Atheism worships a dead god.

[TheDarkestOfAngels]

We had a Christian troll of sorts who wanted to debate the atheists in the IRC. I started to respond but then realize, I'd rather be working on my Dragon*con schedule. The person was acting like a pain, stating practically everything I said was emotional. I told the person he/she is welcome to post the debate in the forums. The conversation amounted to this person making blanket statements, and claiming that any response we made was an emotional response, and then absconding after stating his/her conclusions. Granted I did kick the person a couple of times, but I was trying to get the Christian to go to the forums. :/ We haven't had a very dense theist for some time, figured you guys might like the fodder.

Oh well, you know, crazy people and all.
They like to assume that because you've chosen not to debate and they're fired up get on their opressive master's good graces, that means you're avoiding him because you're wrong and won't engage him and not at all because you're doing something or whatever.

Classic troll psychology.

Not to sound like a 15 year old who thinks his parents hate him because he or she is 'too real' for decent clothing and studying, but many of those christian types just don't understand us or anything outside of the belief system they were indoctrinated into, much less the scientific explainations, ideas, and theories for all the things they tend to rally against.

Someone really should find some of the documentation on effective methods of de-brainwashing people and post them around here somewhere so when confronted by some of the more wingnutty theists, there might be some effective method of bringing... ... you know when you watch too much star trek when you almost unconciously say 'bringing order to chaos' but I'll actually say rationality to irrationality.

Of course, it's either that or fire, but I know I shouldn't solve all my problems with fire.
