[split]Atheism is based of ignorance.

RE: [split]Atheism is based of ignorance.
Quote:Atheism is based of ignorance.

I don't know what this god thing is supposed to be.
As far as i can tell it's a very poorly defined concept. With the best anyone getting is some nebulous "necessary being" or "exists out side of time and space" woo that means jack shit.

Quote:Ignorance is a state of being uninformed (lack of knowledge)

And so is everyone else.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

RE: [split]Atheism is based of ignorance.
You are a pompous ass by your op SOC, I say evidence or fuck off.
And yes it is better to be ignorant of a answer and aware that you do not know, then to be convinced of a answer that is wrong.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

To play devil's advocate for a minute, this was a kind of unfortunate thread split, and Swordy was replying to a post long lost to the mists of time, rather than just stirring shit. It sounds harsher than he probably meant it to, taken on its own.

He's still wrong, and only gets more wrong the more he posts, but, hey. Tongue

I read a good bit of Sword's replies and frankly it boils down to the classics of theist arguments. God is in the background working his will and can't be proven/dis-proven through science, the big bang and evolution are bullshit because it's "unlikely" therefore it was intelligent design. etc.

All a bunch of faith based, reality rejecting bull with a slew of straw men as his backup.

Take heart in the knowledge that reality has forced christianity so far back that the only thing they have left to argue is essentially a defense mechanism, the equivalent of just saying "nuh uh!" in like eighty times the number of words.

That being out of the way, my atheism is based on an internal skepticism coupled with a study of religious claims and arguments for the existence of god, a background in university-level philosophy courses, and an understanding that one cannot prove existential things by means of theology and philosophy, no matter how deeply or piously one thinks about them.

You're 22, like me????

Suddenly, I feel very inadequate Sad haha.

Funny, I felt the same way upon learning that Lemonvariable was our age too. Tongue Perhaps we should start some kind of young person's inadequacy club, where we can all meet and discuss how much further along we feel we should be, at our age. Big Grin

How in the hell have I never heard of this Sword of Christ character?!?


This dunderhead's name is kind of awesome because he is:
Sword of Christ
Yeah ....
Definitely Sort-of Christ



Fucking Beautiful isn't it ... when you believe that your particular deity lives inside your head you really are, 'Sort-of Christ.'

Thumb up
