Theists: Hitchens Wager

[chimp3]

The Bible states that if a man rapes a woman he should marry her to make things right.

Yes. At the time this was written (which was several thousands of years ago) marrying the person you raped was a step towards a moral awakening and moral responsibility. Because back then, women who were raped were considered impure and were pretty much either left for the wolves or killed.

The Old Testament needs to be taken in the context of what it meant for the people of the time. It represents a moral awakening. This does not mean rape is or ever was objectively good.

That is a twisted revisionist excuse for a historical moral travesty.  It belittles you to try and aplogise for the moral failures of the past.

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.

If you can be oblivious for years, what does that say about your ability to look at things objectively? That's a blind spot probably worth some self-reflection.  

How important do you think critical thinking skills are to Poker?
