Why is that not significant?In the end, no, it isn't. But why would that matter, as you were just babbling about naming people - nothing more. You aren't any good at this at all.
Quote:In the atheist world, you can call yourself a free thinker because you repeat what some coffee table view of religion says. I think that is incredibly ironic, and even more ironic that you can't catch the error.No...strodel....no, no, no, no, lol. Firstly I don't have a coffee table, or any coffee table books. I rely on -you- strodel. The things -you- say, the things your fellow believers say - that's where my appraisal of your religion comes from. Remember that the next time you open your mouth about a fucking god.
Quote:The reason is plain as day, none of you are serious thinkers, you are all under 25 and you havn't read more than maybe 5 books about the subject you are talking about, none of them serious scholarly books.It would be nice to be under 25 again. Tell you what, call your genie up and see if he can arrange that?
Quote:You aren't taking the time to seriously investigate the nature of your objections to Christianity, you are just repeating objections that other people have come up with.My objections are simple. There is no evidence, and it's a disgusting faith.
Quote:If you weren't lazy people with no character and a lack of an honest spirit, you would read the strongest and most potent defenses of Christianity, you would study online who the authors are (such as NT Wright, Bruce Metzger, Alvin Plantinga, William Lane Craig or more at a popular level Lee Strobel, FF Bruce wrote a popular level book, CS Lewis again at the popular level).When you're done fantasizing about me I'll remind you that naming your favorite authors won't do anything to establish any proposition you may make. CS Lewis has a decent quote though, about "omnipotent moral busybodies", so- credit where it's due.
Quote:But I bet you will respond back with a crude, naked assertion about how religion is a "delusion", instead of explain why if you are a thinker committed to logic, you should not use logic in everything that you do, not only where it helps you disprove religion but in assessing the validity of the claims defending the Christian religion.Typical christian shitwit. Claims that there is a defense of christianity - fails to offer it.
