Not to say that anyone is stupid, but comments by many illustrate ignorance to a far greater degree then enlightenment. In all honesty I thought higher of atheist before coming to this board. You guys seemed more rational and less pathological beforehand; this site has dispelled that anecdotal notion for me.
Hahaha I understand the feeling. Thinking that I will be talking to some logical and reasonable people, I have never hear so much shit about religion on an atheist board!!! Hell, I have to look at the damn title of this sit to make sure I am in the right place.

Hahaha YES!!! That seems to be the only criteria for their arguments and nothing more.

HA YES

Yes, which is something that I am finding to be very common in this country. No one knows how to have an objective, unbiased discussion that one’s personal experiences or feeling is not present. What is so amazing is that many one this board lay claim to conform or consider reason, rationality, logic, sciences, or common senses in their way of thinking. Yet, it is these components of rationality, that are used to form an intellectual idea, that demands that the individuals feelings are to not be present during the examination, discussing and coming to a critical conclusion. Relational objectivism is to constantly fight to keep clear or free from biases, personal feelings to never be incorporated into rational discussion or research because it will always taint the conclusion

What is exhibited instead is self projection under the name of empathy to such a degree that endeavoring to discuss logically about a topic in a non-self projecting manner is met with accusations of self projecting ("it is hard to believe others do not do what you, yourself do in the situation"). So learned something while here... hardly and unlikely.
HAHAHAHA, don’t forget condescending!!
