Atheist Confusion?

[Theland]

Its about time the AB atheists had a big fat believer to sink their teeth into, and tear to shreds, all red in tooth and claw.
Like fox hunting, it is an acceptable blood sport :-)

So, Richard Dawkins has stated that the universe is simply blind indifference, (paraphrased), that we simply dance to the demands of our DNA.

Yet he has said that science has put men on the moon, yet evil religion flies planes into towers.

Do you see the inconsistency?

This raises questions about morality, and maybe, just maybe, we could discuss it without spilling too much blood, burning too many martyrs, or sending hate mail?
(But just in case I shall be wearing full body armour and a crash helmet :-)

Theland - // … Truly, I couldnt care less about your atheism … //

Then why don't you stop arguing with him on here all the time?

[Peter Pedant]

yes o course we can discuss it
what was the queston again?

[Theland]

Yes I should ignore him, and not try to be polite and answer him.

Andy, I am not obsessed with Dawkins, he is simply the most well known hatetheist, but there are many I could have criticised for inconsistency and flawed arguments.

//Andy, I am not obsessed with Dawkins//
Hahaha,
Your joking right?
The number of times that you mention him, its like your in love with him or something, every post is Dawkins this or Dawkins that...

Theland - // Andy, I am not obsessed with Dawkins, he is simply the most well known hatetheist, but there are many I could have criticised for inconsistency and flawed arguments. //

You just don't get it do you …

The whole joy about an absence of belief is the absence of the need to be constantly reading, pondering, fretting, questioning, debating, looking for answers … and all the other nonsense that takes up your valuable time that you could be using to enjoy life.

I don't care how consistent Richard Dawkins is - he is the atheist equivalent of Jimmy Swaggart - taking a thought and parlaying into an ego-massaging financially lucrative career.

I have never read a word he has written, because I couldn't care less if he told me God was a Martian - I don't care!!

And one more time, because I have never got this through to you in months and months of saying it -

I DON'T CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nailit]

I get the feeling that you dont care Andy....
I could be wrong.

[andy-hughes]

nailit - // I get the feeling that you dont care Andy....
I could be wrong. //

No, I think you're right actually.

Now, if I could just get Theland to understand that ….

[nailit]

//Now, if I could just get Theland to understand that. //
Mmmm, I think he does understand on one level, but on another he denies it.
Cognitave dissonance and all that.
He knows that its wrong to stone people to death and to torture them eternally, thats why he changes the subject when bought up and shifts the conversation.

[nailit]

He'll do it again in a minute, watch!

[vulcan42]

The problem is nailit that when Theland shifts the conversation he doesn't offer a counter argument, he starts to ridicule and pretends he doesn't care. In reality he does care and what he cares about most is that we will eventually agree with him. I can see no other reason why he persistently posts controversial statements. In other words he's constantly, in spite of his denials, looking for converts.

Theland, //the bibles morality is the actual absolute authority of Jesus Christ, as revealed in the gospel of the New Testament… I really wanted a discussion not evangelise..//

If you weren’t evangelising you would qualify your first sentence there^.

I get the distinct impression that this thread will end in tears - culminating in the usual Theland flounce.

[Theland]

You as well Naomi?

[Theland]

Andy - You don't care, then don't read, don't post, don't bother.
Simples.

[naomi24]

Me 'as well' what?

[Theland]

Incidentally, in case the po faced elements missed it, there was an attempt at an element of humour in my intro.
Was it so unfunny, or are you so miserable you just have to, ''have a go?''

[Theland]

Flounce Naomi? Flounce? And you as you as well?
Stop fishing.
Slap yourself on the back, well done.

[andy-hughes]

Theland - I'll stop when you do.

See you tomorrow....

[Theland]

Sigh, stopped, end of thread. Cheers.

[Mozz71]

It seems to me, that Theland's constant threads on this subject is a copy of that Monty Python sketch.

I've come for an argument....
