Dan I submit that it may be because religionists always want to have their way. Conversationally they interject statements, slip in something about god’s will or else, and then advance through what they have sais as if it can’t be questioned.
Dare anyone disagree with the central theme of what they’ve said and then rather than refute their objection the religionist makes the obligatory ad hominem attack and starts talking about how the person is going to hell, is a blasphemer, is against god, and so on.
This redirection/change of subject neatly leaves intact the original statement and casts the objector in a bad light.
Funny thing is they are quite convinced this works. Look at solomon? That brainless nin-com-poop is relentless in the face of complete criticism. Only an idiot could be that way. Ergo religion is idiot.

well, THERE’S one we’ve certainly heard before !!!!

of all the stupid, useless, vapid ideas connected to religions,
the most vacuous of all is the concept of hell.

And why is it that the same people who shout about hell so much get upset when we point out that their god is therefore a tyrant?

Sinjin, I have to agree: religion makes one immune to logic. I can’t think of another explanation either!
September 5th, 2011 at 14:42
Yes, making its followers impervious to logic is the greatest hold religion has over them. Faith – the most dangerous idea in the world.

Sinjin
your post reminded me of a book i used to
own called ” Upsmanship”.
it is an hilarious sort of guide-book to getting
“one up” on the other guy………….making him
feel, just slightly, that his performance
is somehow off kilter. actually, i think there are
3-4 books by the same guy, on the same topic.
very funny stuff………..and i think you would
really enjoy them……amazon has them, so
if you want to, check em out.
