CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
Apologies, it seems there is a mistake is in thinking the OP is capable of rational, intelligent thought. He believes Atheists include Pagans, so I can't tell you for sure what his idea of atheistic belief is, simply that it is a belief that doesn't follow his extremist Christian ideals. I doubt very much that you'll ever get a clear answer as it seems he simply wants to blast anyone who doesn't match his level of militant belief.
And another atheist irrationalist bites the dust. Why are these fools so afraid of cross-examination. Could it be even they know they are dumb as a box of rocks and do not wish to look like fools?
There is no debate without cooperation. You aren't cooperating, so no amount of high minded pretense of the superiority of your position is going to matter, EVEN IF YOU ARE RIGHT, because you aren't actually engaging in debate.
Ban me or anybody else and you only make them martyrs to your unreasonableness.
You would get your point across better if you engaged in debate.
Part of that is clarifying what it is you mean by "atheist". We already can see your opinion about atheists, so what and why do you hate the atheist? What is an atheist?
For the sake of good discourse, answering the question would be helpful.
Notice how this fool not only posts a red herring, but a lying straw man. His answer is also, no, there is not one intelligent, rational atheist on this site." ROFL
And yet you are a lying sociopath. Get of my thread, pond scum.
"Off", you idiotic retard.
You are on a debate site, and yet you insult and ban everybody who attempts to argue with you. Clearly, you are mentally ill, aren't you? Have you been diagnosed?
By saying "we" this fool is including himself and yet his posts with their constant question avoidance, red herrings and trolling indicates the opposite. ROFL. This fool cannot answer a simple Q. Get off my thread.
You're being kinda ridiculous. I don't know what lab experiment would prove it, but I am convinced by reason, you may even be able to find examples of that on this site, and hopefully you'll be able to decide whether or not you think I'm intelligent by reading other arguments I've made.
That's a ridiculous statement. There are plenty of natural things we can't test in a lab. It doesn't mean they don't exist. For example, I can't provide a lab test that demonstrates Donald Trump is the president of the US.
What proof would you accept of somebodies intelligence over a website anyways? I can't take you to a physical lab so that you can watch me take an IQ test or something. Tell me exactly what I should do to satisfy you.
I have already provided you with some solid evidence (which would be to look at my previous posts on this website).
Who is president is a concept, not a material thing. Your naturalism cannot account for it either. The fact that you admit things exist that are not material is a refutation of atheism. Stardust cannot produce the immaterial.
"Naturalism is the believe that all of reality can be explained by natural means alone, so yes it is, mental midget."
You are confusing materialism with naturalism. A non material thing, such as a concept like being president, can arise naturally. Materialism is the thing that says everything is material.
"And since atheism denies the supernatural as an explainariom, it is left with naturalism, making all atheists naturalists."
Atheism is not a belief, and actually doesn't deny the supernatural as an explanation. For example, most Buddhists are atheists because they do not believe in any deity.
"Take Philosophy 101 and, until then, shut up."
:) Actually, I have taken philosophy 101, and I can tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about.
"No, moron, naturalism is what I said. Materialism is the denial of all non-material things”."
But you seem to think naturalism is the denial of all non material things. You earlier said: "Your naturalism cannot account for it either. The fact that you admit things exist that are not material is a refutation of atheism [naturalism in your eyes]."
Naturalism can explain non material things like the concept of a president. This is explained by humans evolving, and then creating the idea of a president. Another example of a non material thing is a number like 4. The number 4 is a concept that describes natural material things.
Still not one intelligent, rational atheist has raised his or her ugly head.
You are using atheism as a qualifier to determine that someone is unintelligent and irrational, which means your reasoning is circular, you are the irrational one, and you almost certainly need professional help from a mental health expert.
No, moron, I am asking a question, and it must be a good one given how bad you are trying to troll it. Answer the Q or shut up. Or be banned. Your call.
