Evil Atheists

[Statler Waldorf]

Did I say it was wrong? I just said you were.

Why did you say I was if it were not wrong? Were you complimenting me?

Actually, you said "whatever unsubstantiated claim I am making today." The only claim against you I made today -- prior to this ridiculous back and forth -- is that you are rude, which was easily substantiated. The dishonest thing was another thread. I can always count on you to convolute everything.

Lack of basic comprehension seems to be one of your shortcomings. I said that because you have a history of making unsubstantiated claims such as the one about me being dishonest the other day, so I was poking fun by saying you seems to make at least one a day.

My apologies. Religion. At any rate, I did not bring it up. I discussed it when it became part of the discussion. My initial post and later posts did not introduce the topic to this discussion.

Apology accepted. Granted you did not introduce it, other atheists did, but my point was that it should have never been even discussed because it had nothing to do with the OP and I didn’t understand why all the atheists (including you) kept pushing the discussion there.

Perhaps in your opinion, but it is hardly esteemed, so I believe I am safe from stigma.

My opinion has nothing to do with it; the laws of rational thinking demonstrate that you are irrational.

We must have certain rules in place so that we may live together. Morality is a byproduct of civilization.

Do we make those rules based off of something that is “good” or does something become “good” once it is adopted as a rule by a society?

You're saying that over the course of our natural lives, we will all do things that warrant being tortured for eternity - do you honestly believe that?

I believe that’s what he is saying and yes I am sure he believes it as do I.

I agree of course that we all do things we shouldn't, but does the punishment fit the crime?

Yes, crimes against a being with infinite authority warrant infinite punishment.

I don't think I've ever done anything bad enough to warrant that. Have you?

Actually yes you have and so have I.

You do not use the Bible as your source of morality, no matter what you claim. I am almost certain of it. If you do, then perhaps you would deserve eternal torture.

You just made a whole point about how eternal torture does not fit the crime and then you proceed to say that basing one’s own moral views upon God’s revealed word deserves eternal torture? What gives?
