The atheists here are on average much better at it than the average population though. And this is still my favorite forum ever. And there are a few really smart people around here.
I was young when I got here though. My critical thinking has improved over the years. So it has become more and more obvious over time.
I'm a 'trumptard' who 'lacks intelligence', and it's pretty obvious to me Khemikal's full of shit. CL thinks God is real, and she has no trouble spotting it. Do you think me and CL are just excellent critical thinkers, and that's why we can spot it when the majority of these above average thinkers can't?
I am extremely confused if you genunely think Trump is a good president, yes. A baked potato would be a better president.
No I don't think you and CL are excellent critical thinkers. I don't think it takes a genius to spot Khem's shit... I think that a lot of atheists just get over excited when he strawmans the theists as hard as he strawmans me. And many people probably haven't been on the wrong side of him yet. I went years of liking him obliviously until we actually had a disagreement and I quickly realized what it's like actually trying to have a discussion with him.
I guess, from the sidelines he doesn't look so bad. When you actually see how constantly he strawmans you, it's easy to spot.
Also, theism is so silly that a strawman of theism isn't much sillier than theism... so it's hard for him to make theists look any sillier even if they are constantly having to take his foot out of their mouth lol. They'll still notice though (apart from the really stupid ones like Drich).
I voted Tiberius for best debater. He's about 8 million levels above Khem in a debate.
