1701. Are the 'New Atheists' avoiding the 'real arguments'?

We've kicked the "historical evidence", point down several times, but he just doesn't want to acknowledge it.

How the hell do you tell people things they don't want to accept?

Shrommer-

God loves and accepts homosexuals and does not discriminate against anyone.

Except for the ones he burns, drowns with floods, besets with plagues, besets with plagues just to prove a point to the devil, or turns into a pillar of salt just for looking the wrong way.

SRWB-

Now we all know that some of the regular posters on this site, myself included, can be quite heated and insulting, with any variation of expletives and insults being used in most original and constructive ways. Some have been downright rude, sometimes disgustingly so.

Well, at least none of us has ever said to another that if one of our loved ones lost a child, we wouldn't care, because we're all, including the baby, just disposable compost.

I find that more repulsive than a trillion fucks strung together, and repeatedly wrapped around the earth.

Hell, I find it more repulsive than scat porn.
I mean, that shit is vile, but at least in the end, it's consenting adults, no one dies, and they shower off after.

wooter-

The big frog is asking big questions?
1.Why was not evolved? What is wrong with me?
2.Why was I the same as the living ones today?

We could explain it, but well, no nice way to say it, you really would be too stupid to understand.

You've had evolution explained til people were blue in the face, and you still keep going back to the same old creationist drivel as if no one said anything.

So, pick up your anti-education hump, and go piss off.
You're not here to learn, you're just a troll.

Oh, and unlike some, I don't even have morbid rubbernecking curiosity about what DR has to say.

We all know it's going to be slippery bullshit at best, and disgustingly insulting at worst, and all wrapped in cartoonish martyrdom.

Listening to it would be like going through the motions in Groundhog Day.

And then from there, it's going to be the response the the review, the response to the response, the response to the response to the response, and DR gets to shovel more of his bullshit and bile, and the thread is just going to decay into a morass like i've seen a thousand times on other boards.

He doesn't deserve the attention, fuck him.

Well, christian apologists may be a bunch of slippery greased eels, but look at it this way.

As far as I know, islam has no apologetics.

They just threaten to kill you.
And do.

Christianity has to use weasel-ism, because secular society has put their barbarism in check.

So, don't let them give you an ulcer, have a giggle.

Hopefully, this is the future that awaits islam someday.
And given their apologetics will just be toddling it its baby walker, they'll be easy pickings, because we've heard all their bullshit before.

Hmm, and that makes me wonder, will they re-invent the wheel, or will hey just steal bullshit arguments from the christians?

Now there's a show that'll need the large bucket of popcorn.

Those of us who have been on the site for a while know how manipulative he can be.

Indeed, it seems passive-aggression and manipulation are all the D'souza/McGrath/Robertson types have on offer.

Period.
For arguments, to offer humanity, that's it, manipulation.
That's IT.

There's no doubt left in me at all that ALL religion is is mind control.

Styrer-

It is this notion - that you are placing your own rebuttals to Dawkins' detractors over his own possible responses to them - that leads to the idea that you are indicating that Dawkins' book was not good enough to stand alone in rebutting each and every one of Cornwell, McGrath, Robertson and Wilson's books' so-called 'arguments'.

Oh, that's just dumb.

This is Richard's site, and he has a posting account, and often uses it, if he objected to Paula's stuff he can speak up.

You taking offense in his stead is as presumptuous as you're accusing Paula of being.

He tries to push buttons to get responses (like comparing gay men to child molesters, or atheists to facist bullies), he attempts to emotionally manipulate people with claims that he is being attacked and censored.

Real Christlike, ain't he?

Oh, I guess slime, smarm, and weasel-ism are for the "greater good", or somesuch rationalization.

wice-

the point dawkins makes is that if you believe in such being, then you cannot use "the universe is so complex that it must have a creator" argument, because then you should explain why you don't use the same argument on your supposed creator,

And when you use that argument on the creator and the creator of the creator, etc, etc, that leads to infinite regression, which IS impossible.

Artful_Dodger-

What I am saying is that if evolution is indeed indifferent, if it neither knows nor cares, then it is meaningless to expend our energies in defense of the weak and vulnerable. The "survival of the fittest" theme will always have the last word. Human dignity is of no more importance than the dignity of compost.

Hey, dummy, did you not read post 203?
And having read it, did it just bounce off your thick head??

Oh, and as for Bishop/Wee Flea trolling to get some juicy quotes, well, isn't that exactly the sort of behavior Jesus would engage in?

Couldn't you just see him doing that?

Trolling message boards, pissing people off, and then quote mining them?

Well, y'know, first some water into wine, and then some healing of the sick, and then the fishes and loaves trick.

Then, after the drunken carousing from all the wine has settled down, some online shenanigans.

Y'know, go onto an atheist board, and be an utter condescending shit to people.

Can't you just see that?

Jesus the internet asshole?

Apparently his fanclub can see that, because they seem to think thats what he expects of his Jesus-kateers.

Maybe she means she's gone from the atheist position, to the anti-theist position.

Y'know, from just plain not believing in Gods, to being flat out grateful their aren't, given the sliminess of their fanclub members.

I personally find that feeling of gratitude and relief strengthening by the second when I suffer through a typical wooter post, or see a child evangelist video.

Well, I think Bishop assuming I haven't faced difficult things in my life, and thus insinuating either my life has been fluffy and meaningless, or that my grandmother's death was peachy, is pretty fucking shitty.

Dammit, Steve, "I had a funny feeling", IS evidence, because (insert 5 paragraphs of post-modernist drivel) so there!!

Artful_Dodger-

you write off many very serious objections to a priori materialsm with a few keystrokes in which you show that you have actually missed the point.

Do any of these objections to materialism have any evidence?

Or, just the usual theological double-talk?

Comment #130584 by Diacanu on February 21, 2008 at 12:45 am

Artful_Dodger-

But not even contemporary atheists are willing to grasp the implications of this: that talking about "human dignity" makes as much sense as talking about the "dignity" of caulilowers!

This isn't a new argument, and I've heard it a lot, and it keeps getting stupider every time I hear it.

There's no "meaning", to the universe.
And there's no "meaning", to life, except what we give it.
And the instrumentality that we use to give that meaning to our lives, is our brains, which evolved via group cooperation, and gave us our innate moral sense.
And it's this moral sense with which we define "human dignity".
So, while the universe doesn't give a damn about our human dignity, I couldn't give a shit, because I do care, and that's enough.

If you think a godless universe equals humans mattering as much as cauliflower, well, go ahead and try to treat me like a cauliflower, and see what happens.
Go on.

Y'know something I've noticed?

The ones who are the nicest christians, and the ones who portray christianity in the nicest light...are the ones who don't know much about it.

The ones who've read their bibles cover to cover, and have all these "sophisticated theological arguments", are the ones who spew forth the ugliest, nastiest, most deceitful and illogical reasons for having belief.

And that second group more or less accounts for 97% of the christians I've encountered online.

It's supposed to be this nice, peaceful, lovely way to live, and all I get out of these people is distortion, unreason, smugness, arrogance, passive-aggression, etc, etc.

Yeah, really good advertisement for the faith that lot is.
