No, to be perfectly honest, I'm happy the threads are performing their intended purposes. The Christian thread is a place for people who are interested to post questions about Christianity and discuss it if they're so inclined, and when they do, I'll join back in. And this is a troll thread, just like it started out being, 30 minutes after I posted the Christian thread.

Wow. I may attack you're beliefs but not your right to state them. Territory you're pretty close to treading on. You're now wearing your frustration on your sleeve. Good! But that is a low blow and I know you know better. If someone made an Atheist thread first a Christian thread would have soon followed. Not out of trolling but out of a sense of equality and fairness.

IMHO all you have shown is how easy it is for fervor to trample reason. It still doesn't change my opinion of you overall, or diminish my appreciation for you presence overall. But, on this one, tiny, meaningless subject we will always remain at odds. Maybe enough discussion will desensitize us to our difference. I don't know. But I know being a Christian or an Atheist doesn't really effect what kind of person someone is overall. You can make assumptions that without a God we have no basis for morals or values. It makes it easier to devalue our ideas if their coming from Godless Heathens. But the sad fact to me is that you need God for morals and values. Maybe, if the threat of hell or the bribe of heaven is necessary for you to justify being a decent human, you're not really a decent human. But I give you more credit than that. I think you're a decent person regardless of belief. A belief that is relative to the traditions and cultures that you just happened to be born into. Us Atheist's actually beat all odds and should have pride in doing so. But it's a pride that in daily life we have to guard closely. Do me a favor. Start telling people you're an Atheist. See for yourself. Let me know how just a month of it feels to you and then multiply that by a lifetime. It wouldn't hurt to see how virtuous your fellow Christian's seem when they see you as an outsider or worse. A cohort of the devil. Or a blind lost soul. As if the conclusions you come to have no value and are derived from either ignorance or a "tainted spirit".

If you don't believe in evolution please stop reaping the benefits of evolutionary science. No more flue shots or vaccines. No genetic testing for the potential for cancers. If you don't believe it stop wasting resources and let God take care of you.

If you don't believe in one science you're discrediting them all because they are all derived from the same basic principles. The Scientific Method. The same processes that proved gravity, the law of thermal dynamics, relativity, also mapped the Universe using background radiation (microwaves). It also provided you with the computers you post on. The cars you drive in, the cell phones you prolly dick off on. Cast it all aside. They are all results of the same processes and formulas that continue to discredit your God more and more.

Sigh. I guess there is no intelligent discussion to be had here. Troll on.

Maybe someday more of the atheists will realize toting the "I R ATHITSE PLZ TROLL ME" sign around with them is a bad idea. The ones that do realize it's a bad idea, more power to ya. Same for all the religious fundies and the more level-headed believers.





...Oh dear. Epiphany. THEY'RE ALL SCRUBS!
