What's the best way to shut up a theist?

RE: What's the best way to shut up a theist?
Ask them to define which God. Then ask them to provide evidence for it. If they cite bible versus, remind them the bible is a claim.

Ask her to prove her claims. That should shut her up.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?

Why would it? It doesn't shut the resident theists up. They just giggle, and make more unsupported claims.

If you're looking for some sort of satisfaction, don't. That's just the hook that will keep the dynamic going. If you don't want to continue the discussion, tell them so, and/or ask them to stop posting. As long as you want something out of the exchange, you're going to remain stuck.

Duct tape works. Although what you are describing can best be dealt with by ignoring her. It solves the problem and also helps you develop both a slightly thicker skin and some self-discipline, both of which will help you in other areas in your life.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Yeah it's just that she's so nice and at the same time so obnoxious. One moment she say's she likes my job and in the next she start's mentioning god even after I told her that I don't care what she believes.

That's a psychological trick right? Has to be because it is the reason why I hesitate to say that to her.

well just tell her something like, "i appreciate your intentions but i dont not have the same beliefs that you have so please do not post anything more about ones beliefs."

it isn't in our nature to think of a God, it is in our nature to seek answers and the concept of God is most influenced in this world.

You designed and upkeep the website? I’d block her IP then. I’m all for healthy dialogue and debate. This person sounds like an obnoxious evangelist, who is more than likely ‘motivated’ by believing she will end up in heaven the more new ‘recruits’ she steers towards God. There’s a big difference between someone who is polite and wants to share their faith, and another person who just randomly spews religious stuff all over the internet. You’re not the only site she’s doing this with, no doubt.

Nothing you ‘say’ will make her stop. She wants that, actually. She wants you to engage with her. I wouldn’t and I’d block her IP.
