Out-Damn-Standing ya nit-wit.  You just proved my freaken point with that close minded statement.

Next we can debate the benefits of tax sponsored religious organizations and events, gay rights, woman’s rights, the rights of a fetus,the muslim right of consent to be nine years old, and let’s say the right to own slaves. I bet you're extremely close minded on most (if not all) of those issues. Hell, anyone that can have their mind changed on issues like that doesn’t know where they stand to begin with. Thus…. Extremely close minded.

And making an 'extremely' subjective generalized statement about the most ill-defined group ever isn't? Again, FUCK OFF WITH THAT BULLSHIT. And the examples you've given are shite. One side has to tap-dance around what the narrow scope of some old books say and, as many different perspective as there may be besides that one, the one I subscribe to bases it on what the scientific evidence has to say coupled with a secular humanist morality standpoint which is extremely open to situational cases with an objective outcome still at the pinnacle. Way to project a closed-minded stereotype onto someone else. We should make a coded index of every dipshit tactic just so we can abbreviate them to numbers or two- or three-letter substitutions.

I wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't used that subjective bullshit 'extremely' in your statement. That kind of hyperbole is fucking insulting and I'm sick of it, especially when you're applying it to atheism and not taking care to differentiate the myriad groups within them. I don't throw the same arguments at Buddhists as I do Xtians or Muslims. Non-belief in one thing doesn't imply belief or non-belief in any other thing. Fucking figure that shit out before you open your mouth.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
