Isn't it just as bad for an Atheist to call a Theist delusional, as it is for a Theist to condemn them?

Question

Alpha and Omega,

Either way, it is an attack on someone's personal belief.

Answer 1

I say it a little worse for a theist to damn a non believer to a fiery pit, while us atheists just say, "You have got it all wrong!"

It is an attack on each other, however, both of us are dealing with stuff we don't know, so i dont see why we even argue over it!

Answer 2

I don't think I would call it bad for an Atheist to say these things, but it is ignorant and laughable. I don't care what they call me. It is one of the many normal straw men they put up.

However, for a Christian to be hateful is far worse because we claim to love them. So in effect that makes us liars. Honestly nothing they do to us can compare because they have no fundamental claims to a code of conduct. We do.

Answer 3

I have never once called a theist delusional.

Answer 4

the undeniable fact that this human getting used the bible as his "evidence" is incorrect. that's no longer evidence. there is not any self sustaining evidence that God wrote the bible - different than the bible saying that he did. there is not any point out of God coming up the bible in the different literature. hence no evidence. all and sundry would have written it. it somewhat is talked approximately as a around argument, and in technology, employing the evidence as evidence while the evidence has no longer yet been shown, is thoroughly faulty. edited - I did watch the video, yet curiously I neglected the sarcasm. sorry.

Answer 5

if it is done without backing up the allegation, yes, i think it is almost as bad. of course, a delusion can be discarded (or shown to be correct after all). condemnation tends to be a bit more final, or at least, so we are told.

Answer 6

So when the psychiatrist calls the crazy nut a "crazy nut" that's wrong? I know it's wrong when the crazy nut calls the psychiatrist crazy for not believing in his crazy world of leprechauns and dancing jujubes.....but well....you see what I'm getting at don't you?

Answer 7

yes,
in the absence of a scientific proof to the contrary atheists have *faith* god does not exist, just as believers have *faith* he does. Neither position is intellectually honest.

Answer 8

Pointing fingers when you're right is part of the solution.

Answer 9

In my opinion, it is the same as them trying to convert us to atheism. By telling us if we believe in God we are delusional, they are saying that they are right and we are wrong. That sounds like what some of them accuse us of.

Answer 10

No, only if you are looking at things from some politically correct point of view. Otherwise it is fine, because religion is literally a big delusion.
