She refuses to engage on this, and many topics.
Secondly, there was nothing to engage, Esquilax posted.

If you want an example of "refusing to engage", here is Esquilax using redirection tactics.

Just not atheists with their big red A, right?
Quote:These atheists on the other have nothing better to do than to build a display celebrating the "Bill of rights" (lol), Surrounded by the founding fathers (all slave owners) in honor of a roman god.
The christians have nothing better to do than build a display celebrating the "birth of the savior" (lol), surrounded by religious iconography (of a genocidal god) in honor of a middle eastern god.
Quote:And of course you, of all people, come to their defense.
They don't require defense, since you haven't offered a cogent offense.
Quote:Since atheists always stress their moral superiority (humanists), how about instead of spending money on a display that means nothing, donate it to the nearest soup kitchen.
The same could be asked of every christian church, megachurch, religious display, ten commandments monument, or ark park across the world. And that "moral superiority" claim goes double for christians.
Quote:Also why don't I ever see atheists protesting Islam? I guess it must be the whole fatwā thing.
You're not paying attention, which, after reading these arguments, doesn't surprise me. Every single one of your points could also be turned on the demonstrably larger christian apparatus, and yet you apparently have no trouble seeing the reasons why they do as they do... just not willing to spend even an iota of thought doing the same for a position you don't agree with, huh?
Ah well, it's hardly the only thing you don't think about, I'm sure.
