How many times per day do atheists, worldwide, deny that atheism is a religion? My guess is millions. Why? Because wherever there is debate on the existence of God vs atheism, you are absolutely guaranteed that sooner or later in the discussion, the word religion will be brought in and the atheists present will be eschewing all religion. But then some deist or theist will tell them that atheism itself is a religion, having all the telltale signs. At that point the atheists will get angry, act insulted, and arrogantly state that atheism isn’t a religion and that if atheism is a religion, then not playing tennis is a sport – or some such similar analogy (which they copy/paste parrot from their masters, the high priests of atheism). They radically deny that atheism is a religion because they despise religion per se and cannot endure to have their own beliefs called religion.

Natural selection is the Darwinists main magic wand for the passing of life from some purely hypothetical first common ancestor, to man. By this “mechanism”, the Darwinist elite claim that all life on earth has come to be. Survival of the fittest, they used to call this. They have attributed to natural selection all the power of a deity.
Natural selection is seen as a cornerstone piece within the whole “modern synthesis” framework.

David Hume, the famous Scottish philosopher and author that is often quoted in debates on whether or not miracles exist, atheism vs theism etc. had much to say on the issue of whether there was evidence of an Intelligent Designer behind the existence of the universe.

In my last article I discussed the “God of the gaps” accusation levied against creationists and IDists. A “refutation” that is common all across the scope of Darwinian influenced minds.
I showed that, in fact, it is the Darwinists that use “gap” arguments, or arguments from ignorance and not the designists at all.
Now at the end of that article I quoted professor Richard Lewontin on his absolute adherence to materialism in all things “scientific”.
Here is the quote again, followed by my comments on the last sentence:
We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. The eminent Kant scholar Lewis Beck used to say that anyone who could believe in God could believe in anything. To appeal to an omnipotent deity is to allow that at any moment the regularities of nature may be ruptured, that miracles may happen.” – Richard Lewontin, 1997. Billions and billions of demons, The New York Review, p. 31, 9 January 1997 (review of Carl Sagan’s The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark).- Dr. Richard Lewontin, Geneticist, Harvard University
Lewotin makes a perfectly foolish unthinking statement at the end when he says that appealing to an omnipotent deity allows that at any moment the regularities of nature may be ruptured. Really?
Lewontin fails to see that this is perfectly true for atheism, not theism!
Under atheism there are no absolutes, there is no absolute truth, so no one cannot even know anything for sure -including no scientists, such as Lewontin. Now if there are no absolutes THEN it would be true that we allow that the regularities of nature may change any & every moment. The laws may dissolve, mathematics is no longer certain, nothing remains! Nothing is certain under atheism’s obligatory relativism. Nothing can be known as objectively true in atheism, including atheism itself! This is standard atheist dogma and if atheism were true, then they would be right in claiming this.
However, under theism, what is the reason that the regularities may be ruptured? The only possible reason would be the will of the deity. But then why would an intelligent creator simply screw everything he made from one day to the next? What reason would he have?
Moreover, even if he did, would mankind ever know it? Highly unlikely, well at least not for more than a few seconds. We would almost certainly disappear in some sort of total cosmic implosion if only 1 of the “fine tuning” constants were to be radically altered by the deity. And who would be left to give a damn for humanity?
In theism, we infer through multitudes of inferences and the very state of the cosmos, that the intelligence of the creator is infinite (just look at what he made) and that his moral nature is the very foundation of all morality.
Worse, Lewontin’s statement is in fact simply wrong, since we already have ample testimony that in fact the laws of the nature are universal, stable and constant since the beginning of all human history. Simply because we have something we call “science” and it works!
Now to prove how asinine atheists can get on this specific point, lets read the “expert” atheist version; one that, if true, literally turns Lewontin’s inane statement upside down:
“There is no logical impossibility in the hypothesis that the world sprang into being five minutes ago, exactly as it then was, with a population that “remembered” a wholly unreal past. There is no logically necessary connection between events at different times; therefore nothing that is happening now or will happen in the future can disprove the hypothesis that the world began five minutes ago.” — Bertrand Russell, The Analysis of Mind,1921, pp. 159- 60
Can you see that the truly unstable, unreliable, utterly mutable universe Lewontin imagines under a deity, is actually the highly probable state of nature if atheism were true and not at all if theism is true!?
Thank God it isn’t!
Why else would Einstein consider that one of the most surprising attributes of nature to be that it is understandable?
“The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility … The fact that it is comprehensible is a miracle”
-Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson, p. 462
Einstein was not an atheist by any means.
Thank God for that too.

Well here we go ladies and gents. Yet another piece of Darwinian/atheist imbecility must be exposed for what it really is.
Will this kind of thing ever end? Not until atheists finally admit that their position -its not merely a “lack” as they foolishly pretend to themselves- is void of intelligence and in fact annihilates intelligence itself since atheism cannot have true rationality.
In atheism all rationality is the end product of completely non rational processes and of course is an “accident”. Under atheist stupidity, rationality is just electrochemical movement in meat. As Francis Crick himself said,
The Astonishing Hypothesis is that “You,” your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules. As Lewis Carroll’s Alice might have phrased: “You’re nothing but a pack of neurons.” This hypothesis is so alien to the ideas of most people today that it can truly be called astonishing.” -(p. 3) -Francis Crick (1994) The Astonishing Hypothesis: The Scientific Search for the Soul. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons
Atheism says that your so-called rationality, your logic, your reasoning faculties; all together is “nothing but a pack of neurons. Well, Sir Crick has passed on to the other realm that is much more solid than this one and has been obliged to answer for his crimes against the Deity, so we can’t ask him the obvious question, “Why should we listen to what a pack of neurons is saying?”, or “How can a pack of neurons be true or false?”.
Other interesting questions like this could and should be posed to atheists as often as it takes to get the message, the logical conclusions and implications of their inane position, into their incredibly stubborn heads.
In any case, we must take a quick and dirty look at one Darwinism’s chief complaints against both creationism and Intelligent Design (these are not the same).
Often when theists or even deists point out to Darwinists that their theory cannot account for the intricacies and functional complexities found in every living thing, they will tell you that you’re committing a logical fallacy. Specifically they claim this type of statement is a “God of the gaps argument”. This simply means that, because you can’t explain how something occurred, you simply invoke God as the answer. God fills in the gap where knowledge of how is.
God is used to explain what evolutionism can’t explain. This is of course a form of “argument from ignorance”. And believe me, Darwinians everywhere are quick to parrot their fave priests that have told them this, over and over and over. Here I would love to start a nice discussion of how virtually every amateur and professional Darwinist in the world is little more than a parrot. They are always parroting what they were told in school, in their temples (universities), on their fave web sites, in books etc etc.
They do not tend to think well at all for themselves, so, having been forced into the standard Darwinian mantra, they simply parrot what they were told by their priests and pastors. This is because they either cannot or will not think such things through for themselves. So, they need indoctrination and counselling from their priests to know what to believe.
Well, I would love to really get into that little delicacy, just for fun, but I don’t feel like it. ;-)
So, on to the infamous parroted “God if the gaps” accusations.
First of all, arguments of the pattern:
“Evolution cannot explain this therefore God did it” arguments, are almost never used by any informed theist and never by any of the major Intelligent Design or creationist debaters, scientists etc on this.
People like Stephen Meyer, William Dembski, Douglas Marks, Jay Richards etc, do not use “gap” arguments at all. What they really do is argue from a simplified form of “statistical mechanics” (for lack of a better term). This means that when an IDist says anything like, “no evolutionary evidence exist for this, no known evolutionary pathway exists to explain this, no known mechanism exists that can accomplish this”, They are not saying “you can’t explain it, therefore God must have done it”.
That is simply and categorically false.
They are saying that 1) there is no evidence at all that evolution did this, but 2) there is enormous evidence that Darwinian evolution cannot do this, and there is enormous evidence that only intelligent agents can produce algorithmic, prescriptive information that is found everywhere in biological systems. Therefore, the best explanation is not evoltuon but intelligent origin.
Very, very few creationists or IDists will simply say, “God did it and that’s it that’s all, no need for further research”. In recent years, I’ve never heard any of them say anything even remotely like that! So, when highly misinformed and disingenuous Darwinian fanatics claim that this is what they’re saying, they are lying, incapable of thinking straight, seriously not listening or all of the above.
In my personal experience it is ALWAYS the last 2 options. and sometimes the first as well.
Again, what are IDists saying? Based on the principles of statistical mechanics, they’re saying that we already know that such mechanical sophistication and algorithmic information cannot arise by chance no matter how much time is allotted. The probability of such machinery and circuitry being constructed, with the plans for making the parts and the assembly instructions for putting them together with all this being algorithmically encoded in DNA, is so astronomically small that it may as well be considered impossible. It is in fact, statistically impossible by ANY known random or stochastic process including mutations plus selection.
So, this has nothing at all to do with “gap” arguments but is merely stating the obvious based on the laws of probability! Something Darwinian biologists tend to be uniquely inapt at using or even understanding.
Designists are not saying, “we can’t see how this happened therefore God id it” at all; on the contrary! They are saying, “the laws of probability”, thermodynamics and physics do not allow any purposeless, unguided process to create this kind of integrated functionality.
That is a very different thing from a mere gap argument. So in fact, they are not arguing from ignorance but from well documented knowledge! Knowledge of proven mathematics applied to the mechanics of biological machinery.
That is NOT a gap or ignorance based argument at all. It is a solid scientific empirical method being used to calculate whether nature can even do such things. When facing the odds of events that have estimated with between 1 in 10^20 to 1 in 10^130 to even worse odds, the obvious answer is that blind evolution could not have done it, no matter how much time you allot!
Secondly, there is a humongous hypocrisy at work among the Darwinists when they foolishly choose to use this rebuttal.
Notice that Darwinists have NEVER, not even once, provided a viable mutation/selection pathway for the existence of even the smallest living things. This means that the ONLY way they can claim that any living thing evolved is through speculation and conjecture -most of the time just wishful thinking and vivid imaginations are all they have.
For example, how does Darwinism explain the incredible integrated circuitry of vision, the eye?
They invent, yes invent, out of thin air, a story!
If you’ve seen the perfectly naive, childishly simplistic explanations given by Darwinists for the origins of sight and eyes you know what I’m talking about it. Even the scenarios given by so-called professional scientists. There simply are no viable, serious Darwinian pathways for vision and eyes. None. Not even remotely close.
Their explanation is always the same – an imaginary pathway -less than 100 steps (rotflmao)- that they think may have, could have, must have etc., been the real evolutionary one. So how about evidence for such naive suppositions -they’re ALWAYS ridiculously naive- on how something may have happened by evolution? Nope. Don’t need any real empirical evidence.
Really? Why not?
Because they simply invoke evolution of the gaps! They do this everywhere, “evolution did it”. Oh, sorry, they use slightly different terms but the answer is always the same – evolution did it!
In other words, Darwinists are the WORST offenders of “gap”, ignorance-based arguments! They never have any viable mutational-selection pathways to explain anything but the very very trivial! So, without a grain of empirical evidence that really does explain how vision systems developed without a “seeing” intelligence, they simply claim -loudly and with much bombast and pompous fury against any other theory, “evolution did it!”
“We don’t need proof!! We KNOW evolution did it!”
“How do you know this, without proof?”
“Because no God exists! ”
Oops. There you have it. The cat is out of the bag. The whole system is 99% religion based. Metaphysical Naturalism. In other words. The religion of atheism.
Don’t believe this? Well then you’re being incredibly naive and demonstrating a very profound ignorance.
Just to help you out:
We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated.

Wow, if that isn’t clear enough, nothing is. So, Darwinists are in fact religious adepts of Naturalism (materialism), a very very old heathen religion.
Therefore it must be illegal, in the USA, to teach Darwinism is public schools. So why isn’t it?
Tags: atheism, atheist stupidity, nothing created everything, zero, zero or nothing
Some of you may not even believe an increasingly popular atheist claim going around these days, that “nothing created everything”. Supposedly smart people like Hawking, Krauss etc. are all now claiming that the universe could create itself out of nothing.
They all try the same little magicians trick of making something disappear, when we all know its hiding under the table, up their sleeve or simply by smoke and mirrors. What is it that they all desperately try to make disappear? Well gee, it ain’t hard? Something, that’s all.
And what magicians technique do they all use to do this with? Some form of quantum physics. Always. Why? Because its the only way you can fool the public. You have to use tricks that the average Joe doesn’t know much about. Then you have to present this trick in public with adequate levels of hand waving and slanted logic, in just enough doses to fool the gullible.
Thankfully, thank God, the average Joe off the street still doesn’t buy the trick as being “real magic”.
So how is this done basically, in layman’s language? Its really easy. All you have to do is lie. All you have to do is present a lie as truth and say it quickly enough, all while subtly redefining a term here or there. If you do it right, a whole slew of gullible people will believe the lie. In the case before us, all you have to do is redefine the meaning of the word “nothing”, so that it actually means something, but something so abstract and unclear that a lot of people don’t see the obvious differences.
One such trick, used by Lawrence Krauss, and now all of his mislead disciples, none of whom seem bright enough to discern wherein the magic lies, is equating the mathematical abstract we call ZERO, with true physics nothingness -i.e. the absence of everything, of anything at all in the material sense.
This is one of their favorite tricks. And you know, the worst and possibly saddest thing about hits is that even they can’t see wherein the magic lies, beyond reality, in their little tricks! Still the trick is obvious.
Zero isn’t nothing. Zero is an abstract number – a mere symbol- we use to describe an exact equilibrium or physics nothing, but in this context stating that because the sum of energy in the universe equals nothing the physical nothing is not the valid meaning of zero! In this context it means equilibrium.
Now these people love to use this number as both meanings at once, (bait and switch tactic) whereas, in truth, it cannot be used with the same meaning simultaneously! The two meanings or definitions of zero here are mutually exclusive. An equilibrium between two forces, for example, is NOT nothing! Yet we still use the mathematical symbol Zero or 0 – the form doesn’t matter at all – to represent this equilibrium.
Its like claiming that because the books balance,, there is no money in the account. Not very bright.
This is not hard!
Let me give a very simple example that really does fit, in an analogical way, quite exactly to the New Atheist claims that nothing created everything.
Lets use an example form the world of accounting as per financial things. We all know what it means when we say, “the books balance”, right? Balanced accounting ledgers simply mean that the actives are exactly equal to the passives. Now in the actual books, how is this written? Why with a zero, ie the graphical representation of zero as “0”.
So here’s where we can easily spot the tricky atheist maneuver that so easily blinds most atheists, and people looking for answers that don’t really understand what’s being discussed – and even many that should but don’t and many that do but pretend not to!
Question: when the books are balanced, does this mean there’s no money in the account?
Answer: Of course not.
Can you imagine the chaos in the whole world of finance and accounting if zero and nothing could change meaning to some “scientist’s” interpretation of the symbol, changing it whenever he pleased!? I’m not exaggerating here, not at all.
On a recent “discussion” that I had with a very devoted disciple of atheist priest Krauss, a fellow who claimed to be well educated in this area of physics told me, rather adamantly (as atheist always do), that nothing can indeed create everything because the sum of the energy in the universe equals nothing.
Of course he was then referring to this Zero being both equivalent to a real “nothingness” AND the mathematical abstraction “ZERO” both at the same time. You remember I just pointed out that this doesn’t work – except when the abstraction Zero is indeed used to represent a real absolute nothingness.
This may seem like quibbling over a definition, but the difference is nevertheless fundamental.
So, I asked this poor fellow if he understood that if this “zero” in his sense, meant that the universe does not exist. To my own astonishment, even with all these years of being used to atheist nonsense, he replied, yes. So obviously I was forced to ask him if that means the universe is nothing, i.e. it doesn’t really exist. And again to my continued astonishment he relied with a resounding, YES. Then I had to rephrase the whole thing, just to be sure, into a “So you’re telling me that the universe doesn’t exist?”. Though I couldn’t believe he’d really understood my question, or he surely was just joking, he still said, Yes.
So there was I, an innocent theist, facing a very intelligent atheist, who was seriously telling me, without any qualms at all, that neither he nor I nor anything else really existed!
I’m pretty sure that if you search out this, for lack of a better term, mind-blowing, conversation between an intelligent human being, and someone that doesn’t exist, you’ll be able to find it over there on that most prestigious of all scientific discussion sites, youtube.
I’m sure you’ll be strongly tempted, perhaps by the devil, to post a resounding, ROTFLMAO, as I was; and sadly I couldn’t help but to succumb, forgive me oh Lord, to such a temptation.
The books balance, my friends, therefore all that money in the account created itself, from ‘nothing’. A child as old as the one in the picture would be giving a nice face palm for such pitiful bull crap at this New Atheist desperate move to get rid of God – no matter how stupid it makes them look.
Tags: atheism, atheism and stupidity, atheists, logic, reason
The list of foolish -often utterly stupid- claims made by atheists is very long indeed. Virtually ALL the claims made by the so-called “New Atheists” from Dawkins to Harris to Dennet to you-name-em, and all the claims based on those claims fall into that category.
This is rather astounding. Why? Because a large part of of the population in the West and in Europe have bought into this glaring stupidity. What kind of average IQ rating can we give people, in spite of how blatantly obvious the endless self-contradictions are, that cannot see these contradictions?
I my own view, that average IQ goes down by several points every time one of these “new atheist” high priests opens his mouth to speak or writes another book. Truly, these inane drones, blind leaders of the blind, could reduce the average IQ of the entire world population by several points every year they continue to promote the idiocies they perpetually try to pass off as “fact”, “reason”, “logic”, “true” etc,,
These people just don’t get it or else they really are as wicked as I believe they are -deliberately speaking what they know is nonsense.
The ridiculous propositions they think are weighty against the existence of a God, a supreme being, a supernatural being are nothing more than bad logic, blind faith in nothing and among the worst of all the dumb propositions devised since the beginning of the 20th century.
To illustrate this, once again, I’ll quote a recent comment -really really stupid- I felt sadly obliged to confront on a blog. Of course anyone that reads my articles here knows how harsh I can be to atheists. Let me explain this just a little here. I’ve been debating atheists and atheism for many long years -over 30- on and off the web for a about 15 years now.
About 99% of every single debate I’ve either had myself, or watched some other poor theists attempting to reason with atheists in, has been little more than an insult fest. Most of almost completely devoid of any sign of intelligence in atheism. As soon as the atheist is faced with the glaring problems of logic and reason in his inane position, the discussion is over; the insult session begins. And in this it doesn’t matter how much proof, evidence, logic, fact or reason one brings against atheism’s multitudinous stupidities, the theist receives nothing but a slew of often vulgar, nasty, 4 lettered superlatives and accusations of stupidity etc. from the atheist crowd.
Don’t believe me? Fine. Go see for yourself. Very easy to verify on virtually any atheist or theist blog or forum on the web.
Ok so are you ready? I hope so.
If you’re not an atheist you will no doubt see the foolishness of such comments immediately. If you’re unfortunate enough to be an atheist you will almost certainly not see a thing.
Here’s the original comment :
“That’s simply because it’s based on observation and rational thought. It’s consistent not because it’s manufactured to be so, but because it actually is consistenct with reality.
Religion relies on dogma to be consistent and does a pretty poor job of it (as numerous schisms have shown).”
And here are my comments -with all my usual angst against atheism and its willfully blind and willfully ignorant victims or dupes. I’ve modified the format and presentation order, and also added some comments in square brackets to make it a bit clearer :
He stated, “That’s simply because it’s based on observation …”
Why are atheists always so blind to reality and void of any genuine logic?
Tell us, oh rational one, what observation are you referring to exactly?
Which observation is it that proves there is no God or even no supernatural?
None whatsoever & you know it well too; therefore you’re doubly guilty -of both willful stupidity and fraud.
He said, “…and rational thought”
What rational thought are you pretending here?
Where is the rational thought that proves atheism?
Atheism denies the very reality of rationality itself by relegating all thought to mere materialism.
“If naturalism [atheism] were true then all thoughts whatever would be wholly the result of irrational causes…it cuts its own throat.” [C.S Lewis]
Atheism according to atheists [American Atheists web site],
“Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity, which implies that nothing exists but natural phenomena (matter), that thought is a property or function of matter, … there are no forces, phenomena, or entities which exist outside of or apart from physical nature, or which transcend nature, or are “super” natural, nor can there be”
My, such a slew of glaring self contradictions in such a small paragraph is amazing!
They claim that “nothing exists but natural phenomena (matter), that thought is a property or function of matter”
Can they prove this? Using their own feeble methodologies [methodological naturalism]?
No, of course not, and they themselves say so!!
If, by default [and using your own method], you cannot posit [or detect] any supernatural existence then how on earth could you ever possibly “know” that there is no such thing!?
A child could see through such blatant stupidity, but not the well potty-trained atheist!
A wiser man (ex-atheist) wrote,
“The theory that thought is merely a movement in the brain is, in my opinion, nonsense; for if so, that theory itself would be merely a movement, an event among atoms, which may have speed and direction but of which it would be meaningless to use the words ‘true’ or ‘false'”
This undoes the self contradicting atheist statement on thought, in one single simple phrase.
“If he is honest,… the materialist will have to admit that his own ideas are merely the “epiphenomenon which accompanies chemical or electrical events in a cortex which is itself the by-product of a blind evolutionary process.” … In other words, there is no reason according to materialism for materialism itself to be regarded as true”
“You are nothing but a pack of neurons“, said atheist Francis Crick.
So tell us, why should anyone give a crap about what your neurons are doing? Under atheism you’re just a slab of animated meat. Rationality cannot be defined as meat. The sooner you finally use your brain to figure out that, if atheism is true, then you really are nothing but animated meat, the sooner you might get free from the abject intellectual poverty of atheism.
The atheist said, “It’s consistent not because it’s manufactured to be so, but because it actually is consistenct with reality.”
Atheism isn’t even consistent with itself!! Wake up and smell the oxymorons!
Atheism IS denial of reality.
He then said, “Religion relies on dogma to be consistent and does a pretty poor job of it (as numerous schisms have shown). ”
Absolutely wrong again and again merely parroting what some poor twit said on some atheist web site.
You were raised on humanism and you swallowed its ubiquitous lies and propaganda. You’re bound in the snares of its multitudinous idiocies, all while thinking yourself to be “free” and a “thinker”.
Packs of neurons can neither be free nor thinkers.
Atheism rational?! rotfl
You, like all atheists, are exactly like the man born blind that denies the existence of light and color because he himself cannot see it, and then you claim this is “rational”!
Think on that and maybe you’ll start really thinking for the 1st time in your life.
Ok, so there you have my initial response.
The greatest contradiction in atheism is this pretension that you can have rationality in an atheist universe. You cannot have rationality in a universe that is itself irrational. You cannot have rationality in a universe that is purely and solely material -matter. Matter is not rational, it doesn’t think, has, no consciousness and no will.
You may as assign an IQ to a rock, intelligence to a piece of meat as to believe rationality exist by accidents in matter.
Rationality itself is purely conceptual. It relies completely on absolute values and absolute laws of logic to even exist.
Neither of which exist in atheism!
I’m always amazed, astounded and confounded when I hear atheists smugly bragging of reason, logic, rationality etc. within a world view, a philosophy that itself, by default, by its own tenets, denies even the possibility that these things can even exist as anything real! Rationality, under atheism, is nothing but a material pack of neurons. It’s nothing but animated meat, chemical reactions, electrochemical activity in meat. It CANNOT ever be more because according to atheism, that’s all that exists!!
Yet the atheist never can figure this simple fact out. Crick did, so did many others, but they always end up denying the necessary logical implications and consequences of their foolish ideas.
Therefore, all while claiming to be perfectly logical, the atheist must deny major facets of logic, in order to keep his position “consistent” with itself. Yet, the very act of denying these vital aspects of reason and logic, the atheist automatically, whether he likes it or not, whether hes sees it or not has denied his own foundations for atheism.
Unreal to say the least. Stupidity personified to say the most.
I wish I could be nicer to atheists. If some day, by some major miracle in the space-time-information continuum, atheists change their intrinsically arrogant and insulting methods of “debate”, I will gladly give them more respect. Not much mind you, as this would change nothing of the intellectually abject poverty of their position.
