I'm just not into that or you.
I'm sorry, in what universe is the bible considered evidence for the truth of the claims in the bible.
Have you even heard of the concept of a circular argument?
Yeah, you keep thinking that. It's your "go-to" argument against the Bible.
A shame it's not true.
PS. And oh, btw, would it kill you to, even once, assume that I have a brain, instead of "she's blond so she must be dim, and oh yeah, she's a woman, so QED."
Originally posted by Metacomedian I was inspired by a divine revelation. A spirit visited me in my dreams and told me I should embrace the lack of faith; that if people saw me as an atheist they'd want to be believers.

Or does teaching children about god only mean a Christian god?
"Nothing wrong with teaching children something which is completely unverifiable as fact?" How was I to tell you weren't talking about Christianity? You've said this exact thing about Christianity before.
And really, I can only defend Christianity of your charges. I'm not an adherent of any other religion and so cannot begin to defend them.
Originally posted by FreakyKBH I understood it just fine: you contradicted yourself thereby rendering your comment nonsense.

Gentlemen, PLEASE!
(Somehow, I'd like to think that in this forum, we would be a cut above speech like this that pollutes so many other forums. Attack the ideas, not the man. I mean, post this in General, and I might laugh. Here, not so much.)

Where did googlefudge say anything remotely like this? Links please.

Says the person who recently claimed I and other atheists were just too stupid to understand your posts.

I do think you have a brain, that's why I keep trying to have discussions with you.
I don't think you're stupid, I just think you're wrong.
Why do you always have to impute my motives and attack what you THINK I am
thinking when I post instead of my actual arguments.

This is how the conversation went.

Children all around the world (like some Muslim countries) are taught to believe
in a god, even before they are able to understand what a god is. No "profound
transformation" happens here; children in those societies simply accept what
they're taught, and grow up believing in a god.

Not that there's anything wrong with that
Clearly we are not just talking about Christianity.

Nobody asked you to defend other religions. The question is whether or not you think that other religions indoctrinating their kids with mumbo jumbo is a good thing.
