It is how atheists think. I used to be puzzled why they could not see beyond a particular point in an argument, now I realise that they simply can't.
Or maybe, you cant see beyond a particular point in an argument Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Or maybe you can't. Your argumentation is very short-sighted at this point. You are essentially arguing that if someone doesn't agree with you, or doesn't get your point, that is their fault; that they are in error.
This is an extreme religious view, whether it comes from a theist or an atheist. Both would be equally wrong about the other.
No, I am saying that if I flip their arguments and present them with the new package, they cannot recognise them. They will then argue my points for me and still not recognise them. IOW, they can only argue from one position.
When I read about the Piraha, I realised that there could be a biological basis for it. Religion and abstract thinking are linked. Atheists could just think in a different way. Hence I have decided it would be unfair to engage them in religious dialogue.
That's not true. Firstly, you are grossly generalizing. Secondly, simply parroting their arguments in your favor is not quite the same as arriving at them on your own. Don't you think people recognize when something is off about your 'adopted' arguments ? It's probably what they mean when they call you intellectually dishonest.
And no doubt a lot of them do, but they may simply not agree with the usage. Hence the response you often get (see previous post)
The responses I often get [see your responses here, for instance] are only confirmation of the fact. Its why you see threads like "what would you do to stay out of hell" by atheists.
What's wrong with my responses ? I'm just interested in your reasons, and ask questions about them. You are that the one that starts with the insults. I do not associate with such threads, thank you.
This is insulting because it's a gross generalization: So you're saying no atheist ever thinks things through. I find that insulting. Are you really surprised ?
Ah, see the atheist argument is that theists are delusional, they see and believe in things that do not exist. Same argument, flipped around. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Again, you're generalizing.. The word 'atheist' does not mean 'someone that thinks theists are deluded'. Besides, you have nothing to base your assumptions on atheist thinking on. Atheists at least base it on observable reality.
Find me one that doesn't and we can both laugh about it. No, but I've never heard you defending the other side have I? It made 'sense' to you until it was flipped, then you made all my arguments for me.
