Hmmmm, interesting .....
Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI doubt it. Just look for more brickbats to beat up the stupid believer. If you were interested, you could study the historicity of Christianity from mainstream historical secular sources. I'm not saying that's my route, but I know it is a route for some people.
And I don't need to read biased religious books to know that god does not exist in any flavour, no more than I need to read a book to know Santa does not exist and is purely a story for the kids.
Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostWhat term would you prefer? Non believer, infidel. Godless heretic?
Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostI'm always fascinated how being a Christian provokes such venom and apparent hatred in (thankfully) a few people who probably consider themselves to be good and tolerant and friendly.
I don't see much if any venom towards you or any other believers on here, and certainly no hatred. I'm not the one who suggests we should be tagged as infidels or godless heretics mate.
And let's not forget, over the millennia it's not those who don't believe in a god that have been more prevalent at slaughtering the masses; this has almost exclusively* fallen to the god followers of various flavours. Believers have been quite 'good' at burning at the stake, butchering millions and genocide.

was it so you could show indignation and play the victim?

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostIf that's you're take home from what I said, then fine. I think it's the wrong conclusion to draw, but I'm not seeking to convince you of anything. Except perhaps to chill a little.
Which is why I specifically said "You could study the historicity of Christianity from mainstream historical secular sources.".
I don't feel any indignation and certainly don't feel I'm any kind of victim.
Oh dear. You thought I was being serious. My apologies. I just wondered what term you would prefer. Perhaps "non-religious" is accurate. Or "humourless nurk"? Do you have a preferred pronoun as well?
If you're going to get upset by adults discussing why god does not exist then maybe don't start a thread about religion in General. It's just an idea ... you can have it for freeI am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Again, interesting ... and you think I should chill Feel free to refer to me as a homourless nurk if this makes you feel righteous - I suppose it's better than nailing me to a stake and burning me alive

I'm sure I'm less holier than thou. Glad to know you're chilled. Not quite sure why you think I'm upset. Maybe for the same reason I thought you were, and you claim not to be. It's hard to read emotional context through text.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostOriginally posted by Whorty View PostI'm sorry. Again. You seemed to be upset with me using terms like godless heretic, which were not meant to be taken seriously - you seem to have missed that it was intended as humour, hence the epithet "humourless". "Humourless nurk" comes from an episode of Porridge. Bit obscure, but nah.

Originally posted by Whorty View PostI'm interested to hear what evidence turned you from atheist to believer. Short of god speaking to you, and proving his existence, the evidence is surely just your own blind belief based on something happening in your life?
As for the tag 'atheist', I find it offensive to be called this just because I don't believe that gods exist. I also don't believe in santa existing but I don't see anyone being tagged with a moniker for this.Comment
