You've become awfully calm after a hysterical few posts towards me.

That's my prerogative. And right now based on the shit you've flung my way, I don't feel like answering your questions.

He is yanking us. He has to be. The alternative is too scary to consider. (Appeal to consequences fallacy.)

You're a shithead, Delicate. You're a fucking shithead. You're also an asshole. You're a fucking asshole. I was able to tell this just from reading the title of this thread. In fact, it was the title alone that elicited this strong emotional response toward you. Not because I found the title offensive, but because the title's sole aim is to be offensive. A side effect is that I don't give a shit what else you have to say, because I already know you're a fucking asshole and can ignore everything else. Could be that you made one hell of an argument in the following OP, but you made damn sure I won't give a fuck about it, and in doing so, you have elevated yourself to the level of an Internet troll. Congrats?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Deflection failed. 

Your feigned outrage isn't tripping anyone up. To go through so much trouble, clearly indicates that you are in fact, Catholic. 

Now we can look a little more closely into this "evidence" you refuse to produce.
Won't that be nice?

The Old Theists are back, and would still rather attack atheism as incorrect before establishing any of their claims as correct.

Oh and how can a new atheist be back? Doesnt that defeat the purpose of one being 'new'?

Im sorry, but for that error ive decided to disregard all of the other arguments the author of the article makes, its only fair we extend your own reasoning for Daniel Dennet to the author of the article you so eagerly linked us as attempt to dismiss any further arguments on behalf of Daniel.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.

That's actually a fair observation. Maybe that is the kind of religion some people escaped.

But that doesn't make religion wrong. Just weird fundamentalism wrong.

Resorting to atheism is like going from one extreme to another

Wow, you have a total misunderstanding of what atheism is.
You are so wrong so very very wrong. I could could tell you why till I'm blue as a smurf but you just want your strawman to be intact so you can attack it.



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