Thread: 10 Questions for an Intelligent Christian

It is not arbitrary to say that a fraction of a percent doesn't make a good representation of the whole. .005% isn't an accurate representation by anyone's definition. My definition of significant number doesn't really matter, when we are speaking of such a tiny percent.

To make the claim that religion is dangerous, you would have to show that there is an increase in people acting poorly because of religion, when you have shown nothing of the sort.

According to the video, if you are an atheist who is open to the idea of a god, you are delusional. Which was my point, that he is calling everyone delusional, including people with belief systems he didn't even talk about. He made a poorly made generalization of everyone.

I was saying the numbers were arbitrary..

What is it with people and being unable to properly set forth arguments without screwing it all up?

Do you really want more evidence of this? Because there certainly is.

No it doesn't - where does it say that? You're screwing it up again, pay attention.

Now this is just sad; you're really mis-representing what he has said and not even properly saying what he said. Is that really the best defense you got? Because that is not what was said in the video.

Even if it was, that is not what I am saying and the rest of the content remains valid.

How about some evidence, such as a source instead of random images? And yes, the video clearly states that if you even believe in the possibility of a god, then you are delusional. The video is very clearly on that, that there can be no wiggle room. It claims to prove god can't possibly exist, and so even considering it, makes you delusional. If you don't believe me, watch the video again, to the end.

It doesn't say there is no god, it says god doesn't care about or interfere with humans.
