“The argument is not atheism versus creationism. It is logic and reason versus superstition and ignorance.”

“Hey, why don’t we change this site’s name. Lets see why don’t we just call it.”Ignorance QUTD”” – because real ignorance means you just can’t get that acronym right 😉
The really big questions here are:
Just why didn’t Noah take dinosaurs on his boat?
Why are thousands of atheist scientist pigs collectively lying about the age of the earth?
Was Darwin a paganist, abortion supporting homosexual who had a secret pact with lucifer himself?
The earth is only a few thousand years old people! – it says so in a book for christs sake.
A religious person calling an atheist forum ignorant–isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? Reminds me of the old bible verse, “take the log out of your own eye before you complain about the dust speck in someone else’s eye.” Ever read that in your book, tech? Why does it not apply to you?
Willful ignorance, worn like a badge of honor, is religion’s crown. The faithful dare not reason because that would undermine their faith. I used to play the mindgame “don’t think about it, just trust” when I was a believer, but then I woke up. I give you 2 short quotes that complement today’s quote, and pretty much get to the point:
A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows. – Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; he that dares not reason is a slave. – William Drummond
How is “faith” logical?
How is “faith” an intelligent alternative to facts and evidence?
How does having “faith” make something true?
Should scientific discoveries be ignored because they don’t agree with “faith?”
Something that they termed as Superstition is actually is an entity that could not be captured by their weak instrument that is the eye. Superstition can be also classified as Real existing media.
The only instrument that could see what the eye could’nt is “Faith”. But the Atheists leave this instrument unserviced, rusted or left in the open. They did’nt utilize it.
Scientific discoveries allways agree with “Faith”. Cite one example that it don’t if youre the man of truth holysmokes. If you can’t then you must be a LIAR.
”The really big questions here are:
Just why didn’t Noah take dinosaurs on his boat?”
Those are not real big questions..they are real silly questions.
If Noah take dinosaurs on his boat, then he must be a silly fool just like your lots. But he is not the silly ones. He might have a better idea. He might just bring aboard a couple of the dinosaurs eggs with him.
Once something is discredited, only a fool would put faith in it. That is what the likes of Solomon and tech do not understand. I used to be one of you, and now I am not. There is not one mind-game you can play with me that I have not been immunized against due to my previous experience with your sorry lot. I am on the outside looking in, and can see the disconnect YOU have with reality. You are still blindfolded, vomiting out the garbage you have been programmed to say, and thinking it is grand, but it is not.
If this truly is ‘logic and reason versus superstition and ignorance’, it appears that the ignorant and superstitious are ahead by several posts.
So much for the Atheists in AQOTD. This site has become R(Sol)QOTD
Come on Admin, can we at least get a limit per day on the R(Sol)’s drivel?
It could be posts per day, words per day, gaffes per day – virtually anything that limits it. Being (often) warned to stay on topic has not seemed to curtail it at all.
You could give the little fella points back for getting something right. You would certainly never have to worry about giving up points.
Sheesh. R(Sol)’s stupidity is overwhelming. It makes a lot of good thoughtful people stay away.
Wow am I ever glad that I don’t have to rely on what science has to prove in order to know that god is real. Margaret if you ever had any kind of experience of God like you say you did. then you must be feeling pretty bitter right now. Never the less God still loves you and my prayers are with you.
Faith & reason are incompatible. Yet, we still have religious people (despite mountains of evidence to the contrary) running around trying to prove that the planet is 6,000 years old, dinosaurs & humans coexisted, etc. etc. etc.
Despite being an atheist, I actually like Sol’s input. I may be alone, but there you are.
I think he is really an atheist with a sense of humour who is trying to stir things up. The things he says remind us of what happens when you believe what you are told rather than considering the evidence. To bring this comment back on topic, he is providing an illustration of today’s quote!
Sol, if superstition can be also classified as “real existing medium” then we have thousands of Gods not to mention leprechauns, vampires, werewolfs, zombies, unicorns, etc.
I do not think that we should ask the Admin to do what we are unable to do ourselves – police this site. In part because, as evident from the preceding, there is not agreement amongst ourselves of the lack of value from certain frequent posters.
As some have noted, the quote, in the context of many of these postings, is quite amusing.
@archaeopteryx: I expect that the referenced poster agrees with you – making 2 of you. If s/he/it actually had something to contribute, that would be one thing. We live in a world of religious-induced super-stupor – I do not believe we need any reminders like that.
The poster: The eye exists because of an intelligent designer. Yet this divinely inspired and meticulously super eye is unable to see the magic all around us – just take it on faith that it is true.
Magnetism, gravity, wind, x-rays,all the invisible forces theists like to point at and say exist even if not visible to the naked human eye are detectable by devices made by humans. I have yet heard of a mechanical god-detector.
For that, the theists say, “look into the heart”, or “believe what you are told.” One method is imagination, the other is submission of the mind. It is not satisfying. I kick myself for wasting more than half my life on that junk. What the hell was the matter with me? Oh, right, raised in the Bible Belt. Never mind.
Margaret – the bible belt was born out of so called ” FREE PROTESTANTISM” so the insanity of the presbyterians was able to differentiate from the insanity of the roman church. These two have festered and leeched off humanity for hundreds of years. What suprises me is that otherwise strong and independent settlers who developed America allowed this cancer to grow.
I did mention measurement or your detectable devices just can’t justify the essence of things or maybe there is no instrument that could measure God or no instruments have been invented yet to measure supernaturals.

Margaret,
Your lengthy unnecessary useless comments are just twisting of Words. Yes..just words without the full understanding of reality.

solomon,buddy, give it a rest already.

Margaret,
The only thing that is wrong with you is that you have been swayed from the true path. You ain’t see truth yet.

It is a good quote, but kind of a truism.

Margaret,
You don’t have to wait for tech’s god to save you. They are’nt real. The real god is Allah. Submit to Allah.

Thank you archaeopteryx for your consideration, but I’am not an Atheists. May God show you the way.

If allah is so great why must one submit?
August 4th, 2010 at 4:29
Re; ‘testing’
Yes, you are. Very.
August 4th, 2010 at 7:27
Its for the greatness of Allah that one has to submit. Which other Gods could have run this universal kingdom?
August 4th, 2010 at 7:28
Godkilla,
You get me wrong. I’am testing other matters.
