Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheists Criticizing Religion

[Angrboda]

Still caught in the echo chamber, eh?

Delicate's recent return prompted me to remember this thread. The above was my analysis, back on page 1. Unless I missed it, Delicate never did say what other point the article is making although he implied we were all stupid for not seeing what that point was.

Did I miss anything? I would actually regain some respect for Delicate if it was admitted there actually is no point and this thread was a bad idea.

You did miss something. Namely it's not that SOME atheists make bad arguments but that A LOT do. And it's prevalent in atheist idols. I can't think of a single intelligent atheist overlord who doesn't make some outright false claims.

So I just underestimated the extent of your well-poisoning. I see you've learned absolutely nothing since being here. It's a shame, because you could learn a lot. But not with your attitude. Your religious mindset is so ingrained that you cannot imagine someone not being a part of a hierarchy of dogma. For the last time, we don't care what any particular atheist says. Take it up with them, not us.

Sure, some atheists may choose to dogmatically follow another atheist. That's up to them, and again it's not reflective of us nor our responsibility to address it. Anyone who dogmatically follows anyone to the point of abandoning their own brain is stupid.

It's not well poisoning if it weren't a fact. But it is. At least I can show it.

I give up.

Merry Christmas!

The major problem with you has always been your statement of providing without the exact delivery.

Therefore, fuck you.

Divorced from metaphysics of being, scientific inquiry of the natural world yields story about a set of accidental features but not the essential natures of beings.

What do you mean by this phrase of yours, "essential natures", and how do you arrive at that perception, filtered as it is through your own brain? How do you know that you aren't yourself seeing accidental features imparted by your own filters?

What makes your standpoint special? And how can another observer arrive at that standpoint without imbibing your preconceived notions?

And even if he could show it, it's irrelevant. Again. I don't care if Dawkins, Harris etc. said nothing but filthy lies all day long. It has nothing to do with me, or any other atheist. Hence well-poisoning. Unless Delicate is a Muslim because millions of theists are Muslim, of course.

Fixed that for you. And no, it still would be well poisoning, Mr. "Forum Logician and Philosophy Enthusiast".

I see you're still clueless about the social dynamics you're caught in. Happy trails, monsieur genius.

If you want proof why don't you just go to google and type in pagan satanism.

Because the Internet proves everything!

Pull yer head ou -- I say, pull yer head out, son.

Okay...I am no great intellect or logicist, but I'm calling bullshit on all that philosophical rubbish.

My expressed view aligns with that of Karl Popper, the philosopher of science, who first formulated the falsifiability test. You stand as a representative of those atheists who cry bullshit when a theist says something they do not understand.

Who agrees with you -- or rather, who you cite -- doesn't matter. What matters is veracity, and that is shown by the real world.

You cannot philosophize nothingness into being, no matter your verbal gymnastics.
