Conversation with An Atheist

[Mancunian]

Stop deflecting.

 

[Matthias]

Nothing in scripture tells me about your expectations.

That’s right. I’ve told you what my expectation is. I believe everything the Bible says about the age to come.

 

[Matthias]

Stop deflecting.

The only one deflecting here is you. Go to bed. God willing, you can continue tomorrow.

 

[Mancunian]

NOTHING in scripture tells me anything about your personal expectations.

 

[Matthias]

NOTHING in scripture tells me anything about your personal expectations.

Scripture answers your question about what the followers of Jesus will do in the age to come. You know that. (And you, you’ve said, you aren’t interested in it.) The expectation of the followers of Jesus is that we will do what scripture says we will do. That answers your question. Now you can play dumb and hope some poor soul tosses you the pearls you long to trample on.

Ok dad.

 

[Matthias]

Ok dad.

Mancunian, I am not your father. Jesus has told us who your father is. (Go ahead and twist it, if you’re of a mind to. It’s still in your file.)

Good night.

 

[Armour of God]

I would like to have a conversation with @Armour of God
He or she seems to be the go to poster.

I'm wondering if Armour of God thinks that he or she is somehow special and doesn't belong in any category assigned to us by scientific research?

I'm wondering if this person has anything interesting to say.

I've seen a few posts, but they haven't been directed to me.

Looking forward to his or her take on what a life of eternal bliss would look like in his or her opinion.

How are you? I hope your doing well.

Just a bit about my journey.
Like you, i was raised by Christians and became an atheist in my teens and 20s.
But then I became agnostic for several years before coming to believe in intelligent design.

In regards to your question I don't think I'm special at all. Sure I fall into some categories assigned to me by science. I'm a mammal, im human.

But just before I go to bed... I've realised that Armour of God is definitely a man. I've come to this conclusion based on his misogynistic posts about women drivers.

Your saying that I hate women because I think men are better drivers. Really.
So using that same reasoning people who think women are better drivers are misandrists? They hate men?
Off course not, that's ridiculous.

Everyone on that thread understood that we were discussing which gender is generally better at driving. No one was linking that to the hatred of any gender. No one was making such accusations on that thread.

He ignores the actual evidence that women are better drivers.
He thinks that because men are good at Motorsports (a male dominated sport) that men are better drivers.

Depends on your definition of "better".

For me "better" is who is most skilled.
And what better way to measure a drivers skill than by looking at motor sport. It's male dominated because men are more skilled at driving. It doesn't discriminate. Women are more than welcome to participate and have been involved in various motorsports categories.

He doesn't take into account that most accidents are caused by young testosterone filled men, or the verifiable evidence that insurance policies are cheaper for women.
He doesn't follow evidence. I can't wait to hear from him.

Actually your not following the evidence of motorsports. Men are generally more skilled at driving.

Your definition of "better" doesn't seem to include skill at all. Your basing it on which gender is safest.

You can make a case for women being safer drivers but regarding skill there is no measure that says women are more skilled than men

Your argument is based on the fact that Motorsports are male dominated.
It's like me saying that women make better or more skiied parents because most homemakers are women.

The same "skills"that you quote from Motorsports are the same testosterone driven skills that causes the majority of accidents generally.
Avoiding accidents is a skill, causing them definitely isn't.

As men age and their testosterone levels drop, this in turn makes them more cautious and more skilled drivers. They are involved in less accidents than younger men.

Women drivers spend less time in courts of law defending their driving....
Men speed more than women. Men drink and drug drive more than women. Men cause more deaths than women.

Statistics show that women are more skilled safer drivers than men, which is backed up by facts. Insurers happen to agree.
