I remembered this post, because it was the 1st post I saw coming back to this board after a while:
https://www.city-data.com/forum/59256275-post114.html

And scores of posts like this:

To say he doesn't post lists & make comparisons, is like saying I don't post about Pantheistic ideas.
Thank you very much for this.

But it doesn't matter. It never mattered. That's why our lines of logic where subdued.

Look at the words in the title "example of lunacy ..."

And when we reply in kind they dog pile on us.

Its a no win situation for us ... and that's why they do it.

Using stone cold commonsense, logic, reason, with a sprinkle of love compassion and understanding ... their "lack belief", based on lack of information, and "we don't have to say anything." being tossed around like a dogma doesn't really have the legs to stand on there own.

"lunacy", "lack belief" in everything one doesn't know anything about and not trying to learn about it and only repeating "Strawman" when the belief starts to makes some sense is lunacy. Unless we are here to fight religion. In a belief forum none the less. then it makes perfect sense.

When you lead with a Thread that basically refers to the Adherents to a Theology as "lunatics"...and then, the premise of your argument is based upon a insult and mocking of the Books & writings, and the Deities (that they claim they don't believe exists)...you are not just looking to respectfully "disagree".

We discuss and exchange ideas & philosophies relative to Religious and Spiritual concepts...we don't just open up with threads & posts bashing, insulting, and mocking others.

GldnRule, Mystic and Arach consistently write posts bashing, insulting and mocking others who disagree with them.


They then use the "tactic" of complaining when anyone does the same thing to them.


It's the old "I bash my wife" tactic ...... where a man bashes his wife, he is then arrested and faces court, and his "tactic" is "hey judge, sure I bashed her, but she made me do it via her bad behavior, therefore she is to blame".

I think this thread is becoming a great example of lunacy that shows god isn't real. Lunacy anyway...

The first example is a pretty good list.

The second one is not. It's a bunch of mostly one-liners with no real comparison, which he always touts.

'cause you said so.

You get triggered way to easy. Focus on the meaning, not the delivery. Oh wait, you can't do that. If you did that you become less reliable so pull me down and level the field..

lmao .. typical.

the point of the second list is spot on.

Address the comment ...

"lunacy" can also mean "lack belief" in everything one doesn't know anything about and not trying to learn about it and only repeating "Strawman" when the belief starts to makes to show it has some evidence and is not irrational. Lunacy is being in a site like this to fight religion. In a belief forum none the less.

I'm focusing on the content. You always 2 things in this regard -- making a list and using it to compare. You dabble in the first and babble in the second. One of the skills we emphasized with students was learning to compare and contrast various bits of information. Of course, they were 12 year-olds.

So for example, in regard to whether god is real, in one column we could have:

Information that christians use to "prove" that god is real:

In the second column we could have:

Information that atheists use to "prove" that god is not real:

Then start listing apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Take each line of information and compare and contrast in an organized manner.

If you want to do that, and actually have a conversation, we can do that.

They will NEVER do that. They will close to ALWAYS eventually revert to personal abuse when anyone "repeatedly" disagrees with them. There's only a handful of those abusers here, but they constantly post.
