Re: Pieces Parts
Not at times, but rather always.
​
Plus you simply ignore ALL of the evidence people have provided for you if it doesn't say what you want to hear.
​
You are simply willfully ignorant and stupid.

Re: Pieces Parts
Not at all. I simply dispute what you claim to be evident.
​
You really cannot convince a believer that God is all in their head. I suppose you can call that fact stupid, but I would call your response infallibly arrogant.
The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).

Re: Pieces Parts
God is irrelevant Phat.
​
Believers believe the fantasy they create.
​
But we are talking about reality rather than fantasy.
​
And you NEVER dispute, you only deny. I don't think you have any idea what the word dispute even means.

Re: Pieces Parts
Do you really think he is talking only about a god?
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

No, I knew that he was referring to my thinking process and ideological beliefs about humanity in general
