    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    It’s not shallow at all actually, it’s actually a lot deeper than being stuck on the periphery like a ping pong ball getting hit back and forth between “good” and “bad”. You’re speaking with Wrangler, a simpleton who sees reality through absolutes. You cannot reason a person out of a position...

    Sounds like something you should also be telling others. Or do you lack the capacity to think for yourself and instead roll along with “groupthink” where you’re unable to stand up against your own side?

    Wrangler started with the insults by saying I was a coward. Don’t blame me for standing up for myself and giving it right back to him. Learn to see both sides instead of just one. Go back and read what -he- said.

    And you’re too much of a coward to rise above the simple duality of “good vs. evil”. You pick a side because you’re too afraid to stand on your own, independent of any “side”. You’re still a child trapped in the body of an adult, unfortunately. The idea of “nuance” is all too much for your...

    Imagine thinking there is a “battle” of good and evil. My friend, everyone thinks their side is “good” and the other side is “evil”. Both atheists and Christians are jokes in my eyes. I “could” be considered an atheist by definition but I find it cringeworthy even defining myself with a label...

    Actually, you have things backwards. You only see agnosticism as cowardice because agnostics won’t cave in to your extremist views. The fear of hell already has you by the balls, so I understand why anyone whose not in the same boat as you is seen as a coward. What’s cowardly is taking up an...

    What is so bad about having nothing else in life? If you have something, you can also lose it. I’m perfectly fine not having a defined meaning or purpose in life. It’s very freeing and makes life a mystery.

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Agnosticism takes more courage than anything else in my opinion. It leaves room for “not knowing”. It’s always easier to posture as if you know, or to give yourself some fairly tale to cope with the unknown. Very few people are willing to say “I don’t know”. We live in a world where “knowing” is...

    I’ve taken a hallucinogen before, it was a divine experience. What would make you think God didn’t put mushrooms on this earth in order to meet him? If the lord works in mysterious ways, can’t eating a mushroom he planted in order to meet him be considered one of the many mysterious ways he...

    That wasn’t a strawman they were making, that was a counter argument. Ever heard of counter arguments? I think you’re strawmanning here instead because they were referring to how fundamentalists walk around as if their beliefs are infallible. If you were to believe that liberals have...

    How do you know your discernment is not fallible? Have you ever not been wrong in your life before? How many times have you thought you were right only to find out you were wrong? Don’t start lying and moving goal posts now

    Critical thinking and education is linked to loss of faith

    If you’re not willing to debate about your statements, how will you ever grow wiser and learn? Isn’t it a sign of humility when one is willing to debate their own beliefs?

    Enoch the clown said that one knows they have the correct interpretation of the Bible if the Holy Spirit guides them. By that logic, I can claim that the Holy Spirit told me that he’s a heretic and it will be the correct interpretation. It just won’t be the correct interpretation in HIS eyes...

    It was God’s plan, my friend. But you have to remember that God works in mysterious ways. God is trying to show you something

    Folks, there are no inconsistencies or contradictions in the Bible at all. The Bible is 1000% clear. Here in these two verses it says that Ahaziah was two different ages when he became king. I prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide me and now I understand that one can be two different ages at the...

    I thought God was outside of space and time? I’m not in above my head, but rather I can’t stop laughing at how you’re going in circles. They got you so good. Just when I think you’re going to see the absurdity of it all, you double down. You just don’t fail to disappoint
