MERGED: The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (Part 1) & (Part 2)

[Thumpalumpacus]

Did you say "I came to my atheism using my own fallacious reasoning"?

That's what I got out of it

"Reading comprehension, people."

Bias as in... if I see someone is trying to defend God, I know through experience they are going to produce a flawed argument. It is of the same level of certainty that a ball will drop when I release it. I'm happy to look at and dissect the argument of course.

So it's not so much bias, as a total lack of confidence in any such arguments being of any value. The day I see a good one, I'll change my stance.

Once you see a certain person put forward 5 terrible arguments say, or misunderstand the premise of what they are arguing about, then it's reasonable to stop listening to them completely, on that subject at least.

So as Parkers says, if it is bias, it's not irrational bias.

The first time I read one of His_Masturbatory's posts, I read it through and gave it consideration. The second, where he ignored objections and only repeated his yammerings, I read faster.

But now, after his metric shit-tons of effluvium, I know right away that when a post has his screen-name at the top, I'll be getting a heaping helping of bullshit. He's dug himself such a hole that not only will no one here take him seriously -- if he went to another atheist forum and tried to be decent and reasonable, any one of us could torpedo him simply by linking to this output.

Is that bias? Sure. Because I'm biased against fucking idiots.

Sue me.
