Atheists, is there a bruise forming on your forehead too?

Question

I think I almost saw stars when last I thunked my head against my desk in response to some "logic" shown here in R&S.

Christians, I'm sorry to say that it was from one of you. But feel free to answer this too. (And everyone else.) I know plenty of atheists commit logical fallacies too.

(And does anyone have an asprin?)

Zinger!: I once saw the tired excuse, "I can't see God, so I know he doesn't exist" from a very juvenile atheist. It was sad.

And often, though sorely provoked, we fall into the pit of ad hominem rather than actual debate.

Answer 1

I've gone through four computer monitors because of banging my head into it . My people as well as atheists say the stupidest things .

and I use Excedrin migraine .

Answer 2

This is a very good question! Personally, I don't believe the Holy Spirit inspired people to form different denominations. The reason I don't believe that is because He would never tell someone to do something that He knew would result in divisions within the body of Christ. One has only to read Acts 2:41-47 to understand what the Holy Spirit's intentiions were from the beginning. God bless!!!

Answer 3

I know EXACTLY what you mean. During college, I took a bunch of logic classes. It is about "If ___, Then ___." but so many people here just don't have a clue at what real logic is. They see it as something that Mr. Spock had instead of love.

It's like the statement: "If sky is blue and the grass is green, then I must know how to ski." There is absolutely no link. All of the statements might be true, but not because of each other. It is a completely illogical conclusion.

Or "If I don't understand something, then god must exist..." Duh, didn't you know? It is just appalling how inept so many people are.

Answer 4

Yes, but I cover up the bruising with an airmail sticker.

Next year I imagine the bruising will be so extensive I'll need to graduate to the Avery 5168 3.5" x 5" mailing labels

Answer 5

I often do. But other times, like yesterday, I send one of them running away with his fingers in his ears.

I consider that a positive thing. Because even though they run away angry, the fact is, I reached them. I got them to think about something they've fought hard not to think about.

And hopefully, once their anger passes, they'll remember that thought. And maybe a month from now, maybe years from now, that thought will take root and wake them up from their delusion.

Some people might never have the opportunity for a rational thought to come into their head regarding their beliefs, if it wasn't for a dirty atheist throwing it in their face.

Answer 6

Kind of funny if you ask me ! People here say some stuff that can keep me laughing for hours ! Don't get upset just enjoy the really stupid answers and the even stupider questions ! The one thing you will never get anyone to agree with you on by pushing your point is belief making them think is more effective ! I know it is temping to force them into a mold for their " own good " but that is the most sinful thing in the world as it means hurting people who are otherwise good and worthwhile . Hurting yourself as you are beginning to noticed is just stupid !

Answer 7

I just pray for the pain to go away, and my prayers are always answered after a few aspirin washed down with a nice bourbon on the rocks.

Answer 8

I'm sure my bruise is just as dark as yours, because not only do I have to put up with that "logic," but I also get grouped in with the people spewing such nonsense.

Answer 9

Haha, I remember the blond joke about the moon and California.

A man asks a blond "which do you think is closer, the moon or California?"

"Duh, the moon, I can't see California!"

Answer 10

I think a lot of the "logic" seen on R&S would require one to mainline some Vicodin.



*edit* How bout liquified Vicodin, then. Nyeah.
