Science of Atheism

[Data]

Only because the dog broke the rules, though, not and I repeat, not because you don't like what he says. Because, you atheists would NEVER break any of the rules or you would get shot too. 

I'll betting I've been shot more times that you have.

If you guys don't start treating me with the dignity, honor and respect I deserve I am afraid I shall have to leave. 

I'm hurt. Truly. I am. Imagine. being told I should be shot. Figuratively. 

Don't you realize that could be a sexual euphemism?!!!!

Terrible, terrible people! [cries]

You are more than welcome to ignore everyone who has offended you and discourse only with me. My general manner of posting is quite dry and I don't get emotional easily. I can talk to anyone so long as they are respectful to me. Put everyone on ignore other than me if you wish.

You are more than welcome to ignore everyone who has offended you and discourse only with me.  My general manner of posting is quite dry and I don't get emotional easily.  I can talk to anyone so long as they are respectful to me.  Put everyone on ignore other than me if you wish.

Are you kidding me? No way. I like you and our discussions, but I disagree with you that the solution to life's problems, to social anxiety is to indoctrinate and intimidate everyone that doesn't think like we do or to ignore what we don't want to hear. It makes us weak and stupid. Live and let live is a good motto, as far as mottos go. 

But I do have an announcement. The games are over as of now. I learned long ago that when posting on atheist forums the participants need certain bones cast in their direction. Here I've chosen one. Give them a scapegoat. I use that one when I expect to be banned quickly. Usually the other bone is the one I use, discuss evolution affording them the opportunity to preach.

The bone has been devoured. That's not a pun, just in case, I don't keep up with the vernacular or colloquialisms. It's time for me to move on, so I won't be playing the tit for tat game from here on. 

However, your scapegoat isn't sent out to the wilderness yet! Beginning next week I will post only in the Christian forum and only meaningful posts. I will NOT respond to meaningless responses. Let the haters be hating. I will ignore you manually. 

Incidentally, if you haven't noticed I often refer to the possibility of me getting bored and leaving. In my mind the worst thing you could possibly do to me is ignore me. Not push a button and make me disappear, that's lovely, I mean to literally and manually ignore me. How boring would that be? I wouldn't last long with that. 

But you don't want that do you. You want to set the scapegoat on fire and send his naked ass out into the wild, don't you. Makes you feel good, don't it. 

Anyway, that's the announcement. I know what I do is important to you all and you like to keep informed. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to submit them in written form. 

Thanks, 

David

I'm not sure I understood much of that.
But ok.

If the Bible teaches the Earth is a sphere I wonder what is the latitude and longitude where the pillars intersect the surface.

1 Samuel 2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

What is the foundation of Democracy? What is the cornerstone of marriage? Do people still use the phrase sunset and sunrise? What are the pillars of, foundation of, cornerstone of, four corners of the globe? The thing is, in order to make the Bible appear silly, the fundamentalist militant atheists have to be hyper literalists.

Always changing the subject to an incoherent POS when he gets cornered.

If the bible cannot be taken literally, there's no reason to believe anything contained within is accurate or realistic.

For whatever reason he's going for a lengthy suicide by mod so when he inevitably gets banned he can claim it was for his beliefs or something like that.

I've met serious Hebrew bible scholars who took Genesis literally and believed in a solid firmament.

I can respect that.  At least they're not gaslighting me as to the definition of the Hebrew word "raqa" (hammered sheet metal).
