  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Truth, beauty and goodness

Your idea of 'truth, beauty and goodness' consists of the the following,

-Pretending to possess knowledge that you categorically, demonstrably do not posses,
-Making abysmally ignorant naked assertions about atheism and other topics about which you know absolutely nothing
-Repeating said naked assertions over and over again, despite being corrected

At least your god has an excuse for such ineptitude - he doesn't exist. You are without that excuse.

The God who gave you life, and the choice to continue on,
Allegedly.
simply won't resurrect you from the death of the mortal mind mechanism loaned to you for this short life IF, by choice, you choose death.
If this is an option, and not simply an imagined fantasy.
It is a matter of the complete investment of your will to rebellion against your creator Father.
I am not rebelling. I simply not convinced that your unevidenced claims are a description of reality.
There is nowhere else for you to go, no other God to team up with. The gig is up for Lucifer's folly, it could never work.
By all objective measures to date, there are no gods at all, outside of stories in books.:wave:

I'm wondering why you're avoiding answering my question, considering the problem of the Dragon in your garage is meant to show how Christians ( or theists ) are devious in addressing the existance of God.
And it just did that. :)
As a skeptic, I'm only interested in physical evidence. Has your Dragon left any physical evidence of his presence ? ( he asks for the third time :D )
I infer from your insistent question that you would invoke the fallacy of special pleading for topics such as "God".

The analogy has done its job. (I let the dragon go free :cool:)

So you are saying that atheists do NOT promote godlessness and death, but a different god and eternal life following the authority of this god... and simply got it wrong?

Could you please just make up your mind about what you lie about your counterpart is believing?
No, you have reading comprehension issues.

Atheist, as in you on this forum, are more than neutral, faith-pacifists. Atheist of your type promote Godless ideals, like Mark who wants to eliminate Christianity.

I sourced the origins of those ideals and the fall of our world, Lucifer. He lost faith in the unseen Father of all as well.

Atheists don't believe in Lucifer and don't get their ideals from Lucifer. You may want to try that again.

In other words, I hit a nerve and you just make stuff up.

Atheist are, in a spiritual sense, ignorant as to what is happening to them and where their doctrines of doubt come from beyond their own egotistical ruminations. It's the bubble of a fools universe.

Atheist hate being generalized, but as it terns out, non-conformist are all alike, and that just makes them all the more angry people!

I'm not sure I know of any group that likes blanket labels, bald assertions and all.

So again, where did you get your mind reading skills?

Unable to substantiate your own position, you default to veiled insults.

That's what atheist do, they pick an issue that is very subjective so when a religious person cant meet this demand for undeniable proof, they use this as proof of their contentions. This takes a very shallow sort of person, someone who is not aware of this may not realize what's happening.

Atheists consider theists claims as unsubstantiated. When you cannot substantiate your claims, you simply concede this point. Your constant repetition that your claims are objectively true is simply another internal contradiction in your worldview.

You have nothing to offer: no wisdom, no truth, no beauty, no knowledge.

All you can do is to villify those who disagree with your claims.


If I was a theist, I might connect this behaviour with Lucifer in some way. As I am an atheist, I can only hold you personally responsible for that.

Again with the insults.

If I am ignorant of what you only imagine to be true, so be it.
