Critiques of Atheism

[ShadowSot]

Their revelations helped coincidence, or a policeman, who also thought plain-clothes work

Heh, I love translator programs.
Those plain clothes need to get a job.

What is with the trolls recently? There's just no effort or passion going into these things now, it's like being on 4chan. "Herp derp, church burn down, must be atheist. U mad atheists? lolololol."

School just restarted. Most of them are back in High School this week. All that are left are the drop outs.

How silly.

 

[ThermionicScott]

If the person was an atheist, they hurt their cause far more than they could have advanced it...

I can't wait to see who the passive-aggressive dick of the week is.

That's pretty passive-aggressive of you.

From Kerrang!

Count Grishnackh (real name Varg Vikernes) - the erstwhile Burzum musician who is currently serving a 21-year jail sentence for murdering Mayhem guitarist Oystein 'Euronymous' Aarseth and setting fire to three churches in 1993 - has been denied parole by the Norwegian justice system for the second time.

Officials say that his escape from jail five years ago and ties with neo-Nazi groups have affected his chances of an early release.

I'm going for the win.

Maybe he is just a vandal! As far as I know vandals come in all types and dont really care about the symbolism of what they wreck.

 

[MRC_Hans]

That happened in Czech Republic, not in Norway.
He was an atheist by a strong implication: He stole a bike and had a modest criminal record. So he was an atheist.

I have always found it funny that the forum software automatically assigns the title 'Critical thinker' to guys like this. Perhaps we could leave out the 'h' for better sense?

Oh, and epix, nice of you to come out of the closet as a troll so quick.
Thank you for playing and goodbye.

It probably was. They have a history of burning stuff down.

 

[thatguywhojuggles]

No one told me as an atheist I was free to steal bicycles! Damn you all. I've been spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars over the years on them!!


edit: this reminds me of my favorite Emo Phillips joke.

 

[paximperium]

Don't you think that you should restraint yourself upon finding that the OP failed to subscribe to your system of belief?

My system of belief is based on intelligence along with rational logic based on evidence. Sorry if your unintelligent irrational illogical OP based on your random speculation is a source of amusement.

Emotional outbursts don't make an argument.

While I realize that you are desperate to score points by projecting your source of epic failure onto others, it is a pretty bad habit you really need to fix. Please don't blame your failures onto others. Have some balls to take responsibility for your failures.

So what was your point?

My system of belief is based on intelligence along with rational logic based on evidence.

If you've chosen your guiding light by putting all your trust in the intelligence of other people and their ability to use it for the purpose of providing comprehensive evidence, then you should make an attempt to learn from them and limit your tantrum to the level of a mere amusement.

So the locals claimed they could see Mary in the smoke as the building burned to the ground? That's sad. If she would have just gotten there a few minutes sooner, she probably could have put out the fire and saved the building.

I bet she forgot to set her alarm clock the night before and woke up late. Sometimes I do that.

 

[godofpie]

Yeah, any evidence it was an atheist? Maybe it was an agnostic. A Muslim. A Hebrew. A Pastafarian.
In Norway some churches were burned by satanists, you know.

We never burn. We only simmer.

Surely you gest. Maybe it's a language barrier on your part but your logic is laughable as written.


According to the translated article as I read it, not one word is mentioned about the perpetrator's atheism or any other religion. I'm not sure there is even a motive noted.

You might want to change the lures in the spread.

Why do you hate atheists epix? Why do you concoct little schemes and conspiracies with them as the villians? Did someone steal your bicycle as a child while screaming "GOD IS DEAD!"?

 

[epix]

Surely you gest. Maybe it's a language barrier on your part but your logic is laughable as written.

The article said that the arsonist stole a motorcycle. Since the theists go by "You shall not steal," I concluded that the arsonist was an atheist with no moral barrier between him and and other people's property. A chapel went up in smoke; he stole . . . it looked like the dude was an atheist, not a theist. Theists usually respect other people gods, so even if he was a Jehovah Witness, for example, he wouldn't burn other people's place of worship -- unless there was some religious war going on. But there was none.

Despite your outburst of hearty laughter, I don't agree with a notion that atheism could be a manifestation of a collective mental illness. One individual who can't think straight in a formal manner doesn't make up a group either. This generalization is wrong.

According to the translated article as I read it, not one word is mentioned about the perpetrator's atheism or any other religion. I'm not sure there is even a motive noted.

There was not even a motive given. You need to make your own conclusion, as I did.
I know, you solely rely on the opinion of others, like the Darwins (I'm not saying that it is necessary, coz you mind no worky right), but you should try to form your own opinion, apart from laughing, from time to time. Just practice . . .
