Do Christian Parents Abuse their Children?

[Edwardo Piet]

I don't use "Dawkins said so" as a support for his argument. That doesn't make any sense. It's like saying "the bible says so - so it must be true". See? It doesn't make any sense.

There is no historical proof of JC's life let alone how he died. How then can anyone state there were 14 or 15 or 12 or any "stations of the cross"? This is an absurdity. You don't even know what you had for lunch a year ago, how would anyone know what JC did 2,000 years ago?

"The fact that  you did not find any meaning in the NT, is an individual matter" - No, it is a matter of simple logic. Unless you do a great deal of mental gymnastics, there is little to no consistent, coherent meaning in the bible. It's why I had to read the NT 3 times - just to make sure I wasn't missing something.

He does not say it in the god delusion. He says it in interviews and in articles.

I have defined unwholesome thoughts, words and actions as being those that harm or kill living beings. Your god is responsible for the death of millions of living beings in one supposed act of his - the great flood. But this is just one of his many heinous crimes.

I didn't think you had an argument. What's worse is that you don't even realize it. A parting lesson on arguments:

1. troll: One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument
2. BBZ has now posted two threads with very provocative titles with no attempt to justify them--using them as a platform to complain about other aspects of religion not related to the thread title.
3. Whereas one such thread could be a misstep, two is a pattern.
4. Therefore BBZ is a troll.

Logically sound. Conclusion follows from the premises.

Wow you suck at logic. Your first premise includes intention and the other premises don't and you are completely blind to that. It's not logically sound at all, you merely assume that he's intending to cause disruption and argument when he could easily be making a thread arguing that religious indoctrination is child abuse, not because he's intending to provoke, but because he thinks that religious indoctrination is child abuse. I myself hold that view and I'm not a troll either. And I say provocative things all the time, but my intention is not to provoke, my intention is to speak my mind honestly regardless of if it's provocative or not.

And I'm not surprised that a logically unsound argument made by a theist got a bunch of kudos only by other theists. It's failing to detect such subtly illogical missteps that prevents you losing your religions delusions.

The feeling's mutual. You've never been mean to me or treated me badly. There is mutual respect there.
