If you think I'm being stupid in my criticism of your hermeneutic stance towards the bible, say so. The fact is that I recognize nuance just fine when it comes to such subjects, enough to recognize that you pull your punches regarding themes in the bible due to ideological commitments. That's special pleading and it's intellectually dishonest. You make excuses for the places where the bible gets the science wrong because you are committed to a view of the bible as inspired by God. This is nothing more than an irrational presupposition. You can take your accusations about my competence in hermeneutics and semiotics and shove them up your ass.
