"D. Multiple of the gods are real :)
There's got to be some whose existence would not be incompatible with the possibility of the existence of others."
Yahweh replied to Dave Gibbs's discussion 'Crazy Aunt won't leave my atheism alone'"Did you tell her that God told you to quit your religion? She can't ask for proof because that would be questioning god(me) which is a very serious matter."
James Cox replied to Dave Gibbs's discussion 'Crazy Aunt won't leave my atheism alone'"Question, 'Do atheists catch fire exposed to holy water?'"
Ed replied to Dave Gibbs's discussion 'Crazy Aunt won't leave my atheism alone'"Having a friend with a camcorder would be super 'neato!' We could all make some popcorn and enjoy the action thriller."
Lewal replied to Dave Gibbs's discussion 'Crazy Aunt won't leave my atheism alone'"Dead ends. I like to say "Oh, yeah, uh... I'm not interested in religion. At all... yeah... yeah, listen, what you're saying right now, I'm not really finding it that interesting. So..."

Yes, doing it my way "ball's out" would probably cause problems, but like I said, it isn't about necessarily taking it that far - it's about being prepared."
James Cox replied to Dave Gibbs's discussion 'Crazy Aunt won't leave my atheism alone'"Sadly, I am a little concerned about increasing the 'crazy' part of his relationship.

I'm not talking good arguments here, I'm talking intimidation, fury and ferocious contempt. You need to be able to look her dead in the eye and tell her "Your shitty religion is a fucking lie, your…"
Dave Gibbs replied to Lucas M. Tavares's discussion 'Can someone explain all this "relative morals" thing?'"Yes!
A common argument against absolute morality (objective morality from say, god) is that the person arguing for absolute morality accepts a book that claims to be the word of god, yet condones rape—or whichever evil that this absolute…"
James Cox replied to Dave Gibbs's discussion 'Crazy Aunt won't leave my atheism alone'"Yes, a mental health holiday! I think I would take it!"
James Cox replied to Dave Gibbs's discussion 'Crazy Aunt won't leave my atheism alone'"I found over the years that the 'attack' stance is also used by many theists!
OSU(Oregon) had hosted many debates over the years between theists and the philosophy department or some science prof. What I noticed is that if the theist goes…"
Samuel Spraker replied to Dave Gibbs's discussion 'Crazy Aunt won't leave my atheism alone'"One thing I've learned is that religious people, especially of older generations, are impenetrable in their reasoning.
