Whiny Atheists

[Silent Hunter]

No, sadly you make a poor medium.

Meh . . . I wear a large.

 

[Silent Hunter]

What is idiotic about that?

Atheism is NOT a religion.

Perhaps you're not up on current events. :idunno:

Anyone can join . . . even christians.

FSM

 

[WizardofOz]

Atheism is NOT a religion.

I never said it was. :idunno:

There is nothing idiotic about the suggestion though:

The atheist group said that they have contacted the 9/11 Memorial and Museum requesting to display their own atheistic memorial next to the steel-shaped cross, possibly in the form of an atom

And then get a menorah and a kinara and the flying spaghetti monster likely won't be far behind.

Silent Hunter is an atheist?

I'm sure glad Silent you know ALL there is to know to make a statement like there is NO GOD

 

[Silent Hunter]

I never said it was.

Your implication was clear.

Please quote me making such a statement.

So your an agnostic then in reality and not the atheist you claim to be?

I'm an agnostic atheist . . . look it up . . . or are you going to be like the rest of christendom and tell me what I think too?

 

[WizardofOz]

Your implication was clear.

Gotcha, an atheist monument to the atom is a-OK but the flying spaghetti monster has religious overtones that make you a bit uncomfortable.

And then get a menorah and a kinara and the flying spaghetti monster likely won't be far behind.

If the relief workers had found beams that resemble these and made a shrine of sorts out of them then absolutely they should be included as part of the history of the WTC disaster cleanup.

As it is, forcing them in simply for inclusion is just silly without a historical context tying them to the event, which the t-beam cross already has.

If the workers found strength in a stuffed animal or steel that resembled an atom and they propped up it would have equal historical value. But, that's not what actually occurred.

Hey, easy there. I understand atheism/agnosticism. I use to be one, and I thought very thoroughly about my belief options (in regard to God) when I was.

I was just like you in that regard. I was a agnostic/atheist for the most part. Meaning since I had no empirical evidence for a God, I wrote it off as "highly unlikely" or just "unknown". Occasionally, when confronted with the sheer stupidity of people who claimed to be Christian, I thought "there is definitely not a God". I admit that later extension based on foolish "Christian's" was a fallacious argument.

So much straw . . . so little time.

So . . . are you an agnostic theist?

 

[WizardofOz]

It is obvious that you're short on time. You clearly never made it past the first sentence.

The first sentence was humorous. However, I rarely respond to straw man arguments and refuse to do so now.

Indeed ... this is actually one of the few honest arguments I have seen in regards to the existence of the Christian God. You get it.

You're seeing things. Beyond the humor, there was no straw.

If the relief workers had found beams that resemble these and made a shrine of sorts out of them then absolutely they should be included as part of the history of the WTC disaster cleanup.

See? No straw :thumb:

BTW - what does "GFY" stand for? I assume it's an acronym...did you have a bad day yesterday or what?

 

[Silent Hunter]

. . . a whole barn full of straw in fact.

 

[WizardofOz]

. . . a whole barn full of straw in fact.

Your barn is as empty as this declaration. If you don't want to address the reality of why the appeals court has dismissed American Atheists suit, that's fine. Just don't spit down my back and tell me it's raining.

You can think what you want. So your an agnostic. Great.

 

[drbrumley]

You neg rep me for agreeing with you that you can think what you want. My your touchy feely.
