Contradictions in "rational" thought

[Zen Badger]

Since you are apparently having trouble understanding whythese are not contradictory statements. Let's examine the christian statements to to which these are usually used as responses......

Xtian statement;
"god loves me and cares about me"

Argument A: What makes you think the God of a univrse would care about a little speck like you? Don't be arrogant

xtian statement;
"god is all powerful and all loving"

Argument B: Why doesn't your God show himself to us and stop evil?

xtian statement;
"god loves us all"

Argument A: Your God is too intolerant

I have to say I've never heard any atheist utter this comment;

Argument B: Your God saves an awful lot of stupid, arrogant people.

Usually it's more along the lines of "god doesn't care what sort of utter bastard you are as long as you are prepared to kiss his arse for the rest of eternity", or some such.

Again, no atheist would make this comment. As has been pointed out numerous times, none of them are right.

Argument A: Christians are so divided, I can't figure out which denomination is right

So it doesn't actually contradict your next statement at all....

Argument B: Christians should think for themselves.

Some do, most don't. The ones that do usually end up as atheists.

Maybe you guys should get my whole list and hold a council, before the faithful figure out that maybe "rational thought" is in the mind of the beholder, and that assuming otherwise is more dangerous than becoming a Christian

Why? if the rest of your "examples" are as vacuous as these I think we're well ahead of the game


So when viewed in their proper context; i.e as responses to bullshit xtain claims of how wonderful their imaginary friend is.
It can be clearly seen that these are not contradictory at all.
