Strong Atheism starts from faith

[tavarish]

If you can't see the difference between that and a fairytale tavarish then I'm worried for you. The burden of proof lies with anyone making a positive claim is my understanding. My logical position is built upon in depth consideration of data presented. I can and have related those to you and continue to form and consider my logical position.

A minority of Christians do think, mistakenly in my honest opinion, that some of the bible should be taken literally. To me, and a majority of sane people, the errors in their thinking is glaringly obvious.

Funny thing is, you haven't provided any data. None. I even asked you what subjective experiences you had and you ignored the question. Then you say my rejection of your God claim is illogical? Seriously, read what you write before you reply.

On your minority claim:

The 2004 survey of religion and politics in the United States identified the evangelical percentage of the population at 26.3 percent while Roman Catholics are 22 percent and mainline Protestants make up 16 percent.[22] In the 2007 Statistical Abstract of the United States, the figures for these same groups are 28.6 percent (evangelical), 24.5 percent (Roman Catholic), and 13.9 percent (mainline Protestant.) The latter figures are based on a 2001 study of the self-described religious identification of the adult population for 1990 and 2001 from the Graduate School and University Center at the City University of New York.[23] A 2008 study showed that in the year 2000 about 9 percent of Americans attended an evangelical service on any given Sunday.[24]

A majority are Evangelical, who place great importance on Biblical literalism.


Listen, man. Your avatar clown looks bad ass but your points don't make sense and you dance around topics, spew "logical fallacies ZOMG" while you call me crazy for seeing parallels between fairy tales and your man in the sky. You get into a reasoned debate, but bring nothing but illogic, assumption, circular reasoning, and subjective experiences.

Sometimes it makes me feel good that many people, like yourself, can accept something on the basis that it doesn't make sense, and continue to perpetuate it with their own brand of batshit insanity. It means there is lots of money to be made if you know how to sell your product.

You do whatever makes you feel good. Call it an ad hominem attack, I'm addressing you personally, based on the stuff you continue to post. You seem like a generally articulate person, it's a shame you're stuck trying to put a square in a triangle shaped hole.
