Questions for both sides.
#32
RE: Questions for both sides.
First off, Thank you guys very much for keeping it rational Big Grin

I apologize for some of the vagueness in a few of the questions and for as Mister Agenda put it, possibly coming off as a prejudiced bigot.

I didn't meant mean to come off as trying dictate the course and nature of the discussion, I'm just not very good at properly explaining what I mean through writing at times ><. I just didn't want to typical cats versus dogs fight in which nothing is really debated and there's just a lot of snarling and bickering.

As for my misguided view on atheists, let's just say that the only experience I've had with those who labeled themselves as atheists were the ones who were more extreme. One person that I encountered was the hard-line atheist equivalent of the crazy preachers that walk around condemning everyone to hell.

The reason I brought up the FSM argument was not because I believe it's invalid but rather that it fails to really convince anyone who isn't already in favor of the argument, at least for the most part.

Part of my mistake was that I expected there to be more theists and level 7 (not sure if that's the right way to describe it?) atheists on the forum.

As for the whole why not believe in the FSM/Pink unicorn I'll go with the 6 rating on the spectrum as a response to that.

Thanks again all for the responses and the few welcomes scattered throughout and sorry for the long post. (Not sure what you mean by introduction thread? I'm assuming you mean my first? New to this kinda of thing sorry)

And Kayenneh, I'm still waiting in dread for the day Cthulhu wakes up ;P
