Quote:Yep. The only difference is that I actually believe "God" is reality. Whereas you, on the otherhand, are simply making a logical argument for the sake of itself.
No. I've simply demonstrated that you have no argument.
Quote:I doubt you actually believe that pixies are air.
It was a demonstration. The word 'air' has already been defined. Just as the word 'reality' has also been defined. You cannot change it. When you speak of god as reality, you only speak of
your version of reality. A reality where a god exists. Reality pretty much means what is real, factual. God is not. Call god 'reality' if you wish, that doesn't make it true. It doesn't change anything.
Your argument doesn't work. That's the thing. Redefining words does not in anyway support your beliefs. It changes nothing.
You are still at square one. Demonstrate that a god exists.
Fallacious arguments, they fail you every time.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Iraqis are actually Irish. I just think of Irish people as people from Iraq.

Atheism only exists because of religion. Truth exists because people lie.
We're just rubbing your nose in the mess you created.
btw - I also don't believe in dragons, is there a special word for me?

Religions need a set of beliefs. Atheism only has one. The lack of belief. And it lacks any kind of practices too.
It's as much as a religion as deism.

The problem is that you have your radical atheists that try to spread their ideology through insulting means.
