Why Do Theists....

[nailit]

think that unbelievers are unbelievers by choice?

[nailit]

//very little he says appeases any of you//
Isnt that the nature of discussion...questioning the answer?

//so is it not a little futile to keep asking when there are so many who are perhaps more robust in being able to answer your deep and earnest queries?//
Please point me to the way of more robust entities.

If the religious evangelicals post on AB then they will recieve replies on AB. If they dont like it then they too are free to go elswhere yes?

[Neveracrossword]

Nailit, I think the 'religious evangelicals' that you'd like to debate with are rather sparse on AB. (I'm exempting the cut and paste man.) The 'more robust' people don't seem to respond to your queries, maybe there aren't many of those around either?

Well they would be. They've all gone to bed now!....

//The 'more robust' people don't seem to respond to your queries//
But they will be quick enough to post a ''querie'' of their own. One that asks questions of non-believers?

[Neveracrossword]

Nailit, I really (honestly) don't know the people you've got as 'religious evangelicals', nor who the 'robust ones' are. My comment was really just a reflection on the fact that you'd seem to like a good, reasoned debate - and it just never happens.

Aren't there any religious themed discussion sites?

[nailit]

//Aren't there any religious themed discussion sites?//
Isnt R&S on AB a religious themed discussion site?

[Mamyalynne]

It is, was just thinking of a broader base with more folk to join in - I shall spread the word ;-)


About AB.

[nailit]

What broader base do you want then mamy?
More atheists? More believers?
More questioners?

[Mamyalynne]

I don't want anything, sorry if I have mislead you - I thought you needed more folk to question about faith.

You sounded disappointed when someone dropped out of the thread.

All's well then.

[nailit]

//You sounded disappointed when someone dropped out of the thread//
Dont know where you got that notion from but each to their own.

[naomi24]

AH, //I am sure I am at liberty here to speak for naomi … That is why naomi, Nailit and I, together with occasional less regular protagonists….//

Please don’t presume to speak for me. I'd much rather you didn't.

[andy-hughes]

My apologies, it won't happen again.

[nailit]

When I found out that I was believing in things without good reasoning, I stopped believing in those things.
Just WHY is this a difficult concept to grasp?

[nailit]

I dont get it...

[Mamyalynne]

Not difficult at all, you stopped believing and just like to tell us you have stopped.

You did what is right for you.

[beso]

I believe God made me an atheist.

[andy-hughes]

beso - // I believe God made me an atheist. //

If I send him the wood and nails, will he make me one?

[locusts]

Nailit Of course you have a choice
The evangelicals who I spoke to you sound I'll informed and a bit silly.
And you are different how?

Locusts. yes freedom is chooses and it allows you separating from two or more things that which is preferred; That s up to you ,if you wish to listen to Christian or not . to him , he thinks. or I thinks were are trying to save lives . to us it is a warning , and that warning is like a volcano going to explode at any time . It s is better to save lives , not to destroy them .
