I used cut and paste on your own words, not sure how that could be a misquote.

Any answer on what you actually believe, as I asked?

Some Atheists Choose to Be Kind to Others [View all] rug Apr 2017 OP

Some atheists are unkind towards believers ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #1

How does nonbelief, per se, make a person more rational and reasonable? rug Apr 2017 #2

Let us compare: ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #3

Your premise is flawed. rug Apr 2017 #4

My conclusion does not rest on any type of "evidence" at all! ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #6

Wrong. Evidence is not unnecessary, it is impossible. rug Apr 2017 #8

If evidence is impossible ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #12

Do you think finite things can describe infinite things? rug Apr 2017 #25

But if god has material aspects ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #35

If god created material things, say, the universe, that would not mare god material. rug Apr 2017 #43

You do not answer my point about infiniteness ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #47

No one has said God includes material things but you. rug Apr 2017 #48

Once again, what about that gods supposed infinite nature? ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #50

You do realize that infinite means without limit, don't you? rug Apr 2017 #70

How about we reverse it, ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #78

How about you answer the question. rug Apr 2017 #80

My answer is simple ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #83

That doesn't answer the question at all. rug Apr 2017 #84

So you believe god has material aspects ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #85

You should read about the hypostatic union before using exclamation points. rug Apr 2017 #86

Here we go, ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #87

There you went. rug Apr 2017 #88

I forgot to add ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #89

Your answer was trite and unoriginal. rug Apr 2017 #90

You cited Catholic dogma! ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #91

If you don't understand the difference between religious dogma and internet atheist memes, rug Apr 2017 #92

I laughed at that, thanks! ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #93

The short answer is the amount of thought that goes into antitheist internet themes and cartoons is rug Apr 2017 #104

"you are deliberating ignoring the sheer intellectual thought that's gone into it," ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #105

David Koresh was a psychopath. rug Apr 2017 #106

And your evidence is.... ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #107

18 dead children and 58 dead adults. rug Apr 2017 #108

Riiiiiiight ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #109

Right. rug Apr 2017 #110

Whatever Koresh was ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #111

You bagan this charade with "David Koresh is the second coming". rug Apr 2017 #112

Cult, noun ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #113

This should help you, but I doubt it. rug Apr 2017 #116

Again, the Catholic Church has killed way more people ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #117

You're really dumping your grabbag of antitheist memes aren't you. rug Apr 2017 #118

You are the one who brought up body counts, rug. nt ExciteBike66 May 2017 #144

And to you Eko Apr 2017 #139

Do you define your god as infinite? Lordquinton Apr 2017 #58

It has been described that way for millennia. rug Apr 2017 #63

You apparently know the answer Lordquinton Apr 2017 #67

If anything at all was "on me" to prove, it wouldn't be to you. rug Apr 2017 #68

I've looked, Lordquinton Apr 2017 #69

Good. Now look for the topic of this subthread: "Do you define your god as infinite?" rug Apr 2017 #72

So you're refusing to answer this question? Lordquinton Apr 2017 #73

You should know, from your long list of stupid, baiting questions, followed by desperate diversions, rug Apr 2017 #74

Again, no answer Lordquinton Apr 2017 #75

None warrented. rug Apr 2017 #76

More likely that an answer doesn't exist Lordquinton Apr 2017 #100

So, because something is described in a certain way for a long time, it must be true? Doodley Apr 2017 #129

Not necessarily but it is known by anyone with a modicum of sense and education. rug Apr 2017 #133

Show me something infinite? Eko Apr 2017 #102

Prove your eye can grasp the infinite. rug Apr 2017 #103

I'm going to be nice Eko Apr 2017 #119

That is always prudent. rug Apr 2017 #120

Non belief makes a person more rational and reasonable Eko Apr 2017 #122

If that were true, you would not be using "we". rug Apr 2017 #123

Talk about unproven boasts!!! Eko Apr 2017 #124

I shouldn't tell you Eko Apr 2017 #125

Clean up your interior monologues from the flolor before you go. rug Apr 2017 #126

I have looked up this thing you call flolor Eko Apr 2017 #127

Typo cop on top of everything else. rug Apr 2017 #128

Can what? Eko Apr 2017 #130

Prove God by math. rug Apr 2017 #132

I didnt make that claim at all. Eko Apr 2017 #134

Here's how it works: rug Apr 2017 #136

Proving infinity Eko Apr 2017 #137

It's not central at all. rug Apr 2017 #138

You used it Eko Apr 2017 #140

Yo used it, inaptly, as amathematical concept that cold be proven rug Apr 2017 #141

No, Eko Apr 2017 #142

If you look back at post 25 Eko Apr 2017 #143

I never said you could Eko Apr 2017 #135

I wasnt planning to go anywhere Eko Apr 2017 #131

Immaterial concept claims to have manufacturered all material, time, and space. AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #7

If you accept the premise that an immaterial entity created the universe, the universe is evidence. rug Apr 2017 #9

Disagree. AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #11

That's a very big if. rug Apr 2017 #26

Well, you can define your 'if' any way you like, it's yours. AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #54

Everything known to science had a beginning. rug Apr 2017 #64

I never said it doesn't have a beginning. AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #65

Precisely. Which is why it's a worthy inquiry. rug Apr 2017 #66

But that is not rational by your own definition ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #13

Incorrect. rug Apr 2017 #27

I just love how the belief that god exists is somehow ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #36

I just love how you fail to grasp what I say. rug Apr 2017 #42

OK ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #46

See #48. rug Apr 2017 #49

To quote you ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #51

"No one has said God includes material things but you." rug Apr 2017 #52

You are now arguing dishonestly, which is irrational according to ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #53

The only dishonesty in this thread is your deliberate misquoting. rug Apr 2017 #71

Please ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #77

You cut the quote and pasted an incomplete quote. rug Apr 2017 #81

Quotes ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #82

Well that's circular. Volstagg Apr 2017 #29

Except that is not the statement. rug Apr 2017 #30

Divine fingerprints perhaps? guillaumeb Apr 2017 #16

I'm sure an omnipotent god could think of something... nt ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #18

But that does not require the Creator to provide a signature, or DNA. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #20

And my view is that ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #22

When science explains everything from the very beginning, meaning prior to the big bang, guillaumeb Apr 2017 #33

You don't notice the trend, eh? ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #37

Might want to start reading Stephen Hawking now then, particularly his latest book. AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #56

Assumes it was 'created' in using the word 'creation'. AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #24

or toolmarks, etc. AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #23

I would argue that the Creator is not asking for your allegiance. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #32

You are free to provide it. ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #40

If that is what you believe. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #59

The concept of "god as bringer of morality" withers a bit ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #61

The concept of hell has "evolved" from the Middle Ages. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #62

Which alleged 'creator'? AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #55

Regarding #2: guillaumeb Apr 2017 #15

Humans are too stupid, is that it? ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #17

Stupid is your choice of words. I prefer fallible. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #19

You didn't answer my question. ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #21

Humans will comprehend all, is that it? rug Apr 2017 #28

We are working on it, ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #38

It's a matter of mental capacity not priesthood. rug Apr 2017 #41

My point stands ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #44

Hope and faith, even stubborn faith, are considered virtues. rug Apr 2017 #45

In many faiths, it is believed that the writings are divinely inspired. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #31

We are even less capable of understanding... Bretton Garcia Apr 2017 #34

If you are determined to characterize faith as unthinking obedience, guillaumeb Apr 2017 #60

They were and are scientists ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #79

Can their faith be separated from the rest of their personality? guillaumeb Apr 2017 #94

It doesn't have to be separated. ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #95

You seem to be inferring something that was not stated. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #96

A believer might claim.... ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #97

But if the experiment proves that the theory is correct, guillaumeb Apr 2017 #98

It's not religion doing the inspiring... ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #99

We did not create ants ExciteBike66 Apr 2017 #39

Why does everyone keep assuming all these ridiculous limitations on ants? AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #57

They insist on getting into food. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #101

Guil? Bishop Barron said Religion is not so faith-based Bretton Garcia Apr 2017 #114

An interesting question for a separate post. guillaumeb Apr 2017 #121

wat. AtheistCrusader Apr 2017 #115

Nonbelief at least eliminates one cause of problems Bretton Garcia Apr 2017 #10

Being an atheist does not obligate one to treat religious believers poorly. Amen. Jim__ Apr 2017 #14
