Welcome!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I hope you can find what you're looking for here! Dismantling apologetics is one of our specialties. Thanks!
I know you meant ambidextrous  but lol all the same
I'm glad to find some specialists in dismantling apologetics. I thought about asking from friends of mine in SSA, but I'm not too comfortable divulging my personal life to them. Plus IRL conversations don't flow the same way online argumentative structures do. I like how forums can focus on the issue at hand.

Offer sis an asp and a glass of strychnine next time she's annoying.
 Damn, that's a little harsh. Sorry, but I still care about my sister. I just don't agree with her views. Her views haven't gotten extreme enough (yet) to where I don't see her as an important person in my life. She's not annoying or the kind of person to let her religious views dictate how she treats others. She's more of the kind that wants to spend her time/energy/money volunteering in third world countries, nonprofit groups, and soup kitchens. I just hope the new religious cult club she joined doesn't change her enough to where giving her strychnine seems appealing.

That's fourteen words, sir. Or twelve, depending on how literal you're being.
Your counting skills are even worse than your debate skills.
Anyway...
Welcome! You're in good company here, my friend. ![[Image: 2d90c0055797520b94a0cbeb677cfdbb.jpg]](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/2d/90/c0/2d90c0055797520b94a0cbeb677cfdbb.jpg)
what soul? You mean the super-computer built into the head of a meat suit?
This reminds me of an argument that someone said. Can you fathom over 7 billion people in the world living, breathing, and thinking all separately from each other? Just because something is difficult to comprehend or the answer isn't given outright doesn't mean a created theory, like having a soul, should be accepted without question. I know there is a fallacy for this type of situation, but the word isn't coming to mind.
And yes there seems to be a problem with counting skills as well as debate skills.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Don't worry, I have the other ten which Eddy left out.

Hope that helps brighten your arrival.

Welcome. This forum is a site on the internet. There is a finders fee.... I mean, you have to pay a fee because you found it. I only take cash.

You might be interested in my guide to logical fallacies here, which are the building blocks of apologetics. After a while, you'll notice it's the same dozen or so arguments being warmed over and dressed up. I have a load of videos which address various aspects too, feel free to let me know!
