I have always noted that it is metaphorical and allegorical...and that there are those that mistakenly believe and/or argue (for or against) it from a literal standpoint.
All that is needed is to note that it's not literal..."hell", "Satan", etc are representations, not actual places or individuals.
Not use puerile & vulgar terms...as that is demonstrative of low character & intellect.

With all due respect, you are so all over the map that it is impossible to tell what you are attempting to say


The only constant is that it is virtually all nonsense.


That fact that some is metaphorical and allegorical tells you it is all baloney from the get-go. Have a lovely day.

Other people in this forum have presented their cases using logic and science as they see it to prove that a deity does not exist. Whether I agree or disagree with their premises does not undermine my respect for their presentations. However, with you, you attack an individual and use that to prove that a god does not not exist. Sorry, to me you presented an illogical argument, very flawed. I believe there is a fallacy in logic that you used. I do not remember which one; try again.
You have a great day.

Noted in complete disagreement. None of my arguments are flawed. Over the head of some, perhaps, but never flawed.

You have no "argument".Just insults...and whining that almost the whole world is Religious, has been, and getting more so.
Whether the Theologies are "true" or not...they weild incredible power and influence...leaving you at the bottom of the "pecking order".
Ya know...you guys already have The Teapot, Invisible Pink Unicorn, and The Flying Spaghetti Monster...and you went through all the childish effort to invent them...so, just get behind one of them.
It will have way more mojo then the concept you currently embrace (unless you are looking to be among the most hated and least trusted...it's good for doing that)...and you'd 'fit in" better.
Just trying to help y'all out...because I'm cool like that.

Pay close attention of what you wrote and what I wrote. I specified why your presentation showed ad hominen on the guy. And all you wrote is not agreeing without telling me where I was wrong?
You reply as in the initial OP, there is a lot of hubris.
You cannot fool people. The OP message reflect disdain as much as you tried to present it with logic. Take a close look. You did not mention a single point to disprove the existence of a deity, only how the guy contradicted himself. Whereas, the title of the OP is "Example of lunacy that shows that "god" isn't real." So, showing that someone is lunatic means that a deity does not exist? If you cannot see this, it is possible that hubris is at a high level that it clouds critical thinking.

You have a great day.

Your mistake is to think that "lunacy" implies a lunatic. Lunacy is not a person, but, as I have used it, a characteristic of a set of actions and opinions. Don't take the term too literally. It just means "crazy stuff". Hope this helps you. Perhaps I should have put it in quotes.

You would know...first hand.

The fallacy was a non sequitur, the conclusion does not follow from the premise.

Puerile arguments (such as yours) indicate a low intellect, but vulgar language does not. I believe there is even a science paper that shows the opposite.

Yes. Many reports on that so-called science paper.
Curiously..."science papers" are almost never written using that language...nor academic or legal speech & writing. Most places like this forum do not even allow it. Did you then wonder, why not?
A very good example of how some "science papers" are in line with some Religious writings.
