Don't let Arach bother you. He has pigeonholed you as an Atheist and therefore in his view an atheist fundamentalist extremist. So he is now trying to force on you agendas, attitudes and biases whether you like it or not, in order to confirm his own personal bias. I don't know what his beef is with us; he calls himself an atheist, too.

Oh I figured out AA a long time ago . He's cut from the same cloth as Mystics protege, and no more competent than him .

yeah, the facts have a way of pigeonholing people. some people get very upset when facts get in the way of an opinion. They get downright hostile when one can't be bullied into believing the personal, emotional, opinion isn't even that great when analyzed objectively.

I think the term is fundy-stupid, or fundy, maybe funny-mental, err, I forget, but you know.

lol, you can't figure out that some of us are not milli-mental-minded. and it bothers you. We won't hurt the middle man just because some fundy-mental atheist tells us to.

It's that simple.

you guys are about self validation, you need the head nods and not interested in "how the universe works".


Now, if you wanna stop name calling and stick with observations, you let know. But I will insist that you know about the science. Emotional opinions are nice and all, but they just are not my specialty.

To illustrate , let me answer the flipped question . Yes, I can understand theists finding a reason to be theist . That doesn't mean I agree with their evidence, but I can understand how people can come to that belief .

It's not a trick question , just one that requires a little honesty from those asked , which seems to be in short supply with a couple of posters .

Yes, I get it. You are into head nods of approval for self validation. I really do get it.
Remember, to 85% of the people, 15% of the people seem foolish.

your "honest" means agree with you.
What you know isnt enough to counter some valid claims.

If you had any sense at all you would grasp that just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make them an atheist . Nor have I ever accused you of any certain position, so you just make this nonsense up.


As for the rest, you make less sense than usual .

Either participate by answering questions or disappear and let other do so. Doesn't matter to me . Your rambling nonsense gets old thread after thread .

Indeed, and I agree. This really belongs of the 'being right' thread, but people get heated when their personal beliefs are coming under pressure.

Now, when was the last time you got shirty...ah yes, when I explained how I had sussed you out.. Mind, you recovered well. I was impressed by that

In case you were wondering, the last time I lost it was on an evolution thread - not because the bod was arguing well, but because he ran away claiming he'd won.

He's on the duck hunt again. It doesn't matter. If these militant - bashers come up with valid points, we take it on board. or should. If not...let them fume and rave. It makes no odds to us.

It is important to reiterate that you are ill-suited to determine who is or is not contributing appropriately to the discussion. You're not getting your way - reasonable people are disagreeing with what you wish was the only truth - so you are behaving in a belligerent and abusive manner perhaps to make yourself and your comments seem more important than they are. Meanwhile, Arach Angle is serving a very valuable purpose in this discussion, ensuring you don't have an unrebutted soapbox for self-ratifying nonsense. I'd do it myself, as well, but between leading worship over the weekend, and heading to the annual meeting of our church's national association this week, I cannot do my part.

Regardless, you've set the tone for replies to your claptrap with the tone of your claptrap, so complaining about the righteous repudiation of your comments now is ridiculous.

Geez dude , grow the hell up and put your whiny little grudge behind you .

Let's do this . Back up what you claim with facts . Where have I said my way is the only way ? I have asked here if theists can't understand why some do not believe . How is that claiming my way is the only way ?

I tire of your mindless drivel and lies . Back up your statements or STHU .
