Ill he respond? Maybe you guy should take it easy on him, he's never met many atheists before and has only heard of us through third hand information
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.

Someone who claims that no one can say anything doesn't exist because by saying that thing we're acknowledging it exists, is either:

1. extremely dishonest, or

2. has never read anything, spoken to anyone, used his head, etc etc, I can go on.

Yeah but if he is a undmentalist christian he has probably had that thinking rammed up his ass from birth, I condescending as this may sound this poor guy has never been taught to think in his life, so he needs to be taught from square one like a child.

The Poe said in his heart, "denying God or accepting that there is no God you have already acknowledged the fact that there is a God."

I sure hope so.

Because it certainly would be sad that someone could be even further away from anything resembling logic, reason, and critical thinking than the other Christians that post here.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Somehow I doubt he is. There are many Christians like this, it is a sad fact of indoctrination and what really disturbs me is that this poor soul can go through his entire life like this.

I called "poe" on page two. I also called "troll" in the same post. I guess he got scared off?
