Oh, I don't know. The various civil rights organizations didn't just speak quietly. They protested, even rioted, until change took place. And thank goodness they did.

We have done this over and over. Tell me one thing - if nature, physics and the Universal field is not intelligent, do you still say it is "God"? And assuming that you stick to your 'reason we are here' characteristic, is there any reason, other than semantic juggling, that we can't just call it 'nature?'

So - do you think that is going to make the slightest difference to the 'New' atheist campaign? It is not just about me. Discrediting me will make not the slightest difference.



I would have to be extraordinarily obtuse not see how Theists (here) would be gleeful about atheists falling out. But then I could fart and you'd tick that off on your check list "Yep, sure sign of an atheist fundament."
dude, i have claimed from day one you answer to a statement of belief about god. I claimed from day two that you answer to "how theist react first". You are defined by others.

I don't. I make no claims based on a statement of belief about gos. Nor do I changed science based on how theist react.

You do ... your theist in the head. thats all.

i don't dislike you trans. i dislike you thinking we need to answer to anti-religious dogma first. That just seems so religous to me.

What IS nature? If it has the minimum attributes of God, what's in a name, it is still God and is responsible for the existence of everything including our intelligence.

we are not saying its totally bad.

we are saying that answering to a statement of belief about god doesn't make us atheist.

we are saying that basing choices without every saying "no god" or "those pesky theist" is more valid.

I can certainly recall from the start how you interpreted anything an atheist said (or posted) as a Sign of Dogmatic atheist Fundamentalism, and if there wasn't anything, you'd make something up.

You atheist anti -atheists are known pretty much. Prof Stavrakopoulou because the Bible is her life's work and she sees us as 'attacking' it. You because you hate liberals. CC because (or so I reckon) because he wants to keep options open on God and sees us trying to close them. Goldie because he's just an asshhole.

Vic. I still don't know what makes him tick.

oh my no god, your freaking out over three letters.

claiming the universe may be "life" is more valid than claiming it is "non life". just because you are so afraid of three letters isn't our problem.

we don't answer to a statement of belief about god like you do.

Actually, that's not what this particular conversation was about.

lmao ... no trans thats not how it went.

I used your words and only your words.

lay that "some of us feel religion is so dangerous" speech on me again. You know, when I told you that all I claim is we are surrounded by life and thats what theist are reacting to. And you told me "yeah but ..." insert speech.

go ahead dude ... floor is yours.
