If we're talking OFF-TOPIC STUFF but NO THEIST is capable of rationally challenging atheism. Because there is no rational defense for an imaginary friend. So let's stop humoring them.
We disagree and it isn't because I think the stupid shit that fundies believe is worth discussing. It is because I'm interested to hear why intelligent people who disagree with me think what they do. Just because so many fundies are idiots doesn't mean everyone who disagrees with us is an idiot.
I don't think all theists are idiots but I do think all theism is idiotic. And hence not worth taking seriously.
My opinion is that you are misrepresenting what we actually disagree about. And you actually agree with me that theism is ridiculous and I am only suggesting we stop giving theism the benefit of the doubt. Hence why I see no problems with debating with theists when the subject isn't theism. When the subject is theism it's like debating whether Elvis is still alive: A total waste of time and energy. Humoring the belief that Elvis is still alive by addressing that belief as if it's a belief worth debating... is what I am suggesting we stop doing. And my point is that humoring theism is the equivalent of that.
