Well he can come here and try and put me down if he wants.
That's more like it!My apologies for leaving you out, AV. Yeah, he's putting down you as well.
Wasn't Jesus criticized for eating with sinners?It's biblical to not listen to godless people. I don't think the writers spent all that ink and animal skin so modern Christians would ignore that advice.
Alas, most trained medical doctors have no gods. They are godless. Will you disregard their training because of it?I'm not listening to your advice, trust me.
I'm talking about taking advice or wisdom or knowledge from certain people, not having a conversation with them.
Again, I've read plenty of what he wrote. He's a hateful old man.No, if you've read any of his books (and from previous discussion, you have only read what people have said about him) then you would see that what he argues against is fundamentalist thinking. And the people he derides aren't Christians per se. But those like yourself who hold to fundamentalist beliefs in the face of painfully obvious scientific evidence.
Again, you aren't paying attention to what I'm saying. The Bible is full of advice to not take any kind of counsel from fools and one kind of a fool biblically is a godless individual. Has nothing to do with eating with them or associating with them.Wasn't Jesus criticized for eating with sinners?
It is the same thing.It's not really the same thing, but how would I know?
So you want unreality to dominate.1 Corinthians 3:19-20 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness; and again, The Lord knows that the reasonings of the wise are meaningless.
WRONG!.Wisdom according to secular thinking is meaningless reasoning.
Only to youIt's the big flaw to the so called age of reason.
Only if he suffers some serious mental and emotional illness.A person relying on his own wisdom can reason anything away or reason himself into believing anything.
By not deciding.Not sure how you decided most doctors are atheists.
Go ask a random sample of 100 medical doctors. Or better yet, EVERY graduate from a Canadian medical program since 1995.I highly doubt that is statistically true.
I don't think anyone is taking religious advice from Dawkins or other atheists. I believe that you would be much more likely then myself to agree with Dawkins demeaning of LGBT and transgender people. Even the American Humanist Association withdrew an honor given to Dawkins over a decade ago because of those views.Again, you aren't paying attention to what I'm saying. The Bible is full of advice to not take any kind of counsel from fools and one kind of a fool biblically is a godless individual. Has nothing to do with eating with them or associating with them.
Weed it and reap:Alas, most trained medical doctors have no gods. They are godless. Will you disregard their training because of it?
The Hippocratic Oath is an oath of ethics historically taken by physicians. It is one of the most widely known of Greek medical texts. In its original form, it requires a new physician to swear, by a number of healing gods, to uphold specific ethical standards.
Surely he is not unique in that (and your opinion is shared by many who accept the theory of evolution) but it does not explain your fascination with him.Again, I've read plenty of what he wrote. He's a hateful old man.
Different people have different ideas of who the fools are.Again, you aren't paying attention to what I'm saying. The Bible is full of advice to not take any kind of counsel from fools and one kind of a fool biblically is a godless individual.
And why would you judge me? Why would you expect me to make fun of certain people groups?I don't think anyone is taking religious advice from Dawkins or other atheists. I believe that you would be much more likely then myself to agree with Dawkins demeaning of LGBT and transgender people. Even the American Humanist Association withdrew an honor given to Dawkins over a decade ago because of those views.
Jerry Falwell isn't a person I would admire. I believe Jesus would call him a hypocrite. So that might put him in the " fool" category. As far as I know the others mostly lived what they preach, so biblically speaking would not be fools.Different people have different ideas of who the fools are.
Personally, my definition would include Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell Jr., Kent Hovind, Ken Ham, Tony Alamo, Ted Haggard, etc..
You may notice that these individuals are all "god-fearing" people.
Not fascination. The only thing that's different about him and a lot of other militant atheists is he has a platform that he uses to denigrate religious people.Surely he is not unique in that (and your opinion is shared by many who accept the theory of evolution) but it does not explain your fascination with him.
Certainly you have not shown us your humorous side, but you freely demean other people and groups.And why would you judge me? Why would you expect me to make fun of certain people groups?
Really? I've heard atheists say they would not believe in God even if he came down and talked to them. That's a pretty serious stance to take, where you won't even listen to your senses if they tell you something you don't like.Only if he suffers some serious mental and emotional illness.
Or has some deep religious indoctrination to disrupt his reasoning
Are you jealous because you only have this small platform?Not fascination. The only thing that's different about him and a lot of other militant atheists is he has a platform that he uses to denigrate religious people.
Like? I only quoted what the Bible says about atheists. That's not my judgment, it's God's. I tend to get along with most people I meet, whatever they happen to believe.Certainly you have not shown us your humorous side, but you freely demean other people and groups.
