What Does Atheism Profit Atheists?

[just a believing guy]

What is an example of non material evidence?

So, atheism is still about materialism, then?

Cleese: ‘Life of Brian’

I'd suggest relying on what John Cleese says about the point of the film rather than your own flawed interpretation.

Cleese cannot insult our intelligence.

You what?! :O Go watch it! There are two episodes I think you should start out at:

Blink - a 10th Doctor episode, the first DW episode I saw, one of the scariest, and the one that got me into the series. It's not linked to one of the more story-arc episodes so you won't feel lost.
Rose - the first 9th Doctor episode and the first of the revival series—it's best to start with this rather than the first of Tennant's because there's a few call backs that make sense if you've watched the 9th Doctor's season, plus Rose is a companion that carries over from the 9th's season into 10's first one.

If you have ANY questions whatsoever I'll be more than happy to answer them.

Thank you. I will watch it at some point. It is seriously impinging on my geek credentials.

Cleese cannot insult our intelligence.

True.

But not everyone who knows Christianity, believes it.

''Knowing'' has a deeper meaning here.

Curious answer. When I was a Christian, I was an agnostic theist: I believed, but I didn't claim to know for certain.
Now that I'm an atheist, I'm an agnostic atheist: I don't believe, but I still don't claim to know for certain.

So, if atheism and agnosticism are the two sides of the same coin, then the same could be equally said of theism and agnosticism.

Or, you could be completely wrong...

Theism and agnosticism are more easily reconciled.

We all need help. Seek help from Jesus.

You wouldn't know the meaning of projection if you didn't look inwardly within yourself and see how poor in Spirit you truly are.

Learn to destroy your alter ego and come to Jesus as a broken and contrite heart.

No they wouldn't. They would say it is unknowable.

Now, can you speak for all agnostics?

No/Yes to Atheism is a none consequential emotive that plays its part within the cognitive dissonance. It is like how the wind blows, there is no definite reality of ethics and morality and is all relative to the cognitive dissonant mind that only sees themselves as alive and everything around them as inanimate objects to be somehow integrated within the psychopathic mind that is Athiesm.

Christianity on the other hand is dead to the self and alive to the Living God, which makes them accoubtable as subjects.

Atheism is not a willing subject to anything for it either must control or to better integrate its contradictions in order to appease the self.

To a Christian God is the I Am.
To an Atheist they consider themselves as the I Am.

As Paul would write.....

6The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace, 7because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s Law, nor can it do so.

Atheism and Anarchy are bed partners, they lay foundation for the other, whilst claiming to be the opposite ideology.

An Atheist dictator will lay foundation for absolute anarchust ideology as part of the control apparatus. Whereas an anarchist will lay foundation for Atheistic ideology, by claiming that there is no God and that there is no absolute truth or rule of law.

Fun fact, Hitler—who was most definitely a dictator_was actually Catholic. I haven't really heard of an "atheist dictator".

Offcourse it is LOL for you because of where you have placed the self on the peddle stool.

I think the word you're looking for is "pedestal".

We notice that Athiests provide sensational claims that...

God doesn't exist.

I'm an atheist, I don't make that claim. I lack belief, I don't have belief in a lack.

Understand the difference?

Very weak statement and its a historically false statements, please try and correct it. Study history.

Maybe you should study a little history.

You still aren't paying attention, once you are willing to keep up and realize your question has and always was answered, we can move on, but until then, it's just a waste of both my time and yours.

I asked you to specify which fallacy I committed and where I committed it. I looked back at the old posts and I haven't seen where you've answered that question.

Can you direct me to the post in which you answered my question?

Can you point me to those threads? Also, what exactly is your point, or are you assuming because you have, that's what others do as a general rule? What people "generally" do was my point and I still think, in general Atheists don't go after other religions like they do Christianity. If you say you do, I will ask you to prove it. So again, we''ll start with you, so I can get a general idea if this is rule of thumb, or is not...threads please?

Also, is there an Atheist among you that will step up and tell me I am most likely right, or at least as far as you are concerned?

I've acknowledged that atheists, including myself go after Christianity far more often than other religions, because Christians and Christianity are all over the place in the culture that we live in, other minority religions pose far less of a threat.

If Buddhism was the majority religion and they threatened to infringe on the rights of minorities then I'd be attacking Buddhism far more than Christianity.

As for my online debates, one that comes to mind was a facebook discussion I got into with a Muslim regarding the morality of the Hijab, which morphed into me attacking the existence of Allah and the reliability of the Qur'an.

That was a fun exercise too, because I found Muslims typically defend Islam with the same type of arguments that I find from many Christians on forums like these. However, I learned something new by having to look up and read certain parts of the Qur'an and hear the Muslim perspective on theism. It was actually quite an interesting discussion, however their beliefs have the same fatal logical flaws that christian apologetics do.

 

[Dave Ellis]

Just so we're clear, this is the post where you accused Mr Ellis of committing a fallacy. But no, at no point since have you expanded on what fallacy you believe him to have committed.

Thank you
