No one, and I mean NO ONE, proselytizes their religion like an atheist proselytizes their religion of non-religion.



So true. Easiest way to shut them up: "I believe in God. I don't have to prove he exists. You prove to me he doesn't and then we can talk."

Really irritates me everytime they ask me to prove He exists. That's not on me, chief.

I care about religion only in as much as it impacts my life. More specifically, how it impacts the legislative habits of politicians and voting habits of everyone else.



What makes you believe that you should have a say in why people vote the way they do?

But, at least you've admitted to the very major difference between atheists and Christians, the latter group just wants to live and let live. The former demands the latter group conform.

Because you made an accusation, and I know you can't back it up.

Like when a patient or family member insists on an intercessory prayer prior to your doing a procedure or whatever it is you do as a physician? Do you poo poo it then like you do here?

What gets me is when people say 'the science is settled'. They've made up their minds that x fits their world view and that's that. As if the scientific method is no longer needed.


The real problem is that no part of evolution that could even be close to considered "settled" conflicts with Christianity. At all. In any way. The co-opted "evolution" that conflicts with Christianity doesn't hold up to scientific scrutiny at all, and has no basis in anything other than wishful thinking.

The reason devout Christians represent such a small minority of people claiming Christianity is that it’s much harder to believe in it after a deep dive into the theology. It only holds up on a superficial level in the light of our modern knowledge of the world.


Says the person who believes fish become philosophers. This type of thinking is non sense.


Christians have a justification that satisfies the preconditions of intelligibility and uniformity in logic, science, nature, and morality.

The life of an atheist is ridiculed with inconsistency. They argue that the world happened just by chance but then turn around and look for regularities, law like explanations for events, and uniformity or predictability in things studied by natural science. The unbeliever does not have a workable world view and he exposes its weakness at every turn in his life.

This one?

That's funny considering atheists frequently use fraudulent evidence for evolution to denounce the existence of God.

That is a 100% accurate statement. There is no part of evolution that disproves God, outside of items that belong more in the belief column than in the science column.

I'd take it even further and say anyone who uses evolution in an attempt to disprove God understands neither evolution or God. Not just atheists.

You're asking me to prove a negative. Not possible. It's quite telling that this was your go-to when asked for evidence. Seems you are quite aware that any part of evolution that actually has scientific evidence behind it does not contradict Christian beliefs or the Biblical account of creation. If you come across any evolutionary belief that has actual evidence to support it that does contradict Christian beliefs or the Biblical account of creation, I'd love to see it.

Well I'm done engaging with you now. When you gain some intellectual honesty, get back to me.

Who comes to the poliboard for intellectual honesty? That’s like going to a vegan restaurant looking for a t-bone.
