Answering Athiests

1. Christianity must destroy reason before introduce faith
2. destroy happiness before introduce salvation
3. is profoundly anti-pleasure especially in the area of sex
4. Sexual pleasure is the most intense form of pleasure
5. To deny oneself pleasure, or to convince oneself that pleasure is evil…
:- George H. Smith

1, Many Athiests avoid reason when debating the subject and use ptolmic dogmatism instead.
2, Many Athiests come across as so angry and express such bitterness towards Christians it appears that to be an Athierst one has to be miserable.
3, Christians know the God who invented sex while many Atheists persue pleasure in speaking against Christianity
4, Sexual pleasure is the closest physical act to something spiritual but knowing Jesus is the real thing.
5, Many Athiests spend vast quantities of energy trying to convince everyone that Christianity is evil. They use ridicule, dogmatism and sarcasm in their ptolmioc rants against us. They come across so miserable that you would think they thought pleasure was evil.

'Religious people split into three main groups when faced with science. I shall label them the "know-nothings", the "know-alls", and the "no-contests".'
:-Richard Dawkins

Athiests are split into two main groups. Those who don't believe there is a God and are content and fundamentalists who are those who don't believe there is a God and constantly speak against those who believe in God for no apparant logical reason at all.

Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."
:- Richard Dawkins

Science is the great cop out. As many Christians believe in evolution it can't be used to disprove the existance of God.

Where is the "handiwork" of a loving and caring God in leprosy? In muscular dystrophy? In Alzheimer's disease? In genetic disorders, causing some children die of old age when they are barely 10 years old? In wildwires, killing humans and animals alike in horrible agony? In allowing diseases, murders, genocides, unspeakable atrocities?
:-Many

That's a classic reworking of Anselms Ontological Approach. Why can't you Athiests invent any methods of your own instead of changing ours?
The fact that the majority of people do not suffer from such disorders is testeament to Gods goodness. As for murders, genocides, unspeakable atrocities, they prove that man has fallen and needs a saviour. As we need a saviour and God is good the incarnation had to occur.

Complex, statistically improbable things are by their nature more difficult to explain than simple, statistically probable things.
:-Richard Dawkins

The probability of life evolving from simple one celled creatures to us means that we are improbable and as a result difficult to explain. As we are improbable and we are here however improbable God is is irrelevant. Actualities are what are important here and not probabilities.

God exists, if only in the form of a meme with high survival value, or infective power, in the environment provided by human culture.
:-Richard Dawkins

Has anyone seen one of these memes? Is there also a meme for believing in memes? Why won't any psychologist or neurosurgeon back up your theory of memes?

The meme for blind faith secures its own perpetuation by the simple unconscious expedient of discouraging rational inquiry.
:-Richard Dawkins

I obviously havn't got that meme then. Here's a rational enquiry on your theory. Has anyone seen one of these memes? Is there also a meme for believing in memes? Why won't any psychologist or neurosurgeon back up your theory of memes?

I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.
:-Richard Dawkins

That has got to be the most nonsensical phrase ever. The Bible actually tells us to seek understanding.

What has 'theology' ever said that is of the smallest use to anybody? When has 'theology' ever said anything that is demonstrably true and is not obvious? What makes you think that 'theology' is a subject at all?
:-Richard Dawkins

From systematic theology came the scientific method of deduction. Therefore wothout theology there would be no science as we know it. As a result theology has given us all the scientific discoveries so far. Fundamentalists in both theology and science may deny the link between the two magisteria but it is still there never the less.

Creationists make it sound like a ‘theory’ is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night
:-Isaac Asimov

I some cases that is true.

I don’t believe in God. My god is patriotism. Teach a man to be a good citizen and you have solved the problem of life.
:- Andrew Carnegie

That's what Hitler thought.

Faith means not wanting to know what is true.
:-Friedrich Nietzsche

Atheism is as blind as any religion. Just because you can't see the moon during the day doesn't mean it's not there.

Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned.
:-Unknown

Not true. It is reasonable to question ones beliefs.

George Bush says he speaks to God every day, and christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to god through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd.
:-Unknown

Of course not all Christians have worked out that all politicians say such things to get their votes. God not existing sounds equally absurd to us. If somebody said God doesn't exist because a hair dryer doesn't exist we would call that a ridiculous argument. I fail to see how the non existance of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd.

You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep-seated need to believe.
:-Carl Sagan

What evidence have you got that there is not a God?
