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.

    Anti-vaxers who endanger other children
    Belligerent idiots (you know who you are, or maybe you don't since you have a character disorder)
    Mormons (I mean, seriously, you believe THAT?)
    Scientologists (see above)
    Anybody who is full of bluster and thinks it's assertiveness
    People who have no manners
    Short people
    Left handed people
    Extreme conservatives
    Extreme liberals
    Anyone who gives a genuine line of thought a bad name like stupid Christians, stupid atheists and anyone above.
    What's the problem with left-handers?

    No, I feel you brother. I generally don't think of people in those terms either.

In terms of accurately representing his ideological opponents and actually being correct, which arguments are supposed to accomplish, no such adjective or adverb can be applied. He rarely, if ever, makes any effort to even intellectually understand where an ideological opponent is coming from, let alone emotionally. That's what I meant by a lack of empathy. He sees something that goes contrary to what he believes in and dives into an attack without trying to understand.

    I'll leave you with a blog devoted to refuting his logical and behavioral errors.

    It seems a bit weird to complain about Matt Walsh unfairly mis-characterizing his opponents' arguments and then link to a blog dedicated to, apparently, unfairly mis-characterizing Matt Walsh's arguments.

    And I'm saying this as one who's read only a small handful of Walsh's articles, and feel no particular allegiance toward the guy.

    I see you're dropping arrogant intelligent.

    Only you feels-obsessed people demand emotional regard. You preach about how argumentation should be carried out, yet you bring up the utterly irrelevant concerns about feels of the listeners that don't have anything to do with the truth-value of the arguments.

    That's what I meant by a lack of empathy.
    As I said: he doesn't care about the readers' feels. Or more accurately, his targets' feels.

    I'll just list some people I wish would stop appearing in public:

    Sean Hannity
    Harry Reid
    Michael Moore
    Oliver North
    Dick Cheney

    Hannity and North are the two biggest reasons I stopped watching Fox News.

    I honestly can not name anyone. Mere disagreement is not a reason. It would have to be a person that I had personal contact with and for some reason would not ever want to be around from then on.

    By what criteria would one make this type of dicision? Really bad personal hygiene. That the other person always wants to get money from you. If the other person will steal from you or others when around you. Etc.

    Thoughts as to why a person could not stand to be around another?
