A little bit of knowledge

When I first became an atheist I had the habit of spewing underdigested infomation all over those that were closest to me. I've since learned that that came from a place of immaturity. It's contradictory to foist beliefs upon others when the belief you hold hopes to free people of such foisting. I need to digest and test the information that lands

You are given a family heirloom. It's an ugly statue of an elephant that your great great great grandfather widdled from beach wood. It has ZERO intrinsic value, but for some reason, this is is your family's most protected and prized possession and you are ecstatic to receive it. Soon after you're given the elephant, you receive notice that your home is being foreclosed and you owe tens of thousands in back taxes. You rush to the bank with your elephant and plead with them to stop the foreclosure, claiming you have something of great value to settle your debt. You present the elephant, and in return receive a roar of laughter

Thanks solandra so much for your support, time and effort. I hope this journal will get attention from more than just those making the arguments, so that people can judge for themselves whose are stronger.

Send me a message if you're ever too tired or busy to deal with a faith-head on your blog and I'll do my best to return the favor. 8^)

Smart. And Darn. I'll have to settle in repaying you by being a faithful and lazy basset hound. The kind that doesn't do anything, but you know it's there, for whatever that's worth.

Or... uh, hit me up for a cheap meal if you're ever in Tampa? 8^P

Portland, Oregon? My wife's from there! Small world eh? I knew from the moment you called dickdawk a troll that we were kindred spirits.

psssst . . . this is the part where you make an argument for humanism.

"If you think subjective meaning isn't meaning, and that there's no morality without God, then you are completely ignorant. "

Love this. Make assertions and claims without presenting a shred of evidence. SWEET!

"So I will stop here, because apparently you're the intellectual equivalent of a corpse."
" . . . random, stupid, anonymous people coming and spouting nonsense on mine."

Strong words coming from someone who has yet to defend a single point of theirs. Seriously, I've dealt with young earth Creationists that use the same tactics as you.
