Atheism is a belief.

[phlogistician]

says you.

That is what you have observed. You cannot claim to have observed anything more. Here's an old joke for you that illustrates the point;

"There are three men on a train. One of them is an economist and one of them is a logician and one of them is a Physicist. And they have just crossed the border into Scotland and they see a brown cow standing in a field from the window of the train.

And the economist says, "Look, the cows in Scotland are brown."

And the logician says, "No. there are cows in Scotland of which one at least is brown."

And the Physicist says, "No. there is at least one cow in Scotland, of which one side appears to be brown."

 

[phlogistician]

so your point is that people that are atheists must somehow affect those that are not otherwise their only common ground is that they are a group.

No.

 

[buckybeam]

And you're quite sure the results of the actions of those people were in fact the effects of a god?

Please explain how you know? There is a Nobel Prize waiting for you.

i agree that god is an unproven theory. the same way that the big bang is an unproven theory.

 

[buckybeam]

No.

well that appears to be the logic that you have used.

 

[buckybeam]

So, are you saying we won't be seeing your extraordinary explanation and time soon?

Because, maybe you are wrong?

absolutely! and im proud of it.

im not sure what "extraordinary explanation" that is though?

i agree that god is an unproven theory. the same way that the big bang is an unproven theory.

Again, please don't make ridiculous statements about that which you have no clue. Thanks.

 

[buckybeam]

No one will ever "see" those phenomenon.

Using that VERY fallacious argument to support your beliefs is false.

Don't make ridiculous statements about science when you don't know what you're talking about.

ok theres no need for that. i refuse to go on with this "i know you are but what am i" all day. its stupid.

next time why not get frustrated and just hit me in the mouth. that statement has about the same results.

ditto stupid statement

 

[(Q)]

That would be the extraordinary explanation that you were going to give in which YOU are able to recognize the effects of god in people. Like I said, there is a Noble Prize waiting for you if you can explain this amazing phenomenon.

I didn't think so. So much hot air...

It's frustrating when theists like yourself make ridiculous statements about science, when they clearly have no idea what they're talking about.

Then, to use those statements to support their beliefs is insulting to the intellect.

So, you would be the one doing the insulting, not me.

:bugeye:

to be sure of this

to be so sure of ones self to not contemplate another possibility is foolhardy. at the same time i would not discriminate against those that are.

and assume that i am always right would make me a hypocrite.

 

[phlogistician]

well that appears to be the logic that you have used.

Exactly not. I've said you can't group people by what they are NOT.

You cannot imply that two people who are NOT one thing have a similarity in another area not connected with what they are NOT.

You got it backwards. Pay attention.

Just wondering which idiot agreed with this guy that god is an "unproven theory."

you need to elaborate. see im part of the group that does NOT think you have a point.

 

[phlogistician]

You can't see my point through the huge hole in your arguments?

You need glasses, kid.

what hole?

i wear glasses

 

[phlogistician]

what hole?

i wear glasses

Go re-read the thread. You lose the plot entirely.

Oh, and get an eye test, seems your prescription has changed.

 

[buckybeam]

ok good

please site examples?

Your post #877

so your point is that people that are atheists must somehow affect those that are not otherwise their only common ground is that they are a group.

How the fuck did you arrive at this conclusion?

Everything I have stated is that you cannot infer what a group is, or does, by something it is not. Then you come up with that abortion of a sentence above.

Really kid, you need to pay more attention.
