K.I.S.S (Keep it simple stupid!) :kiss: Yeah, do your own research lazy bones/brains, as has been typed many times on TPF, we cannot spoon feed everyo...
Oh shit! I hate/love tests like this. I am so good/bad at them, especially when written by a wordsmith. F*** it, I'm just gonna go for it, I say (G) a...
I think the content of your post that I took the above quotes from is fair enough but I think the assumptions made in your last sentence are inaccurat...
He did not equate them, he compared them. He simply tried to explain to you that it is not fanatical or militant and is in fact 'reasonable' to sugges...
Could'nt resist this one @"Jamal" Do you think this statement by Janus makes him a fanatic? A militant atheist who is a threat to innocent theists eve...
I have a friend who has been a friend for most of my life. He had an arranged marriage and has two sons from that marriage. Over the years he has expl...
Why did you choose to ignore this part of my rationale for the emotion of human love? Is it because that part was obviously nothing to do with 'feelin...
Are you looking for the opinion of others regarding this quote, before you offer your own? Is another way of putting this: If you love someone then yo...
It would be better if you attempted to answer the questions you were asked before asking your own questions. I will be more balanced, and answer your ...
More educated in how to prevent the more nasty affects religion can have on a person individually and on the society you are trying to exist within, a...
I know most members on this site are not too keen on cheerleading but that was a 'knock out' sentence imo. I think even William Lane Craig would have ...
Whaaaaat? Do you really feel like that? Is that unenlightened or just sooooooo sad? If you truly believe 'caring is not rational,' than how would you ...
No one on this thread, has ever suggested banning religion or theism or theosophism, that would only increase it's status and offer it an underground ...
I think all of the frustration is coming from your words, not mine. You only offer pantomime style responses, you offer no supporting evidence or exam...
:rofl: I love that logic as akin to the kind of logic peddled to people by monsters such as M Thatcher via her admiration for Smith. When will all the...
Perhaps that's because I don't take things at face value. I consider the possible ramifications of my personal decisions, on the lives and well being ...
Your bad attempts to goad me are just that, bad attempts, but then you do use a two faced god as your representation image. Perhaps you are just tryin...
I would put Gandhi or perhaps such as Martin Luther King as exemplar lives that you attempt to describe above. I consider both of these men to be exce...
You are correct, I absolutely don't agree. Pay up, You lost your bet, perhaps donate some of your money to the on-line atheist community. I have been ...
Well thanks for the info but I think I will leave that personal investigation of IMX for now. I will happily work cheek by jowl with theists of any va...
There is a lot of 'netiquette' guidelines out there. There are even ones for in-house use, written by a particular company or organisation. A guidelin...
I used to teach netiquette to classes from S1 to S3, and you can use capitals for emphasis rather than as an indication of shouting. I try never to sh...
Well, I expect every current member of YOUR site, is rushing right now to confirm your request. I doubt I will even have enough time to type this resp...
I am glad I typed something in this thread you are not offended by! You accused me of being a fanatic Mr Jamal. Quote where, or have the honesty to wi...
Perhaps. I am trying to 'appreciate' where you are coming from in your support of non-literal theism. 'God is love,' is the only offering you seem to ...
So you are declaring for Hanover's pov, so what? Well if that happens then I have brought you and Mr Hanover closer to each other and god. Would that ...
What do you mean? That's no answer at all. Are you playing the 'redraft the question' or 'avoid the question,' game of theism? If god 'willed' the uni...
That's very ..... human of you, well done! :up: Now you are making assumptions about me. Would it confuse you, if I said some of my best friends are t...
Yeah, as nice as Mr Ehrman is and as expert as he demonstrably is regarding theism. His deconversion remains a little incomplete, but then, it's a big...
In what way is this different from the moral code of an atheist humanist? The world has over 8 billion people in it and we need a global system that i...
Give me one of YOUR examples of a theistic claim, that might be made by a non-literal theist? Your example from the non-denominational church (a.k.a '...
We agree on that at least. So what is it concerned with that is representative of theism? You seem to be trying to find some 'pointless' use for the c...
So why not recommend the final step and recommend that if you are a theist or you are religious or you are a theosophist then you are irrational, as y...
Progress allows us to focus on higher order tasks than before. Would you still rather clothes were washed in the local stream in comparison with using...
So how does that particular church, explain the maniac god of the OT, who commanded the ethnic cleansing of some tribes, sends she bears to kill child...
No, that's human wonder and awe at the universe we observe. 'Look at the trees!' or wow! look at the stars, is not evidence for the existence of god. ...
BUT they DO! Constantly, they preach, many of them will actually knock on your door, at home! The decisions made by religious organisations and the ma...
Are these the types of atheists you are referring to? https://youtu.be/YBkZQev9LYU https://youtu.be/k6PWFvzKl3I https://youtu.be/QJ0M-gEGFMI I can lis...
I have read the bible cover to cover, twice. First in my mid 20's, next in my mid 30's. I am 59 now. I was an atheist before, during and after. There ...
I fully advocate, that we need to provide high quality, free, education for all citizens from cradle to grave. I think we both agree that YOU should h...
I read Leviticus 19:16 and I found out a little about Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan and scanned some of the content from his book on the link you posted. S...
This quote above is imo, an admission that your current theistic viewpoints are completely petrified/ossified. That's fine by me. I agree that no matt...
