Why Do Atheists Criticize People's Beliefs?
Why Do Atheists Criticize People's Beliefs?

Are you intentionally twisting my words around or are you honestly just getting a different meaning from what I said? I literally said "C hates the world and doesn't want his family to have to live in it anymore". That clearly implies that not only does he think it's a terrible place for him, but for them as well.

Quote:If he deeply believes it's a terrible place, for them, then...again, he deeply believes...what sense does it make to call him a non-believer in that case?

Quote:That's basically where we disagree.  You seem to be implying that someone like A wouldn't be someone like C without his religious beliefs.  I'm saying that's a baseless implication.  
Well, we don't actually disagree, you change the subject when you trip on your own dick.  / shrugs

Quote: How have I changed the subject??

Still haven't deigned to tell me, what you think, in your own scenario...not that I don't already have a pretty good idea of how you hope to moot the issue.

Moot what issue? I think that A and C are acting badly and B and D are acting well and that their beliefs are not determining whether or not they act well or badly. That's the point of the scenario. What am I missing?
