Comparing god to a Narcissist.

[Ravenshire]

let me give you an example of what I'm talking about.

Atheist: God is evil!
Christian: God isn't evil.. (gives reason)
Atheist: God doesn't exist!

Surely you can see how asinine that conversation is....

Let me give you an example of how it really goes down...
Atheist 1: That Voldemort fellow is quite the bastard isn't he.
Atheist 2: Yep. He's a real ass. So are the Malfoy's.
Atheist 1: Yeah, but Voldemort's the worst.
Christer: Guys, the Voldemort that I know in my heart and love is nothing like the one depicted in the book.
Atheist 1: Ehrmmm... You know he's not real, right?

We're (almost) always surprised when someone comes in here not understanding that we talk about gawd the same way we talk about Voldemort, Darth Vader, or any other fictional villain and our reaction is (almost) always going to be "You know it's not real, right?" Something you seem to forget, Huggies, is that we use a lot of informal shorthand here. I understand that when Judi (for example) calls gawd an asshole that she's not speaking of a real thing.

Here, I'll detail it out for you:
What Judi says: Gawds a right twat!
What I (and most here) hear: The gawd described in the buy-bull is a right twat.

You simply don't get the unspoken part because you're not a part of the atheist community, despite being a member of an atheist board. You go on and on about context, then forget (or ignore) the over-arching context here.

I would never presume to go to a theist board and tell them how to converse. Please show the same courtesy here.

And yes, gawd is a right twat!
