1. About the boulder question:
People always say that the "can he make a rock so heavy he can't lift it" is an invalid question because the premise is illogical.

My response is that miracles are illogical by definition.

I'm not a fundamentalist atheist anymore, I'm an agnostic. Just throwing some fuel into the fire. =D

5. Wow they are sad
Edited on Thu Dec-16-04 02:45 PM by dbonds
I can't believe the crap they think of liberals. Of course I think bad things of conservatives too, everyone I have known has been a lieing cheater and out for me-me-me. I'm sure there are some well meaning republicans that think of themselves as conservatives - many of those use the I'm fisiclly conservative but socially liberal, they still vote republican because of the stigma the lowlifes put on the people out for the good of all.

7. yep...I thought seeing these different ones might put it all into some
sort of perspective...

conserves think libs are scum of the earth and vice versa...

fundie christians think fundi atheist are scum of the earth and vice versa

but each side thinks that they are in the *right* and laugh at the *pathetic* attempts of the other side to make fun of them...

8. That website is full of illogical baloney. It is a failed attempt
Edited on Thu Dec-16-04 02:54 PM by Baconfoot
to mimick an argumentative style and demonstrates fundamental (if you'll pardon the pun) misunderstandings about even the most naive pre-theoretical Atheism. It also conflates being an atheism with believing that intelligent design is not a plausible mechanism for evolution.

For example, there simply aren't any people who say we descended from apes. The claim is that we share common anscestry. Not that we descended from apes. Since there are no such people making the claim that we descended from apes, there is no reason to list such a belief as a sign of being a fundamentalist atheist.

I might, on the other hand, plausibly place the belief that there is a definable subset of atheists who believe that humans descended from apes on a list of signs that one is an undergraduate Christian who has never taken a philosophy course.

I find the website unamusing, uninformative, and depressing.

On edit: I'm off now to go be depressed about the state of human relations.

12. How's this for logic?
"You are a person who absolutely believes that life came from nonlife, yet absolutely deny the possibility of anyone rising from the dead. "

13. The one on Fundamentalists
was actually not making fun of fundamentalists, it was pro-fundamentalist. For instance: "You believe Ted Kaczynski-the Unabomber-should be executed and not praised by liberals." Just thought I'd point that out.

I didn't think any of them were that funny either.

14. I found this one to be humorous jab at Thomas Jefferson
You believe that when our forefathers are framing the Constitution, they're staunch deists, but when they're beating their slaves, they're Bible-believing Christians.
