Why trying to convert theists won't work.

I know that a lot of people on here spend a lot of time trying to convince theists that they are wrong, and you can waste a lot of breath explaining why ontological, cosmological and teleogical…Continue

Explonential replied to Jez Smith's discussion 'Why trying to convert theists won't work.'
How ridiculous. I was a Christian, and a simple, thoughtful, consciousness-expanding comment converted me. Many people reading this are converted theists - how did they change?
You're right in saying that offending people won't convince…
Jez Smith replied to Waylon Hedegaard's discussion 'Is Young Earth Creationism Destroying Science?'
No you'll find that the people who are able to think for themselves and actualy do understand why the 'science' of global warming does not stand up to scrutiny have a lot more contempt for people who swallow the global warming story…
Jez Smith replied to Waylon Hedegaard's discussion 'Is Young Earth Creationism Destroying Science?'
Yep it is a very real problem because people are not taught to think for themselves anymore, people don't read they don't talk to each other and the standards of general education are getting lower and lower so you are going to have…
Jez Smith replied to Roy The Infidel's discussion 'The Father Of The Big Bang Theory Is A Jesuit Priest'
In normal situations you do have to have a cause for every effect,its one of the oldest principles in philosophy, but when you are dealing with quantum mechanical effects then you are entering a realm where causuality breaks down which is why…
Jez Smith replied to Roy The Infidel's discussion 'The Father Of The Big Bang Theory Is A Jesuit Priest'
Arghh!!!!! yes i know all about Occam's razor all i was saying is that theists have used the existance of the initial singularity as an argument for the existance of god as the thing which caused the singularity to come into being when they…
Closet Nigerian Atheist replied to Jez Smith's discussion 'Not all theists are stupid'
i dont think atheists here think all theists are stupid but rather the beliefs of the theists are what are ridiculous and stupid
Jez Smith replied to Roy The Infidel's discussion 'The Father Of The Big Bang Theory Is A Jesuit Priest'
The whole point is as I am sure you are aware is that theists say that there is something divine in the cause of the initial sigularity, that is the teleological agument in a nutshell but its equaly valid to say that there was no cause of the…
Jez Smith replied to Waylon Hedegaard's discussion 'Is there a point to atheist bible study?'
The other point is one of the reasons that Dawkins can make a fortune recycling atheist ideas some of which have been around for a couple of thousand years without actualy saying anything which hasn't been said before is because people…
Jez Smith replied to The Internet Saves's discussion '"Equality Law" coming to England, answer to Irish blah blah law?'
Irish blah blah law? I'll have some of whatever you are smoking James.
Jez Smith replied to Roy The Infidel's discussion 'The Father Of The Big Bang Theory Is A Jesuit Priest'
If you look at the arguments for the existance of God that say that there must have been a cause that caused the event which was the initial singularity that the big bang can from and they will say that cause was God.A singularity being an infinatly…
Jez Smith replied to Howard S. Dunn's discussion 'Do you see an actual difference between a religion and an ideology?'
Idealogy without any supporting evidence to back it up, Oh......I know where Ive heard that beofre, all these people who rant about climate change.
Climate change has become the new religion for the generation that doesn't understand anything…
Jez Smith replied to Waylon Hedegaard's discussion 'Is there a point to atheist bible study?'
The bible and other religious texts are actualy interesting and useful, the old testament is fascinating and we are trying to avoid dogma, simply pointing out whats wrong with the bible without reading it is just going to cause atheist dogma.
Jez Smith replied to David Miller's discussion 'Global Warming: What do YOU think?'
Er yes this is exactly what people are arguing about, the trouble is with school kids being increasingly taught not to think for themselves anyone who says look at the evidence from the earths distant past rather then the past 50 years is a…
Jez Smith replied to David Miller's discussion 'Global Warming: What do YOU think?'
Well because people have gone out and looked at evidence from ice cores and the way that animals have migrated over millions of years and having looked at those things and others you can say looking at the evidence the Earth was covered in a sheet…
Jason Spicer replied to Jez Smith's discussion 'Not all theists are stupid'
Wait...not even if you're wearing 3D glasses?
Nathan Phillips replied to Jez Smith's discussion 'Not all theists are stupid'
That is incorrect. Many things can be said, quite accurately, about things that meet the criteria of being a god. First of all, none of them have been found. Secondly, the Aristotlian/Judeo/Christian god looks, sounds, smells, feels and tastes…

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… Greetings, Jez! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus since Sept. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

We are pleased to see you here among the sensible, rational people of this world.
This is the great Nexus meeting place with its thousands of bright people like you who recognise religion for the superstition and brainwashing fraud that it is---
and that gods exist only as fictions inside people's heads.

"ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Earth, Humankind, Fossils, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its over 240 discussion topics.
