Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

To be fair, you didn't show up until the battle was decided.
I'm sure things will go better next round.

Empiricism has evolved over time, and similar to 'Naturalism,' which to be understood needs to be differentiated between Methodological Naturalism, and Philosophical Naturalism. The evolution of empiricism formed the foundation of modern scientific methods. 'Extreme Empiricism' roughly equates to Philosophical Naturalism. One advantage in the early history of science is that emphasizing sensory experience of the physical world took priority over culture and traditional beliefs concerning the physical world. The following definition may help.

It says absolutely nothing and yet I feel vaguely offended.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

It isn't my fault your side sent members of your B team into Apologetics 301.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House.

Originally posted by Cerebrum123 View PostI wouldn't call said incidents "persecution" makes the term cheap. There are Christian facing real persecution across the globe, often being killed for their beliefs. Glad you agree that said behavior is unacceptable though.
That there are immature petty Christians is granted. However, that's not usually what "activist atheists" go after in my experience. They usually want any and all religious items/ideas removed from the public sector. Essentially they want to shut up their opponents.

Anytime you guys need more help just give me a call.

Because threats like those are just "petty."
That there are immature, petty, hateful, and even some downright awful Christians is granted.
Is that better?

It is about having equal rights regardless of race, creed, colour, sex and sexual orientation.

Largely because C123 approves of rape.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House.
