Religious moderates enable religious extremists

[DLJ]

Yep. That's... that's exactly what was said. You got us. You win. That's absolutely the words that were said to you. Yes.

Can you hear the swoosh of the point I made go flying clear over your head? I've heard the "if religion didn't exist" argument before and yes there was a time when it didn't.

Maybe you missed Esquilax's point that you were creating a little man made of straw / putting words in our mouths etc.

But it's good that you have realised and conceded that religions (and by extension, their gods) are inventions of our pithecoidal ancestors.

Bravo, sir, bravo!

Highlighted bit... I agree.

"Then you are lost"

Also, one thing is for sure, the ultimate form of human evolution won't be human.

A direction to evolution is there? You do know you have destroyed your own argument/agenda here? It's like watching a train crash in slow motion seeing atheists tie themselves up in knots like this.

Again, nice try.

It always amuses me when an online theist creates an imaginary homogeneous atheist.

What was my argument? Do I have an agenda?

Oh! I can't wait for you to tell me what that is.

While you are about it, how many fingers am I holding up?

And yes, evolution does have a direction. Many in fact. And all of them are forwards!

Direction =/= destination.

Try reading again and then come back with a decent response. But I don't need one. I was being rhetorical.

Having a conversation with someone who clutches at straw men is tedious.
