Argument from evil, restated

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Oh, so circular reasoning works because circular reasoning works, right?

Just so I know we're on the same page.

Please, do go on, you were assuming (asserting) I'm [we're] living a life of despair? I do so like being told what im thinking/feeling.

Read up on the word 'parody', it might help you.

You can't just make a vacuous statement like "circular reasoning works because circular reasoning works.." You need to demonstrate the circularity of my position.
I assumed you were lliving in despair because you seemed so concerned about all the evil in the world that god would prevent if there were a god. But your argument was just a parody?? Of what, of whom. Are you saying that you rage at the unprevented deaths of thousands as a means of mocking a god you don't believe in; that you really don't care about the sufferings of this world; that you use tragic deaths as a jest. So why do you really not believe in god?

I think esquilax has made a pretty good reply to you. It seems odd that you ask for clarification of the circularity of your own point when it is so glaringly obvious. Curious, no?

But I'm sure you're very well versed in the finer nuances of debate, naturally, so asking me to demonstrate the obviousness of your own statement was, what, simply a little game you were playing? It was rather funny.

Anyway, it would appear that one needs to clarify also what I said when I indicated that you should look up the word 'parody'. Allow me to reference your earlier point made on page 14:

I've already said you're welcome to your despair and nihilism, why do you feel so threatened by belief in a god you believe does not exist.

You infer of the mark that we are somehow threatened by a deity we have no belief in. You do so again above ^^. I believe the issue is that you have mistaken parody for sincerity; I can assure you, nothing is further from the case. Believers in all the myriad of deities that have existed and exist to day often place facets of emotion, or philosophy, political science, desire, abilities and so on onto said deity. For example:

I said God works through us, helping us to make good choices.

God transforms the pain of those victims in his eternity.

God is not limited by our time and space

Now, naturally, as a believer you believe these things are true on faith, correct (for fear of putting words in other's mouths and assuming something that would be impossible to know)? As a person who lacks any belief in your chosen deity, including all the abilities you infer are true and correct (because of your faith - unless you have evidence?), it is easy to parody these beliefs into a way that both demonstrates our lack of belief and equally the absurdity of the initial inferences of, as above, feelings, emotions, abilities and so forth.

So no, in answer to your rather leading and way off the mark question that concludes your rather odd reply. 'Parody' good sir, shows that we are indeed concerned with the death in the world, and that we take it just as, if not more seriously, than a person who seeks to explain it away as the grace/will/side effect of creation of an invisible but all powerful deity this has, thus far (this can be changed, natirally), no evidence to support it. In parodying the beliefs, we raise objections and contentions about the beliefs and, importantly, the believer.

That you would assume that we feel nothing towards the deaths of people, including the deaths of people who we are close to and love, is another notch of the post that is labeled "beliefs and emotions that im going to mistakenly infer on someone else with poor judgement due to my desire to belittle those who disagree with me."

Will there be anymore? Who can tell. Perhaps your god?
