I don't get why religious types come to this forum if they aren't interested in serious discussion. They must know that an atheist pays no attention to bible verses or baseless assertions. Do they think if they do it just one more time atheists are gonna suddenly cave? What's the deal-io.
There are some that contribute in a thoughtful way, but I gotta say, a lot of posts I see on here I can't even be bothered to reply to. It's a shame people can't think for themselves more, tell us what their opinion is rather than what someone else says or some book says. And, like, a coherent argument would be nice. I feel like they have admitted that there are no rational arguments that can be made, so they result to an apologist toolkit of:
Deceit, logical fallacies, nonsense, deflection, (willful) ignorance, ignoring evidence, circular reasoning... it's not the tool kit of an honest argument, but rather smacks of desperation.
I'm not having a go at the people themselves, just pointing out what level most of the theistic "arguments" have sunk to.
