Protocol for debating theists

Protocol for debating theists
Found on the webs...

[Image: debate-flow-chart.jpg]

Thoughts?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Perfect. If we want to discuss the existence of God or other silly theistic and/or supernatural things. But I suggest we don't waste our times trying to discuss those things at all as it's all been beaten to death and theists believe for emotional reasons and aren't going to become convinced until they let go of their crutch.

IMO.

Almost every theist here fails at question one on at least one, but usually any topic that could possibly lead to reasonable doubt that something in their book of fairy tales might be wrong. This makes it exceedingly difficult to have actual discussions with them.

I think that the Christian AF user Ignorant is mature enough to follow this. Unfortunately his premises are silly but he does at least discuss properly. He's without question the best theistic debater on AF. Unlike Neo who always makes a bunch of non-sequiturs.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Theist hat on.

All the evidence I need is right here in my heart of hearts.
I trust what my heart is telling me with 100% certainty.

/end debate

Theists...don't waste your time arguing with science and evidence.
It won't end well for you ... Then again, maybe you're only here to troll out of frustration. Dunno
Your specific personal idea of God needs to stay in your head.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Fuckin brilliant! I'm out on the drink tonight so in the spirit of the times, a la, Martin Luther celebrations, I intend to print and laminate a few copies and nail them on church doors.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but please don't do anything you could be hanged for.

Don't see how this is different from any other serious discussion.

Can you envision anything that will change your mind on this topic?
