Zone1 Why do so many atheists seem to want to attack religion?

[Mashmont]

You know very well that you are wrong so stop playing your childish games.

You're dishonest.

In a 1976 interview, Jones claimed to be an agnostic and/or an atheist.

You’re kind of changing up on me, dear. Can’t you think of any atheist who lived according to the criteria I listed?

You got me. I can't think of anyone who performed one miracle, much less two. You might note that being poor, or living with the poor are not requirements for canonization.

But you can’t think of any who spent their lives in the care of others, while living great moral lives. Why can’t you?

you really should read the list of requirements for canonization.

You're dishonest.

You are a silly little boy.

Forget the miracles. I’ll be satisfied with a selfless atheist. I think I’ve presented an oxymoron, though.

Screw the Catholic churches criteria, You'll just make up your own.

How about just a decent atheist, then? Got one of those?

Anyway, asking them to define themselves would be equivalent to asking Net & Yahoo to define Zionism and the term Semite or maybe asking the CIA to submit their rule book on scruples and Democracy.

You are obviously brain washed into believing that straw man is real.

I couldn’t be happier for their choices. I hope it brings them joy and happiness.

 

[alang1216]

Yeah. I am saying that. But it really wasn’t your sacrifice, now was it. Like I said before the best you can hope for is to suffer without complaint.

Well, I guess I'll never be able to get any peace or joy from my suffering or the suffering of others but I'm OK with that.

 

[alang1216]

How certain am I that you have no clue about the value of my faith? I am not uncertain.

I think you've communicated well the value of your faith to you. I don't see it as a value I share or desire.

How certain am I that God exists, is moralistic and providential? Two words; Jesus Christ.

Some serious circular reasoning you got there.

THAT is the real question although I already answered it in another post: The "religionists" instinctively realise their faith is based upon nothing but superstition and hokus-pokus and they are in desperate need of support by way of conversions of the feeble-minded.

No doubt. Yet, beyond that, on a much deeper level, in the final analysis, it's just a ******* straw man. Every bit as bad as this thread's title, including the weasel words "seem to" and "so many."

I'm still waiting on you to actually respond to the posts I directed toward you with substance by the way. You never did. You insulted my outlook and never actually engaged intellectually. One of them you ignored completely; didn't even take the time to insult me again.

Worry not. Be happy now.

 

[Anomalism]

Okay, so I'll take that as "No, I'm not going to engage with the substance of your posts."

Why continue posturing in the thread then, if you're not willing to engage its author?
