My favorite is when you give a Christian evidence of any sort and they block you because they lack any counterargument. God is good? Here's a Bible passage about smashing babies on rocks. God hates prostitutes? Here's that part where Jesus washes women's feet with his hair. Nobody understands electricity? Then why don't you stick a key in an outlet? The eyeball is proof of creation? Here's a literal demonstration of how they have evolved multiple times from simple light-sensing cells. Blocked, blocked, blocked, yelled at then blocked.
I could go on all damned day, but you get the point. Blind faith is antithetical to logic, full stop. As far as I'm concerned, it's a psychological disorder, regardless of the object of said faith.
Not only that, but delusions needed to support religion and basically hard coded into these people since birth. Makes them susceptible to being controlled by others.
Yeah, hard belief is manic.
My favourite is when an atheist tries to quote the Bible and completely fails. Found a bible passage about smashing babies on rocks? Let's now read the context. THEY (the Babylonians, who incidentally weren't following God's law at the time) did that to US (Israel). The song is a song of mourning and loss, and imagined revenge, as if that would make it better (it doesn't), but it isn't sanctioned, so we can't.
So how exactly is that a counterargument to God being good? Or am I bashing my head against a brick wall here, talking to an atheist with unshakeable blind faith in his demonstrably incorrect position.
Please get fucked
Thank you for your carefully crafted contribution to the conversation.
I think they're making a general statement about all the crazy shit in the old testament, not basing their whole point on that one interpretation. What do you think about the other stuff they mentioned?
Whataboutism is a game we can all play, but I can't be arsed at the moment.
"Trust me, I could totally answer your question and it would blow your mind and totally convert you. I won't, but trust me I could if I cared to."
Seems like the bible says you're not a very good Christian in that case:
1 Peter 3:15
15But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
Sure, but we're not in a gentleness and respect situation here. There's me, and there's a bunch of rabid fundamentalist atheists present. And no doubt some calm and rational ones too, but they're not making themselves known at the moment. For example just look at the strawman (the bit between quotes) and judgmentalism (the prefix to your bible quote) in your own post. I think a good debater could and would avoid both those potholes.
Not my quote but I like it nonetheless: when asking WWJD, remember that turning over tables and chasing everyone round with a whip is an option.
