Atheists, what do you think of religious people?

And you’re being a condescending jerk: suggesting that religious belief makes one abnormal.

Study the etymology, not the cowards.

Well, it’s unnatural , for example no child is born believing in a deity, it is learned behavior. It is normal in some societies (US, Saudi Arabia, Philippines) and not normal in others (Sweden, China, UK, Hong Kong).

People are born atheists, then their parents turn them religious.

No child is born knowing calculus. So you’re saying that being a mathematician is unnatural?

What a stupid way to look at things.

People are born, if anything, agnostics.

You still don’t understand the difference, do you?

Pity.

Whatever you say temperamental illogical religious zealot guy…

So . . . reduced to namecalling.

That sure bolsters your argument.

You are the one arguing, I don’t have beliefs and thus don’t have “an argument” for a non-position.

Self-delusion is the easiest.

You stated that believing is a diety is unnatural: you do have a position.

Sorry to burst your self-righteous bubble.

That is simply an observation. This lack of bias, due to lack of beliefs, might be foreign to you. :wink:

Stating that something is unnatural is not a lack of bias. And you know as well as I do that you didn’t intend it merely as an observation. At least have the intellectual honesty to admit that.

Encountering people who try to deny that they have a position so they can avoid having to defend it is certainly not foreign to me.

Actually I do not know that.

But I guess deity-worshiping magicians know what other people are thinking… :wink:

You’re hilarious.

This thread is getting really hilarious.

Seems like we have to get the etymology right before we answer the OP. lol

I know lol, s2000 should work as a lawyer.

If one person is verbally disagreeing with someone, it is usually an argument. He was correct in name calling as being the weakest form of argument. Your words weren’t even related to the statement posted above. Maybe you think you know where you stand, but communicate it poorly or are unable to form a strong argument about this subject due to reasons unknown.

Maybe pure alpha and S2000 are arguing because they secretly like each other?

yeah I think they would have a laugh over this over a few beers

or a fight

albeit both interesting

This Jewish guy came up to me when I was kickboxing today and read this off my arm tattoo. It is ancient Hebrew. Pretty rare to find people who can still read it.
