How loving terrible was this post that this one, THIS ONE is the one you thought was too far? I mean compared to all the uninteresting poo poo you've posted to date what made this one the bridge too far?

Look, the most basic commandment of the religion of the Nazarene is to make scientific inquiry into the workings of the Creator's universe. Science is a fundamental principle of Christianity and belief in the God of the New Testament is absolutely required of any man of science who wishes to remain at all consistent.

It's not that, it's just that I wasn't sure if I was replying to a sarcastic post slash joke or not and then I realized the futility of reasonable debate with people who believe in magic.

I was going to say that people in S America were charting stars, building pyramids, and had indoor plumbing while euros were barely mastering fire and it's literal insanity to say that christianity is the well spring of science.

So you, nominally, don't think of yourself as a retarded person and it took you this long to realize that the central tenet of religious faith is belief without proof, and thus no logical argument actually works very well at refuting religious belief?

WHY don't you think of yourself as a retarded person again? It's not like this is a particularly shocking or unexpected side to theistic debate. It's sort of the page one, line one of the entire boring and endlessly repeating rambling discourse. One group of people sees no proof of God and doesn't believe, the other sees no proof of God and does. How do you get this far into the conversation in multiple threads to only just now go "Oh wait, nobody on the other side actually cares about anything I have to say"?

Because I grew up in a religious family and questioning my beliefs and doing research caused me to change my opinion, and I like to think that most people would enjoy seeking truth instead of sheltering behind their voodoo beliefs for all time.

It's not like you are born either a god believer or not, everything is learned. Besides arguing my side allows me to develop my position and make sure I know what I'm talking about and not just going 'lol I'm an atheist' just to be contrary and being just as ignorant of philosophy and history as the average religious person.

All evidence to the contrary? You are basically just another iteration of "No, gently caress you dad" rebellion. Nothing particularly compelling or well reasoned about your beliefs or how you present them. Case in point

You failed miserably and had to fail back on 'lol god isn't real'.

Just pack this poo poo in, nobody on the other side is listening, and nobody on either side is interesting.

well actually I blew my load in the other identical thread about this subject and didn't really feel like doing the exact same effort posts in this thread and citing all that poo poo again but thanks.

I guess no one can question prevailing beliefs without being a 'no, gently caress you dad' teenager. And why the gently caress are you even in the thread then if you think the whole thing is boring? Is someone putting a gun to your head making you read it over and over lol

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Actually, you are born either a stumpy untermensch or a cool sex-haver, which does determine whether or not you should be a god believer. Some people take a while to figure out which they are, though.
