Atheism and Purpose

[Edward the Theist]

@Edward_The_Theist the color of the sky is something everyone agrees on. I understand why someone would walk away from a conversation with you if you asked them to prove the sky was blue: they probably thought you were crazy and walked away. you don't have to be a scientist to say that the sky is blue. What is the connection between being closed minded and accepting the consensus that the sky is blue?

Concrete thinking is for children, so why don't you stop with it already. The point is not about the sky being blue. The point is about the concept of proof in general.

It's about atheists who go around proudly boasting that "science is the only truth!" When the opinions of scientists change with each and every journal article. No one agrees on anything in the wonderful world of "science." Besides, all science is anymore is grant proposals and what they can get the government to sponsor so it will pay their salaries. Trust me, "science" can't afford to search for truth. "Science" searches for whatever results ensure more grant money. Period. If you have the money, you can get the science.

You go around beating up on the Christian god, and it makes you look stupid. Of course that god doesn't exist. How long are atheists going to keep banging that drum? Until there's no Christian Church? Great, good luck with that. I criticize atheists for not having a definition of that which they don't believe in and you come across in response with a five-year-old's concrete cognition about the blue of the sky . And you still want me to think you're intellectual? You might as well be burning atheist prayer candles.

You say you don't believe in God. What pray tell is this God you don't believe in? Define it. I'll bet you can't. I'll be no one in here can. I'll be no one in here thinks past the concept of the Sunday School god when they think about that which they don't believe in.

I've said it before; I'll say it agian, your intellect, anyone's intellect, is defined by that which they are superior to. If all you got is a disbelief in the Christian god and nothing in its place, you're just one notch up from the toothless hillbilly stompin-and-a-praisin in the First Church of the Third Revelation.

Excuse my rant. I'm kind of addressing you and about fifty other people in here at the same time.

Okay, the floor is yours (unless you're going to start challenging me about what floor, where floor, what do I mean...floor).
