Some hate god. So they say they don't believe in a god that would allow some tragedy or evil to befall them earlier in life. Why didn't god protect me from that? Howcould a good god allow that to happen to us?
Some get so caught up in their own selves, that they look for reasons to deny a god that asks us to think of others first. I want to buy that yacht and have sex with as many as I can at a time, and never have to go to church... So out of necessity they have to deny god to clear their conscience.
Others are intellectual, and too smart for their own good. They think if they can't measure itor sense it or decide it it's not there. So they deny god on an intellectual basis. I'm so smart I won't be fooled by the deity fallacy! Hahaha. Look at me,I'm enlightened. Then they like to look down on any card carrying Christian.iwish they could engage one of the thousands of intellectually superior theologians and religious we have today. Iwish they could have engaged pope John Paul the great. Or Benedict. Take a visit to fr. Robert Barron. Or tweet him. Email Peter kreeft at BC. Or Scott Hahn at Franciscan U.
You know for someone snidely mocking atheists for acting intellectually superior to Christians...
...You're doing a very good job of supporting the notion that it's not an act.
Now, I too wish I could have engaged in debate with any of those "intellectually superior" individuals, just so I could show what a sham they are. As long as they had to adhere to one of the most important stipulations of debate [no fallacious arguments allowed], I would happily debate them. The problem is, debating with someone who is so self-convinced of something without the ability to even question the possibility that they could be wrong is an exercise in maddening frustration and sheer pointlessness.
So far, you've done nothing but ad hom and strawman.
Do you have anything of any intellectual merit to add to the discourse? Or do you just have the usual brainless, vacant-eyed, slack-jawed mouth-breathing neaderthal cultist delusional state of mind like so many other bible-humpers? So far, I think it's the latter.
