It seems that our theistic friends here don’t wish to have the claims they make here discussed and examined. Instead they like to waltz in to pronounce “atheists badz”
and then make some poorly thought out pontification,
and when that is questioned act astounded that on a discussion board the statements one makes might be discussed.


Since it was written, some here attempted to claim it is not the very example of what it is claimed theists at DU are doing.

I asked for any proof that this is occurring, and at this point no proof was produced. The above is not debate. What it is though, is unintentional irony.

Another diversion would be your entire refusal to discuss what a verse says. AtheistCrusader Dec 2017 #16
I have actually discussed numerous specific verses this year. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #17
That is just your opinion. AtheistCrusader Dec 2017 #18
Part of the problem is categorical dismissal. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #19
That's nice, but you also accused people of literalism when they tried to examine any negative aspec AtheistCrusader Dec 2017 #20
I accused them of insisting on only a literal interpretation. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #21
