Are Atheists using Intellectually Dishonest Arguments?

The thing is... as I have already explained... it's not a straw man to say that someone with an imaginary friend has an imaginary friend. You have a friend, that friend is imaginary... the fact you believe he isn't imaginary and has magic powers and created the universe is all irrelevant. He's literally an imaginary friend regardless.

It's very difficult to make a strawman out of theism by making it childish.... because it's already fucking childish.

Because they aren't the same. You're simply asserting that they are without offering any reasonable comparison - which is the point of the blogger.

You've whined on and on about me strawmanning your friend and yet you've still yet to display any evidence that your friend is anything more than imaginary. So who's really beclowning themselves?

Lol you mean calling something what it is . And not tiptoeing around the absurdity of your beliefs . Because your ilk get butthurt when we do.

QFT. That's exactly right.

"How dare you make fun of my beliefs by labeling them with a term that precisely describes how absurd they really are!"
