Disproving Odin - An Experiment in arguing with a theist with Theist logic

[robvalue]

You'd think that theists would have good imaginations, given their tendency for magical stories. But I've found that the opposite is true. Huggy is showing here how incapable he is of imagining different possibilities. In his mind, either:

1) We have a current explanation for something
2) God did it

That's it. And of course, by "God", he means his God, not one of those fake imaginary ones. No matter how many times we bring this up, he's incapable of seeing how he is building a false dichotomy. Incapable, or brutally dishonest. If it's the latter, he's only cheating himself. He should have realized by now that he's not going to convince anyone of anything by using obvious fallacies, so he can only be trying to convince himself. I think that's what most theists come here for, to be honest.

This lack of imagination/critical thinking is not entirely their fault, of course. When all you ever hear is "God did it" from your parents and community, it's going to stunt your thinking and curiosity. Any question you have, that doesn't have a simple immediate answer, "God did it". Now look at the results, an adult with a fifty year old picture of a ball of light, using it as evidence for a character in a story book in an effort to disprove a real Norse superbeing. I would expect that most five year olds could spot the flaws in that plan. I'm not trying or be mean, it just makes me really sad to see someone's thinking so thoroughly addled by conclusions they require to be true. [Cue tu quoque about "you atheists".]
