Let me make a suggestion here: Just I as do for certain annoying behaviors with my son – ignore this silly troll and don’t provide him with the negative attention he obviously craves. We all are fully aware he cannot support any of his claims and that is the nature of such trolls. So, let’s just stop feeding him and eventually he will learn, just like any child, that such negative behavior won’t get him his desired outcome and hopefully cease and desist his transparent and juvenile attempts at proving nothing.

Ignoring your problem of justification won't go away.

"Can you justify your lack of belief in atheism?"

Get it? Otherwise, reconstruct that statement to make it sound appropriate for your belief system.

Atheism is just another semantics game.

Cool.

Is it ok then if I go on believing Atheism is just another religion? And if not, why not? And if so, I've proved my point.

WJ,

I agree. You have proved our point.

Get it?

(Sorry Brighid, of course you are absolutely right.

WJ,

"non-sequiturs"

Are you sure that is relevent here?


Bwahahahaha!!!

There are those of us who never participate in threads like this, but who frequently lurk. We who lurk get the point--WJ is a fucking idiot who wouldn't recognize a point if it poked him in the eye. There's no need to respond to his posts any longer as they merely derail the subject at hand. I come here and open the thread thinking the conversation is continuing and the substance of the thread turns out to be WJ's thread-farts. I second (or third, or fourth--whichever it is by now) the move for participants to ignore the obvious troll.

And now that I gave vent to my frustration, carry on...

Agreed. WJ hasn't offered us any arguments worth considering. There's no point in cluttering the boards with his pointless diversions.

brighid, I know you're right about ignoring this clown, but sheesh!! My apologies to all involved if I give him further encouragement.

WJ: "Is it ok then if I go on believing Atheism is just another religion?"

For all I care, you can believe that the universe emerged from the asshole of an enormous, invisible gnat if it gets you off. You can't or won't think in terms other than your own peculiar definitions, so what difference does it make? You've utterly failed to demonstrate that atheism is in any meaningful sense a religion, and your silly attempt to equivocate believing x and lacking a belief in x is unfounded and tiresome. (BTW, it's cute how you wrote atheism with an upper-case "a". More weasel tactics, I see.)

It's clear to me that your ridiculous, groping exercise in illogic and semantics bending is nothing other than an attempt to impute to others the weaknesses of your own position. You need there to be equivalence between theism and non-theism because otherwise you actually might have to bring something to the table in terms of justifying your belief in invisible, mythological entities. Since you can't (and know it), you try to short-circuit the discussion with this BS.

Why don't you shit or get off the pot? Can you justify your belief in some deity? If not, the default position remains the reasonable alternative. Get it?

Never mind. I already know the answer to that.

Verifiable evidence, troll. Provide it or go get bent.

WJ

Finch!

Until folks like you can justify that your belief is objectively true, then your belief is simply that, a belief. Or, your belief is not based on anything at all. Just a figment of your imagination (like a theist). And if you have a belief based on a nonexistent thing or an imaginatary thing, why are you talking about it?

If you can't justify why you take the position you do, other than you have no belief, all you've stated is an oxymoron.

If God doesn't exist, why bother arguing about a non existent thing?
