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 :-)

BA to Mozz !

[andy-hughes]

Theland - a thread does nor end when you stop posting on it.

[Theland]

I get that. I meant our discussion was over, in accordance with your wishes, which I respect.
As for others, yes of course, I do not presume to be a censor.

[naomi24]

If Theland couldn't care less and Andy-Hughes doesn't care, I have to wonder why either of them bother posting.

[andy-hughes]

Not caring about Christianity is not the same as caring about nonsense posted by those who do.

//Not caring about Christianity is not the same as caring about nonsense posted by those who do.//

Personally I disagree. All the time it's not dangerous, I couldn't give a monkeys what anyone writes about religion. I've realised that the religious types are completely impervious to the words of anyone who doesn't completely agree with them. Trying to reason with them is like peeing in the wind.

Look how this thread went from Theland and Nailit saying they'll be civil, to the inevitably opposite of that happening? It's utterly pointless.

Mozz: "I've come for an argument.... " - no you haven't !

Theland, you still seem to have a belief that atheists must "follow" someone, like Richard Dawkins. It makes no difference to me, what he might think. You would be better off asking him these questions.

[goodlife]

These who say they know the Bible, just haven't got a clue.

Nailit @ You say Jesus believed in Hell and eternal torment
Absolutely wrong! Where did he say this?

[Atheist]

Goodlife; a quick google search brought up the following-
Matt. 5:22, "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire."
Matt. 5:29, "If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell."
Matt. 5:30, "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell."

Sorry, did you want a ten minute argument or the full half hour?

[ToraToraTora]

I'll take 10 minutes but I want a proper argument not mere contradiction.

[Theland]

I disagree!

[Theland]

It was Nailit who lost it, and began sounding like flatulence in a biscuit tin.

Andy and I were indeed civil.

[nailit]

//It was Nailit who lost it, and began sounding like flatulence in a biscuit tin//
Question dodger.

[Theland]

I don't dodge questions.
Some of the demands are ridiculous, and a response in one or two posts is impossible.

Like :-

''Describe God and give two exampleles!''

[Mozz71]

But Tora, if I argue with you, I must take a contrary position!

[Mozz71]

Thos is my point Nailit. You and Nailit (or Andy, or Naomi, or whoever) have such contrary opinions on all things biblical that these threads will always end in a less than civil argument. You know it when you start them, and you keep acting surprised and indignant when the inevitable happens. I mean, look at your OP for this thread. You basically painted a target on yourself and shouted "Come and get me!" .

[Mozz71]

Sorry, the above should've been addressed to Theland rather than Nailit.

[Theland]

Mozz, have you noticed that it's me who usually gets both barrels?

Question dodging. Flouncing. Plaiting fog. Idiot. Preaching. I've told you before. Answer the question. You still haven't answered my question.

The list goes on and on.
