Quote from ARogueTrader:
Stu is convinced that his reality is THE reality for not only himself, but for all others.
I get this sense that he grips so strongly on his position, that he needs to defend it for reasons beyond simple argumentation.
Such is the nature of the dogmatic fundamentalists.
The reward of all or nothing thinking is that if you can place yourself on the side of "all" you can feel the certainty human beings crave.
The atheist have no choice but to condemn and make the theist wrong in order to maintain their position. They simply cannot exist in a world in which they might in fact be wrong, in which they might in fact be deluded themselves, where they might in fact have to question their own judgment and stop judging those who practice faith.
It amazes me how similar in many ways fundamentalist born again Christians are to their opposites, i.e. fundamentalist born again Atheists.
Quote from stu:
What is most distasteful is the obvious ingrained arrogance you display about something which you tout around like a poor man's confidence trick, masquerading it as truth.
The arrogance which expresses the way you force your pollution into the minds of the young and innocent, leaving bad stains of religion on precious growing consciousnesses is sickening.
Thank goodness time for the pious con men like you is at hand. At last people are more able to see through your rubbish than ever before, and realize there is more to learn from living than the restrictive subservient mindset your failed indoctrination demands.
Enjoy your decline.
I am.
Quote from ARogueTrader:
You must have me confused with the Catholic teachers you had who probably buggered you as a child. Your rage is palpable. Get some therapy and move on. Your victim mode is not healthy.
It is not surprising that you transfer this anger to me, it is classic case of someone who has not really dealt with their own issues dumping their baggage on someone else.
I personally was raised to make my own decisions, and my parents exposed me to all choices and said make up your own mind. They said find out for yourself.
It is that type of freedom of choice that I pass onto the young children, not the dogmatism you spew.
So tell me, what would be the purpose for that? Are you scared in any way of something if you don't believe in an illusion??Quote from damir00:
could very well be.
it's a choice: i can either accept that i believe in a g-d that might be an illusion - or i accept that free will itself is an illusion. i choose the former, you are free to make your own choice. both choices are valid, imo. either way, it's accepting an illusion.
only difference is which illusion.

Quote from stu:
wtf are you going on about ??
It's no good you trying to talk sweet and make this all about little ol moi... its about the ridiculous remarks you are stuck with and cannot backup with anything.
You obviously have big problems handling The Trinity... according to ART here on pg 26... or this ....which deals with the utter absurdity of the so called arguments of yours .
You might improve yourself if you refrain from trying to blame others for your obvious incapability in producing anything that appears even remotely reasonable from the complete garbage you have created![]()
