Here are some samplings by some Sages at ChristianForums.com on atheists.

Would you like butter on your popcorn? Settle in and enjoy!

why are you so resistant to learning? You guys constantly just show your ignorance daily and when we try to correct even factual errors where you get christian beliefs wrong you never listen, never change the erroneous opinions. Most disturbing of all somehow atheists have managed to convence themselves that they are some sort of intellectual superiors, when most of them know spit about art, litterature, philosophy, or life. All they know about is science, and most of the time they screw that up.

I saw empirical, visible evidence of God, therefore your "empirical evidence" against his existence a bunch of BS atheists take on pure faith. What atheists are missing is a grasp of their own bias and will not to believe. They can be merely cynical, thoughtless, materialists and call themselves "objective." Most are very one-dimensional in their thinking, I believe in order to maintain control because of some bad childhood experiences. (Peck talks about "atheists" getting therapy and walking out believing in God, or at least being agnostic) They have convinced themselves they are "free thinkers" when actually they refuse to think about any possibility which would shake their faith.

And generally the younger they are the more they think they know, and can explain, and the worse off they are. (Kind of like the rest of humanity).

LOL, yeah we tend to disagree on what is reasonable or not. Atheists are always more reasonable no matter how arrogant, biased or insulting they are of course.

Though randomly generated sock-puppet quotations of opinions are not evidence, I agree that the atheistic position that there is no cookie monster is as absurd as the theistic position that there is, because you can't prove a negative, especially based on no supportable evidence, either way.

My opinion is that the 'god' and 'afterlife' questions do not matter any more than whether a 'Star Destroyer' could blow up the 'Starship Enterprise'.

It is easy to seem to appear right when one arbitrarily chooses one's own rules concerning logic and ignores the accepted ones.

This is akin to having a discussion with a person who changes issues whenever he finds it convenient.

Oliver North is an expert at it and got away with it to boot.

One variation is called snowing.

That's why I find debates a waste of time.

Yes, this definitely bears repeating. ;)

:rub:

Am I supposed to be upset by all that?
 
Geez, the argument from authority has gone downhill in the last few years. Once when people wanted to make a point they would quote philosophers, writers, artists, scientists, hell even rock stars. :D

Now it's a couple of guys on a bulletin board you've never even heard of?
 
Re: Re: Observations on atheists

"God is an invention of Man. So the nature of God is only a shallow mystery. The deep mystery is the nature of Man."

Perhaps when the deep mystery of the nature of Humanity is discovered - God will be found therein...of course, this will be some time into the future, as can be evidenced, humanity is still infantile.

What came first (the argument goes) the chook or the egg?

And the answer is.....?

Sounds pretty arrogant, biased and insulting to me. Hmmm, ... Incidently just as arrogant, biased and insulting as the other two quotes that you, Riddick, supplied. A few excerpts:


• "why are you so resistant to learning?" (Metacrock, age 48)

Am I correct in assuming that this arrogant statement is directed at an Atheist?

• "Most disturbing of all somehow atheists have managed to convence themselves that they are some sort of intellectual superiors, when most of them know spit about art, litterature, philosophy, or life." (Metacrock, age 48)

Most of them?

• "They [Atheists] can be merely cynical, thoughtless, materialists and call themselves "objective." Most are very one-dimensional in their thinking, I believe in order to maintain control because of some bad childhood experiences." (radorth, age 55)

One dimensional? Unlike the speaker of course.

• "(Peck talks about "atheists" getting therapy and walking out believing in God, or at least being agnostic)" (radorth, age 55)

Therapy? Are we somehow defective, or what?



Oh, Riddick. You are a very funny person indeed, and your track record on this forum here tells me that you simply cannot be sarcastic with this statement for it yould go against your bias:

"Here are some samplings by some Sages at ChristianForums.com on atheists." (Riddick)

:nope:

LOL. Still no evidence for your ridiculous beliefs then I see Riddick? :D
 
Before I read the responses, I thought Riddick was making a case for atheists. :eek:
 
Typical Radick (Ridrook?).

He has no case for there being a God (well, besides the usual ID fodder)... so he prefers Straw Man a light Ad Hominem sauce.
 
Riddick, do you have evidence that these are real people?

If they are, do they know that they are being quoted in this forum?

Maybe you should invite them to this forum to defend themselves. Being quoted in another forum without a chance to defend oneself is a bit unfair, don't you think?

I told you where you can find them, christianforums.com, post anywhere in general apologetics and maybe you will get their attention. I'll invite them to jref.

How do we know they are not your sock puppets?

I don't want to post in christianforums.com for I respect their space. And it seems as if you want us to invade their space, Riddick, why?

Does it really matter?

I am content to believe in a world of 5 (or 6?)billion people that there are 2 christians who don't like atheists and 1 atheist who makes a hideosly ironic statement like the one cited.

Whether the opinions cited above are at all relevant is another matter entirely. It is usual when posting comments made on other boards to say things about them, ask questions, try to find out things about the subject. Riddick did none of these things here, so I am unsure what he wants out of the thread he started.

I can't say that a few lines from 3 people I've never heard of are going to cause me to loose any sleep.


P.s. Radrock, I am amazed how much time you apparently spend frequenting these forums to tell people that debating is a waste of your time.
