if you're content to believe in things there is no evidence to believe in for stupid reasons then theres absolutely nowhere to go from here.
Calling my reasons stupid is awfully close to calling me stupid. I agree there is nowhere to go from here. Your condescending attitude has completely manifested itself.
If you believe in something there is no evidence for then its a stupid belief. You could try and prove me how its not a stupid belief, and what evidence you have for your beliefs, but since your beliefs are based on a personal preference and not deductive logical, then your not going to do this.
People are perfectly capable of being rational in one area of life, and irrational in the other. I have not questioned your moral character, or your intelligent, merely i have remarked that your beliefs are illfounded and without merit. You have done little to nothing to actually prove these ideas above asserting that they are true.
You have done nothing but assert your beliefs and engage in fallacy. God was just always there. How do you know this? you have not attempted to explain in any way.
I have gone into great detail to name and analyze the fallacy and flawed thinking you have engaged in. I have never tried to shut down the debate, and I have tried many different ways to challenge what I believe are your faulty beliefs.
If me calling a spade a spade offends you, tough. I do not buy into the idea that it is some mark of respect to fake that I believe your beliefs have any validity.
If you were saying the same things about Allah, or Raelians, or pixies, I would be acting in the same way.
People can be plenty condescending in conversation. It is possible that I am wrong. It is also possible that you are wrong, however, I am the only one actually trying to explain why I think I am right and why you are wrong, you are happy to engage in evasion and mental masturbation, and completely avoid addressing my criticism on a rational basis.
I have had similar discussions with other religious minded people on this board. One mention of a belief being stupid or ill founded will completely end the discussion, even though the same people will be happy to decry the stupidity of certain political beliefs in the same day.
I would much rather you call my ideas stupid and try to prove it than to completely shun reasoned discourse in the name of politeness. I have been relatively polite, and I think its not too egregious that I have once mentioned the beliefs as being stupid. I have not called you a dumbass or a retard, and I would think its obvious that I think the belief is stupid, otherwise I would believe it to no?
So you can either be oversensitive and stop talking now, or you can take a look at my last post and tell me why im incorrect.
