Thread: I have come to appreciate the Christians here

And yes, I am needcatscan on that forum as well, three posts, the only three I will ever make on that forum.

EDIT: My posts were deleted for those coming in late

My goodness. Yes, the ones here are at least respectable people.

Being a Christian, I can safely say I sometimes regret the people who follow my God

Having been a Christian, I can say something similar. There are some people who have warped Christianity to something it really shouldn't be.

Holy shit




...That looks like fun

It was funny, there was 10 pages of a "Christian" tearing them up and saying things much more condescending than I said, but since he was labeled a christian they were extremely nice and polite. I go in and don't say anything half as insulting but since I wasn't a christian they tore me up.

Kind of funny really.

Just don't be too surprised if your posts on there are deleted. Happened to me.

(Where's that other thread about that forum gone?)

You've made two flaws:

• You resorted to insulting phrasing when arguing your point against the theists.
• You are now posting (speaking) about others behind their back.

It seems that both these things show that you are just what you argued against.

Both theists and atheists are the same: jumping to one extreme or the other on a topic that has no relevance to your life, no effect on it whatsoever aside from debating it with other people.

The only open-minded and truly wise approach to the matter of religion is not caring about it whatsoever.

I tried not to be insulting, I think the worst thing I said was the guy previously had torn up all their arguments, which was true. There were no ad hominem attacks.

As far as talking about them behind their backs, so what? Besides, I'm being complementary towards the theists here and not in a disparaging way. I am genuinely saying that the theists here are nicer and aren't stuck up their own asses, they present valid arguments that we can debate with.

And yet you're debating something that only concerns you because you make it your concern out of lack of meaningful debates, unfortunately.

Being an atheist, I can safely say that you did a very poor job of evangelizing our viewpoint

Gee, that's too bad.

Jesus has some very good lessons to teach (as do many religious figures). But one doesn't need a church to realize them.

In many cases, the establishments can hinder the true purpose of the religion. My favorite paradigm of this is the various "Holy" wars.

This dicussion has no effect or relevance to your life. Why are you not open-minded and truly wise enough to not care about people caring about religion?

I'm trying to get some sort of reply to my position. Up to this point, all my "interventions" have ended in nothing being replied in the end or in some sort of stalemate (the kind caused by lack of understanding, rather than lack of arguments that lead to stalemates between theists and atheists). Not sure if that means that my position is infallible or if others just don't understand it but that sparks curiosity, leading me to inject my position into more threads here.

Besides, things that have real meaning to me I'm patient enough to keep to myself. So, aye, this is out of curiosity and a bit of boredom, I suppose.

Just that fact that you participate enough to say that people should quit arguing about it should tell you something. Pointing this out was supposed to be ironic. Even you, who says it means nothing to him one way or another, is being effected.

I'm not affected by religion. I'm affected by these debates. And I never said I don't care about other people. I simply don't care about the existence of a god.

Haha your last post was awsome and so true doesnt look like they had a comeback to that.

Notice you started out by compilenting them, then they just attacked you; and UM was right! What a load of morons!

Erm... You DID wipe that bullshit they threw at you off before you came and posted... here... Right?

Make up your mind.
