Quote:Since faith is believing in something in the absence of any evidence whatsoever, the last thing you want to do is use evidenceThinking
Come on mate. I advise you read some Christian apologetics, this statement is just plain wrong.
I find it funny Atheists think they are so rational and then we question why they think they are so rational, they use straw men to defend their rationality.

Me: So can you show me how you are more rational than me or any other theist?
Atheist: because I dont believe in the spaghetti monster, Zeus, fairies, Santa Claus or God or gods for that matter.
Me: You still fail to answer my question without resorting to straw men, what makes you more rational than me?
Quote:Religion is historically used to control and manipulate populations so yes, I am against it.At times, Religion can be a way to enlightenment. After all, isnt modern day science founded upon Christian scientists?
Quote:Why would I reject the notion of god if I met him/her/it? Irrefutable evidence has been presented,Well you are minority.
I must accept it, to do otherwise would be obtuse(much like creationists really).
Quote:Atheism is not about hatred or rejection of god/gods, it is just refusing to believe in something for which there is no evidence.In theory. Like Christians are supposed to love their neighbor and be nice people.
Most Atheists have this passion against religion or God, I dont really know why. I think they get confused between a fundamentalist and a rational theist.
Quote:Is that so hard for you to understand?
I have met some Atheists who are like you have described, but most are obnoxious and arrogant and arent seekers of the truth. If anyone says what they believe is more rational and concludes that everyone else should believe they believe, they are no longer a seeker of the truth. I have read quite a few posts in this forum and unfortunately a lot of atheists here arent seekers of the truth, its rather sad.
