Last year I posted about the
militant atheistic attack against Christianity (as well as the logical inconsistency of their militancy.) At long last, a flaming atheist has decided to respond. Out of Christian charity, I will promote this dialog to a full fledged post rather than leaving it
buried in the comments...
The commenter that identifies him/herself as "speaker of the truth" says;
really well im an Atheist and i am sure that you bible banging Christians will all aggree that any religon needs to be treated as equal and just because when we say something that was PROVEN like the Big Bang you plug your ears and walk away does NOT make you right
you are just talking trash about us calling us "downright militant" when in truth every war EVER had some form of religon behind it and never was that religon Atheism. look at the "Holy" crusades how many people where killed alot how many didnt even draw a weapon almost every one you caring and loving Christians killed millions of people that didnt do a thing and all this was in the name of your god(your god the holy one thats pure good)killed millions of people please feel free to tell me how the creator of everything is pure good when he made evil(and if satin made evil then did god make satin if not then whos to say satin didnt make the world and if he did the you worshipe pure evil but if god did make satin then why did he make him and why not destroy him)
Speaker, it is very difficult for me to refute your argument, because frankly, it is very hard to understand exactly what you are trying to say. See, at this point of human evolutionary development, mankind has supposedly mastered the skill of communicating abstract concepts using written language, thereby achieving mastery over the other primates. Unfortunately, your lack of punctuation, proper spelling, and other norms of higher communication demonstrate de-evolutionary progress on your part, placing your communications skills at slightly higher than that of a lemur. While you may be able to use a keyboard, evolution has not taught you how to reason and relate rationally. Be that as it may, I will attempt to pick apart your statement and derive meaning from it.
For starters, you (might have) said;
Really. (As in "Really, everything you said was true.") or
Really? Well. (As in "Do you really believe that? So be it.") or
Really? Well im an Atheist. (As in "Do you mean that? Then log into your Instant Messenger and shout out to nogod243.")
Or perhaps you meant to say;
Really, well I am an atheist, and...
Moving on, you go on to say;
i am sure that you bible banging Christians will all aggree that any religon needs to be treated as equal
I do not bang my Bible, I read it. I also do not "aggree" that false religions should be treated as having an equal claim to truth as Christianity.
...any religon needs to be treated as equal and just because when we say something...
Are you saying then that atheism is a belief system/religion that deserves equal footing with the other religions of the world? I would agree that atheism is a religion, and that you have taken it's claims entirely on faith.
...something that was PROVEN like the Big Bang...
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. BANG. Are you telling me that your belief system validates the creation model of origins? Oh, wait, I think you'd argue instead that there was an uncaused cause that caused the big bang. Everything came from nothing. Yeah, now THAT makes a lot of sense. And it can be PROVEN!
...you plug your ears and walk away...
What makes me plug my ears and walk away is incoherent ranting of the type you're presenting. Let's discuss this rationally, and using proper sentence construction, then I may give it the time of day. Other wise, (fingers in ears) "Nyah, nyah, nyah, I can't hear what you're saying!"
...when we say something... you plug your ears and walk away does NOT make you right
No, what makes me right is the fact that my truth claim is correct. God created the universe, and no amount of putting fingers in your ears and shouting "Big Bang" is going to change that fact.
At last, we get to the really interesting part of speaker's argument... the paragraph break!
[paragraph break]
That's the most comprehensible argument you've made yet! Outstanding use of the "enter" key. Alas, I fear that this is the high point of your entire rant.
you are just talking trash about us calling us "downright militant"...
No, I am talking trash about your lack of proper capitalization and punctuation. (Hint: use the "Shift" key at the beginning of a sentence. Proper capitilzation was covered in the third grade.)
...when in truth...
TRUTH CLAIM ALERT! WARNING, TRUTH CLAIM TO FOLLOW!
...every war EVER had some form of religon behind it...
Wow, a real history major! So, World War 1 was fought because... Archduke Francis Ferdinand wanted to become a Buddhist? The Vietnam War happened because... JFK wanted to dunk Ho Chi Minh in a tub of holy water? Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait... to get rid of all those pesky Methodists? Wow, I feel so much smarter now that you have taught me the real history of warfare!
...and never was that religon Atheism.
France, 1789. Russia, 1917.
Ukraine, 1932. Cuba, 1959. 'Nuff said.
...look at the "Holy" crusades how many people where killed alot how many didnt even draw a weapon almost every one you caring and loving Christians killed millions of people that didnt do a thing and all this was in the name of your god(your god the holy one thats pure good)killed millions of people...
This argument is just plain tired, so I won't waste so much time refuting it. Unholy things were done in the name of a Holy God. Exaggerating about them years later does not make them worse than they were, however. Millions dead? Not from the crusades. How many died at the hands of the loving and compassionate atheists
Stalin and
Mao Tse Tung? There you will find your hundreds of millions dead. Let me state this as simply as I can;
Crusades, thousands. Atheistic communism, millions.
...please feel free to tell me how the creator of everything is pure good...
Because He is God.
...when he made evil...
Evil is not a created thing, but rather a state of being that came into existence as a result of man's freewill choice. I can say that evil exists, because I believe in a God that created a universe that allows for its existence. How is it that you believe such a thing as evil exists?
(and if satin made evil then did god make satin if not then whos to say satin didnt make the world and if he did the you worshipe pure evil but if god did make satin then why did he make him and why not destroy him)
That last statement is just too confused to even bother with... Why don't you go evolve a little more and come back when you can clearly say what it is you are trying to think. In the meantime, consider this; If I am wrong and you are right, what difference does it make? We are all no more than a cosmic passing of gas, and one hundred million people dead from one cause or the other is nothing more than a pimple squirt. Please tell me how I am wrong about that.
