    When you start off your post with an invalid and nonexistent word “neoatheist” the rest of your post can be rightly ignored.

    Its impossible to keep a serious face when here we are in a thread where atheists brag about their lack which is truly an understatement since they are proving their atheology of the lack is rooted in the dark ages in literally all respects.

    No rahl your post is typical neoatheist BS on its face. neoatheism has been around for a very long time and

    I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER THE TOUGH ATHEIST QUESTIONS FOR YOU AND TECOYAH AND THE REST OF THE NEOATHEISTS HERE since everything you have posted is wrong or just plain bs. :oldman:


    Please pay attention: I am astounded at how so many people here have never heard of the fad of neoatheism.

    became popular in 2006. Another term for neo atheism is antitheism, which is the full opposition to religious belief and/or practise, and has been around for decades, if not centuries.

    yep here we are, does anyone see an answer from our resident neoatheists? NOPE and you will not see an answer either it will be ignored, pot calling kettle black syndrome

    And what we thus can conclude is that Atheists are not that different from Theist as neither you nor any other Atheist in this thread has been able to properly answer any of the questions asked and also have the Atheists in the thread dodged the questions by turning them against the Theists.

    I am still waiting for an answer for the question I asked.

    "If you don't believe in anything, then why are you even still bothering to stay alive or even caring about the lives and saftey of others by following the law?

    If man is merely a "lump of atoms" and has no soul or intrinsic value, then why don't you go and marry a cactus, because - afterall - man and cactus are the same - a bunch of atoms, masses of nothingness"


    I answered this by stating the ridiculous nature of the question but, being an Atheist does not equate to disbelieving everything or not caring about safety and life. Nor do I believe we are just a "Lump of Cells" of no value...I would need to know what a soul is to figure out if we have one.....perhaps you can describe it for me?

    as you can see I have a continually growing list of EASY QUESTIONS they cant answer, mark my words, this one will not be addressed either.
    Value? You must mean commercial value, since in the world of atheology which bases everything on reason, logic and science, value, love, hate, morals do not exist, 'if' they are TRUE to nature and TRULY an atheist.

    These are all things that reside in the spiritual/supernatural world.

    Care to explain how an atheist stuck in the physical world can recognize any of attributes that reside solely in the supernatural world?

    Your premise is false making answering the question impossible and pointless. I cannot answer a question that makes no sense.

    Again, making up words in your argument invalidates it. There is no such thing as neoatheist.

    The following is not intended as insulting, although it may seem so

    IMO, discussions about “god” are full of unremitting ****.
    Or if you prefer, banal and meaningless cliches
    People take these cliches seriously, just because religion seems to be granted an inherent deference... as if there were something real, or sacred about it.

    Lets take what you wrote.... it all sounds transcendently awe inspiring to say such things. But in reality, all of religion happens in specific place and time.

    And is god forever? Well most versions of god have been consigned to the dust bin of history. Some remain, but they have hardly existed forever nor without limitations of place. We simply have the self important conceit that our gods are somehow special in a way that other gods were not

    We have hushed respect for an all powerful god that stands by idly inactive while brutal horrors proliferate

    It seems obvious that god must be all knowing.... and yet he seems perpetually surprised by what we do... starting with adam and eve. Our purported biblical history is rife with god being upset with humans.... despite the fact that he knew it all ahead of time because he is all knowing. When it is convenient, god is a loving father. At other times he is a remorseless judge.

    As far as i can tell, religion is just one idiotic unexamined truism after another. Frankly, as far as i am concerned, any god worth being called god would not be obsessed with my sex life.

    BTW
    One of the most common unexamined truisms of religion is as follows. We are told there MUST be a god, a creator who has set our universe in motion. This is specious assumption since there is no necessary reason why the universe must conform to our preconceptions.... and in fact, the reality that we discover of the universe is constantly defying our presumptions.

    But, lets say there is a creator god... most theist slide into the presumption that we know something about a god who must necessarily be beyond our comprehension. Just because there is a creator god, we glibly presume that we know all about the intentions of a god that created the universe. We know that the creator of this incomprehensibly vast universe.... made this creation only for the purpose of our own existence. And we know that this god cares all about us...individually...and what we do.

    The reality is that there is absolutely NO NECESSARY connection between there being a creator god and this god being the the individually caring god that is proposed in our religions.

    even if we presume there MUST be a creator god, that presumption tells us nothing about the nature of that god... and certainly it does not tell us that we must worship god.... and even if we choose to worship god, there is no necessary connection to any religion or a specific version of the disparate plethora of sects and dogmas that mostly seem to distinguish themselves by the hubris of the humans promoting them.

    The obsession is someone like you who say they are an atheist/agnostic hanging out in a religion form. That is explained by Jesus Christ, who said "I will lift all men unto myself". My wife doesn't like football but she doesn't make thousands of posts on NFL forums telling everyone how stupid it is.

    Nonsense, they have a huge following and their credibility makes your credibility look nonexistent. Otherwise stop pretending, we get 1000's of hits for neoatheist, the only people who know nothing about neoatheists are none other than, you guessed it! neoatheists, shocking. :evileye:

    Gee neo atheists.

    I suppose theists can use them as yet another argument for atheism being a religion, since its obvious neo atheists are the equivalent of theists evangelical missionaries.

    It could also be argued that the arguments these neoatheists use to counter religious dogma and behaviors is atheist dogma, further strengthening the "its a religion argument".

    But then again, as an agnostic atheist, I couldn't give a crap if a theist thinks my non belief is a religion. It has absolutely no impact on my personal philosophy, but it sure does seem to get under their skins when we deny religiosity outright.

    The Hebrew God is indeed preoccupied with sex, as evident in the various references to harlots that help the chosen ones. Also, be fruitful and multiply. The church is dead set against birth control. What does all this add up too?

    As author Maurice Cotterell indicated, what's better than God is more God. He doesn't value your respect as much as your baby-making efforts. Having put in motion the wheels of physical reality, a promising crop of refined souls is the name of the ongoing game. But if too many goodnicks catch on to the exit scheme instead of struggling and backsliding, baby/soul proliferation diminishes.

    tecoyah:

    I asked for credible answers, and instead, you gave me tripe. Notice below:
    Abiogenesis theory was debunked in 1859 by Louis Pasteur.
    False. The fossil records is filled with nothing but gaps.

    "Given the fact of evolution, one would expect the fossils to document a gradual steady change from ancestral forms to the descendants. But this is not what the paleontologist finds. Instead, he or she finds gaps in just about every phyletic series." (Ernst Mayr-Professor Emeritus, Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, What Evolution Is, 2001, p.14.).​

    Gaps indicate there is no link showing how the various creatures supposedly changed into something entirely different.

    I will respond to your #3 and #4 in a separate post.

    As soon as you can explain how "life has become fine tuned for this planet" -- BY ITSELF -- you can then proceed to the next hurdle: Explain the difference between "the Universe is fine tuned for life" versus "life is fine tuned for the universe."

    False. Nostradamus did not provide one single prophecy that came through. What he did instead was write quatrains in French, and then he threw in Latin, Greek, and Italian to make the meaning of his quatrains difficult to understand. He also obscured his quatrains with symbols and metaphors, and he deliberately misspelled words.

    His original quatrains are cut and spliced and reorganized to sound good after major world events.

    It is painfully clear you are misinformed in both Abiogenesis and Evolution as well as closedminded wanting an argument vs. debate...I am not interested.

    Have A Nice Day:)

    It is painfully clear that I debunked the four responses you presented above and that you are now lapping your tail and running. As they said in the movie Forrest Gump: "Run, Forest, run!"
