Theism vs. Atheism: Civil Discussion

[BigJohn]

Dafter than a box of hair!

The HELL is daft about a box of hair?

Try talking to one. Then you'll understand the expression better.

I see now the distinction; fair enough.

Talk to one? Why the hell would anyone want to talk to an underpants-stuffer? NOW who's daft?

In light of this lovely subplot to our thread...
OK, I guess I'm done until someone else says something worth looking at.

First of all, I recently discovered this section of Forumosa, and I posted comments in a few threads sharing my opinions and beliefs, but felt that given the topic it wasn't the right time or place for that. It's been a while since I've been stimulated on this subject, so I'd like to invite fellow Forumosans on either side of the fence to participate in this discussion, though it cannot be called a debate because online forums never really have endings for threads like these.

I'd like to keep it civil and as straightforward, as possible. I apologize if I took a bitter tone in the other threads I posted in on this subject. That won't happen in this one (unless someone else takes a tone first).

I will state my position to avoid confusion:
Atheist/Agnostic. I lean toward atheist, but you'd have to be a total idiot to close that door 100%.

I really struggle with this.

Most religious people believe in stuff that is in direct conflict with common sense and their better judgment.

Atheists are essentially a non-religious version of the above, cocksure despite not really knowing.

Agnostics are just indecisive pussies who are too afraid to pick a team.

I wish there was another column.

I say box of hair, and you think underpants-stuffer? You're weird!

There are plenty of atheists who are not "cocksure despite not really knowing." I'm pretty sure I'm not an exceptional case. Believing something doesn't make it so, but its what I believe nonetheless. Blah blah blah about whether I'm right or not is just so much white noise, to me. I'm not even remotely interested in what you think of my beliefs. They're mine, not yours.

Most people have no trouble realizing the existence of Evil but fail to recognize the existence of God.

I see a considerable amount of frenzied banter has been going on since I was last in here. Are we done now?

No, dearie. The children went off to have a time out.

I think that we just saw a theological falling-out among athiests.

It was like, Atheism - Baptist Style.
