What many atheists feel like with theists logic.

[Brian37]

"In all this excitement, I forgot how many fallacies of yours I destroyed. Since scientific method is the most powerful tool that can blow your sky hero claim clean off, you have to ask your self, "Do I feel lucky? Well do you punk?"

I ask myself similar questions:

"Do you understand what a logical fallacy is yet, punk?"

"Do you care whether or not your reasoning is sound, punk?"

"Are you actually trying to convince anyone of anything, or just trying to reassure yourself, punk?"

.....see, you guys are lucky.  For me, there's just this terrible feeling that we're all perched on the event horizon of a god shaped black hole..........

The technical term for that is "Jew Hole".

Before any Jew or Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist or whatever, gets bent out of shape, the attack is on your logic, not your human rights. I am simply giving believers a humorous idea of what you look like to us. I still value human rights, but sometimes what comes out of your mouth mentally makes us want to pull our hair out.

My biggest wonder is what some theists are actually doing here, at all. I have great respect and fondness for the ones that genuinely join the community. But for the rest, I can only conclude they are here to reassure themselves. They can't seriously be expecting to convince anyone of anything. If they are, they're taking entirely the wrong approach. By (mostly) making no effort at all to understand what logic is, and why it's important, they are ensuring that everything they say will have zero persuasive power to any sceptic. So what's the point? Are they hoping for easily manipulated or weak minded people to convert?

[Brian37]

Or this line.

We've definitely had a preacher or two, apparently we're part of someones ministry, or many someones ministries......idk how it all works, divine MLM thing, never got a brochure.  That shit is the worst.

"Respect" that is a topic for another thread. I hate that word, it is so loaded, and mostly never used as the user asking for it intends. Most of the time it is merely used to stop a conversation and really means "Don't bruise my ego" or "Know your place in your social order".

I say "value" instead. I value human empathy, but equal to that is the ability to demonstrate what you claim is true beyond your own personal bias.   I will always value human rights, even the right to make claims I find absurd. But I also value my right to respond to those claims.
