Atheist Confusion?
174 Answers
Its about time the AB atheists had a big fat believer to sink their teeth into, and tear to shreds, all red in tooth and claw.
Like fox hunting, it is an acceptable blood sport :-)
So, Richard Dawkins has stated that the universe is simply blind indifference, (paraphrased), that we simply dance to the demands of our DNA.
Yet he has said that science has put men on the moon, yet evil religion flies planes into towers.
Do you see the inconsistency?
This raises questions about morality, and maybe, just maybe, we could discuss it without spilling too much blood, burning too many martyrs, or sending hate mail?
(But just in case I shall be wearing full body armour and a crash helmet :-)

Personally I disagree. All the time it's not dangerous, I couldn't give a monkeys what anyone writes about religion. I've realised that the religious types are completely impervious to the words of anyone who doesn't completely agree with them. Trying to reason with them is like peeing in the wind.
Look how this thread went from Theland and Nailit saying they'll be civil, to the inevitably opposite of that happening? It's utterly pointless.

Goodlife; a quick google search brought up the following-
Matt. 5:22, "But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire."
Matt. 5:29, "If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell."
Matt. 5:30, "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell."

Thos is my point Nailit. You and Nailit (or Andy, or Naomi, or whoever) have such contrary opinions on all things biblical that these threads will always end in a less than civil argument. You know it when you start them, and you keep acting surprised and indignant when the inevitable happens. I mean, look at your OP for this thread. You basically painted a target on yourself and shouted "Come and get me!" .
