Antitheism
#31
RE: Antitheism
I suppose I'm an Anti-Theist. Because if anyone ever managed to convince me the Christian God was real, i still wouldn't worship Yahweh, Jesus, or Casper.

Maybe some fringe religion could convince me to join them. But none of the major religions for sure.

RE: Antitheism
If I was ever convinced that the Christian God was real I think I'd have a nervous breakdown and never recover.

I mean if you think about what it implies....

Quote:Nope. Re-read my post. I'm not anti theist or even anti-theism...
I think you're just dumb, since you seem to think antitheism and antitheist aren't words describing the same state of mind.

And that applies to everyone, not just theists.
That also means you're anti-government, anti-laws, anti-education, and so on. You're basically an anarchist, is what it means.

Quote:I'm a weak atheist and I'm not an anti-theist. So close but no cigar. Wait! What do I mean close but no cigar?! You got me 100% wrong!

You claimed god doesn't exist. That makes you a strong atheist.

You described your self as anti-religion and furthermore you talked about God in very unflattering terms. That makes you an antitheist.

RE: Antitheism
If we're ever convinced, perhaps we can do all we can to discover how to defeat this god. Maybe the devil would be willing to cut a deal. I hear he's afraid of Iron Chariots. What about Steel Tanks? Steel is tougher than Iron. Also really tall buildings.

At least I'm smart enough to not make the logical fails that you do constantly.

No it doesn't. Ridiculous generaliation. The fact I'm against having beliefs shoved down my throat doesn't mean I'm against government, laws and education. How fucking black and white thinking can you be? WTF.

Quote:You claimed god doesn't exist. That makes you a strong atheist.

I believe God is highly improbable. I don't think God exists. I do believe there is no God but not with 100% certainty, I can't prove a negative. I don't claim to know that God doesn't exist, just as I don't claim to know that Santa doesn't exist. This makes me a weak/agnostic atheist.

Hello Mr. Ridiculous Generalization.

I think you should change your name to Excitably Pigeonholing.

RE: Antitheism
You know how you sometimes won't engage a more stupid person because you already know you won't be able to change their minds about anything? Well, it takes a lot for me to reach that point. But you've finally made me reach that point with you. Why disabuse you if you don't even want to be disabused.

I don't actually think you believe I'm stupid I think you're just disappointed in me and you think I'm stubbornly disagreeing with you but I think you're oblivious of your own stubbornness and don't realize that I'm considering everything you say and responding to it, I'm not being stubborn unlike yourself who appears to see any disagreement as an attack and be closed off to alternative view points, you seem to project your own offense onto others and say things like how I'm "overreacting" while overreacting yourself and leaving penguin shit anywhere.

Of course if it's easier for you to believe that you believe I'm stupid, sure go ahead and continue to meta-believe that when deep down I think you know there's no way I'm fucking stupid.

Of course if you do think I'm stupid then I have no idea why. I can understand a lot of things, I think at least to an average level... Not wanting to claim to be above average intelligence because I know of no objective measure of it anyway.

I never assume what the other person thinks and I never commit ad hominems against them looking for public approval. I always address the argument first. I engage in rational conversation. A lot of people here, including you, start attacking, smearing and misrepresenting me in the middle of the conversation, instead of continuing to have a discussion.
