If God were real, you wouldn’t need a book

It's an insult.

The main difference is whether it's personal or not.

Example:
1. Believing there is or isn't a God is irrational since there's no evidence either way.
2. You're irrational.

You can be insulted, too, Dutch. As you know, I could hardly care less what you and Cypress imagine about my intentions. I dare either of you to explain to me how a belief in a god is rational. You can't. So both of you can fan yourselves and sniff your smelling salts in private.
 
Cypress said:
I don't care if you called Christianity irrational.

This is a message board where people are free to disagree and give their opinion.
I gave us the reasons that I believe the classical arguments for god are rational, if not necessarily true.

You crossed a line when you started calling me irrational, and making judgments about me based on the gossip of a known liar and sock puppet.

Try calling your boss or clients irrational.

I never complain when anyone posts something true about Christianity - like sexual abuse in the church, or theocrats introducing biblical education. I contribute threads about that kind of Christian bullshit too.

But I'm entitled to respond when somebody writes something incorrect about religion. The original post in this thread was a ridiculous strawman.

You are as much agnostic as Damocles is libertarian. I didn't call you irrational. I said your beliefs are irrational. You're also a fucking idiot, so there's that.
 
Cypress said:
It's hard to fathom anyone would attempt to claim calling someone irrational is not an insult.

I invited Diesel to try calling his clients or bosses irrational if he needs to test this.

It's a fucking word with a fucking meaning. Irrational is irrational. Does green gets its feelings hurt when I call it green? Grow the fuck up. You, Dutch, and gmark, all of you.

He's very angry at people who do the hard work of reading books, watching debates, podcasts, and lectures.

A frantic five minute Google search is about the amount of work Perry is willing to invest in self-education.

That's rich. You said virtually the same thing about me after I told you multiple times that I have studied religion my entire life. Then you repeated that I did a 5-minute Google search. You're a liar. You're not credible. Your blatant insecurities influence your interactions with other people. You aren't honest with or about yourself. You give yourself too much credit, but I do appreciate your earnestness.

@Diesel made me laugh out loud today. I don’t know why, but his choice of one word did it.

Instead of asking “What in the fuck are you talking about?”, he added one word - “actual”.

“What in the ACTUAL fuck….” just has so much more punch to it that I had to chuckle.

It’s the small things, ya know…

Syntax is everything. Since English is my second language, I committed myself to mastering it. I think I'm a really effective communicator, but it is those little flairs that make a message more effective.

Of course I can as MAGAts who post about me often do. If you couldn't care less then why are you posting about it?

Scroll up; I never said belief in God was rational, but thanks for the goalpost moving. I addressed the difference between a personal attack and an opinion on something. IIRC, I did post that beliefs such as atheism and theism are irrational since there's no way to prove their beliefs.

Thanks again for the personal attacks. It always interests me when someone moves from rational discussion to irrational, highly emotional mudslinging.
 
Dutch Uncle said:
What, specifically, is my problem, Diesel? The fact some people are so angry and misguided they don't know the difference between a comment about a subject and a personal attack? Why is that my problem? They're idiots. It'd be best if they took a bunch of fentanyl and freed the rest of us to live in peace.

What I already said, Dutch. If someone feels offended by me calling their irrational beliefs irrational, then they should double their therapy sessions.

As you and I have discussed before, militant atheists are as emotional and irrational as Bible-thumpers.

Dutch Uncle said:
I love watching atheists and theists try to push their beliefs onto each other. LOL

It's not a statement of fact. It's your opinion.

Everything that has an origin has a cause.​
​
Something does not come from nothing.​
​
Rational mathematical design does not come from random inanimate chance.​
​
Therefore, the universe is the creation of some purposeful and rational organizing entity.​


^^ That is a perfectly rational logical syllogism.

It doesn't mean it's true, but it's not irrational.

It is the farthest thing from rational logic that I can imagine.

"Everything that has an origin has a cause." Says who?

"Something does not come from nothing." Is that so?

"Rational mathematical design does not come from random inanimate chance." Maybe it does.

"Therefore, the universe is the creation of some purposeful and rational organizing entity." Prove it.

That entire "syllogism", respectfully, is bat shit insane.

Again, you miss the point about the difference between saying a person is irrational and saying a person's beliefs are irrational. No worries. After a few days of this, I believe you are simply unable to understand the difference.

I've seen plenty of derogatory things written about you by your message board rivals, but I never gave it any credence or traction.

You are mentally unwell. I didn't judge you based on anything except the words you posted. Be accountable.

Atheists don't hate Christians.
They are not supremacist either.

The Church of No God is a fundamentalist style religion.

The Atheists are just slightly more militant than radical Islam in their desire for forced conversion.

An agnostic is a person who is not convinced there is a god or gods.

An Atheist is one who has absolute faith in god and is at war against that god.

Thanks for openly proving which one of us was actually triggered, belligerent, and insulting throughout this thread

The entire thread is open for review, bruh. You are unhinged. I tried to be reasonable with you. You got into a bitch slap fight with gmark and completely lost your composure. I'm all set.

What did I say that turned you into an attack victim?

Read the thread again. Every time I want to give you a chance you prove that you're an intentional asshole. What a weird life choice.
