Modal Argument: The Mind is Not the Brain

[pocaracas]

So are the beliefs of every theist on this forum... so what?
It's just that theirs are a bit more irrational...

Surely if you sit with your thumb up your ass when people insult theists, you should do the same for everything I say.

I should?
That's not in the job description... I looked it up.

Do you believe one cannot shine a critical light on atheist's claims equal to the one that is shined on theists?

For the millionth time... atheists don't make claims.... ok, some may make a few, but not in general.
For the most part, an atheist is a person who does not see enough reason to accept the claim that a god exists.
If and when someone presents enough reason to accept that, the atheist becomes a theist... In my personal case, I foresee very little chance of that happening in my lifetime. But hey... who knows?...

There is a minority of atheists who actually claim that god does not exist. They're usually adamant concerning a specific god claim or a few of them. At some point, they must extrapolate to all god claims. Perhaps they're right. It's intuitively very likely that they are. But who knows?...

As for you... keep shining the light, but try not to be a cunt about it... and try not to keep misrepresenting the people who actually identify themselves as atheists.
