Like me you seem ...This was an excellent post Hump! Like me you seem to like the direct approach. Unfortunately, it seems that to date no approach seems to be working. It almost seems like when it comes to words like reason, critical think, etc. we are speaking a different language than the theists. Some even have the audacity to equate their silly beliefs to science or their very own definition to the word reason.<br /><br />I've been saying for the past eighteen years that as long as their are gullible people there will be religions. There will always be those that choose to run with their idea of absolute certainty based on nothing more than the pointless and empty concept of faith.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-8610465385632220622012-03-12T05:54:33.953-04:002012-03-12T05:54:33.953-04:00@Bill

It that is ...Let us agree, there is no coincidence? It that is true then there is no temporal illusion. So, if one thing happens after another, then the first thing caused it to happen. It is not a coincidence that these two events occurred in close time proximity. And, if you don’t believe that then you are using an excuse? What about if you believe that you are using poor logic? Saying no coincidence is like saying there is no difference between correlation and causation. It seems like I am taking about an argument that was settled during the middle ages, but theists forgot they lost this argument so we have to be subjected to the same illogic again and again. The main reason I am not bored with theist arguments from the dark ages is that I feel so frustrated and angry that we have to go over the same thing again and again because theists don’t keep track of arguments they lose. They just wait a decade or more and use them again.Bill Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778417089466176706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-22014608651991682102012-03-09T21:31:01.610-05:002012-03-09T21:31:01.610-05:00Ignorance in any arena can be forgiven as long as ...Ignorance in any arena can be forgiven as long as the pursuit of knowledge is not forsaken and that ignorance mitigated as much as possible. Personal wilfull ignorance is the worst kind of crime against the intellect.

The fact that they do not want to understand things like probability or statistical analysis or reason makes them as dumb as doorknobs.<br /><br />Their foolish argument “Coincidence is the atheist’s excuse for non belief.” can then be called the <b>"Argument of the door knobs"</b><br /><br />Note to HUMP: the subscribing option is gone.
