Evidence for atheist claims

And now.... let the bullshit flinging begin!

We should throw purple and Rik in a pit to see who lasts longer.

When it's a theist versus an atheist, the theist just keeps talking bollocks until the atheist gets sick of them and leaves, and then the theist "wins". How would two theists work?

He's a yoga master is our Prikky, so he'll be as flexible as a Romanian gymnast, unfortunately for him, the silly cunt is also 77 years old so his best years are definitely behind him.

I am speedbumping the thread because I am sick to the back teeth of all the infantile personal insults being flung around. There are plenty of forums where this behaviour is acceptable, lauded even. Anyone who wants to indulge their inner baby is encouraged to go there instead. We value our reputation too much to compromise on integrity.

In other words, pack it in. Capisce?

Ol'Stimbonator is right guys. I have tried to give clues, but here is the deal, little rik and others like him, are well within the rules. They only thrive on people replying to them, to give a random reply, and so on ad nauseum.

Then people start breaking the forum rules, the staff gets angry and believe me, you should let sleeping dogs doing just that. If you notice LR doesnt span trough multiple threads, and his replies, incoherent they may be, only are directed at thise that bother with him. By giving LR attention, we are giving him a very undeserved legitimacy on this forum.

Hell is a state of mind but this state can and will one day have to change because nobody like
to live in such a state.
The only permanent thing is the cosmic mind behind this illusion but let us come to your hell.
Once you leave your dead body (when you die so to speak) you can not possibly end up in an hell in which you suffer physically.
You only have YOU your consciousness.
The old body has been left behind to rot so how can you possibly feel physical pain?

If we don't have bodies in the afterlife, then what are these near-death EXPERIENCES supposed to be experiences of? If you don't have a body, then you don't have eyes to see any white light, no ears to hear spirits telling you things, no mouth with which to respond, and no skin to feel warm or cold. It would seem that by your account, all these NDEs are nothing but imaginings. How is an NDE proof of anything if the accounts are wholly imaginary, complete hallucinations?

That kind of argument falls short, since there is the belief in spirits being able to sense but not to interact with enviornment. I'm not subscribing to it, of course, but it's no argument at all.

I know they think spirits can sense but not interact, but in what capacity are they sensing without being equipped with SENSORY organs? I mean, hell, if you knock somebody in just the right spot in their head while alive, they can lose their ability to recognize language, color, shapes, even distort what music sounds like to them...and that's just partial system failure. What happens when the entire hard drive crashes and the processor is fried beyond repair? Maybe none of our people parts matter and people come back as cartoons. Just like Casper...What the hell was that about anyway? When he was alive, he was a regular dude. But when he came back as a ghost, he's an animated sperm with legs!

You're right, it falls short. But not because the argument is no good. The reasoning skills of those who hear it...those are no good! Around here, good arguments tend to fall straight on the short bus!
