Children Are Born in Ignorance -- Believers in atheist Dogma Remain So, Unto Death

"Okay...which God?"" There is only one God. "I don"t know your religious affiliation or how you interpret your religion. I don't have a religion. Everyone has a religious affiliation, honey. If you take the stance that you believe in a god, that means you have a religious affiliation. You are some type of Theist or Deist if you believe in a god. If you believe in a non-intervening god, you are a Deist, and if not, you are a Theist. You just set up these vague answers to yell out "Straw-man!"" I never made that statement, so that is a straw man logical fallacy on your part. You just did. Also, you really never yelled out “straw-man”? Strange, I seem to recall this differently. (Just look up) "Tell me specifically what you have against Atheists." There's no such thing as an atheist, so nothing. Ok...You use the term “Atheist dogma”, as in, the dogma of Atheists. You have one (metaphorically) standing right in front of you, but you deny my existence? Are you sure you exist? I assume you think that everyone believes in god, and that Atheists just pretend they don’t, but that would be ridiculous. I think that flat-earthers are wrong, but I won’t deny that they exist, or that they believe what they say. This may be a little difficult for you to comprehend, but some people don’t see evidence for god. They think that there are better explanations as to how the world came to be. We are not some magical peanut butter monkey monster that lives in coat pockets, we are just people with different opinions. "Also, Atheism does not have a set of beliefs...Some are Conservative, Libertarian, Liberal, and everything inbetween." That entire statement of yours, in quotes directly above this sentence, was a set of atheistic beliefs. Um, no. I listed a set of contradictory beliefs that various Atheists might have. In order for them to be a set of Atheistic beliefs, they would have to be something that Atheists, as a whole, agree on. Have you heard of the term ideology? Everyone has one, and each ideology has a different set of beliefs. If we wanted to list the set of beliefs that Atheists have, there would have to be a consensus as to what they are. An Atheist can’t be an Atheist if they believe in god. All Atheists do not believe in god, period. This is the only thing that binds a person to that label. Aside from that, they can think whatever they want about the world as long as it does not contradict that point. In order for someone to be a Christian, that person would have to believe in the divinity of Christ, period. A set of beliefs cannot be a set of beliefs if they directly contradict each other (clarification is the only exception.) Ex. “I believe that life is sacred, so abortion is wrong!” “Then why do you support the death penalty?” “It is sacred until you commit an atrocious act worthy of death, then you forfeit your life.” Again, Hindu is an ethnicity, not a religion. "Hinduism is an ethnic religion" No it isn't. ", so it"s both" No it isn't. ". It"s like being Jewish" No it isn't: You don’t have to feel embarrassed if you didn’t understand it the first time. Here are some helpful sources for you to understand Hinduism as a religion: http://www.bbc.co.uk... https://www.himalayanacademy.com... http://www.beliefnet.com... "In addition, there have been studies done that demonstrate Atheist tend to have higher IQs." No there haven't. 1. Scroll up to Round 2 2. Go to the bottom of my argument 3. Click on the (1) link 4. Click on the study the article references 5. Read it Your Welcome :) "It matters more that you can understand the world around you" Without God, nobody could understand the world around him. "What makes you think that?" I think it because it is an objectively true fact. Have you forgotten where you are? Do you need any help? This is a debate, so when you make a claim, you have to support it with evidence. Even if it is “an objectively true fact”, you need to show me. At least try to prove your point. You haven’t won any debates as is, so I don’t see the point of lazily strewing some nonsensical points while demonstrating your lack of knowledge on anything you talk about. Seriously, ask some people for pointers on how to organize your arguments. It will go a long way. ") I could find some horrid and harmful things related to your own religion." No you couldn't. Now I can’t because you haven’t told me anything. Let’s give you the benefit of the doubt and say you have a special version of god that no one has thought of yet. One can argue that the belief in god is harmful in itself. Considering that “harm” is subjective, yes, that can be argued, and you can’t deny that. It is harmful to put all your faith and trust into someone with absolute power, because their morality may not be trustworthy in the least. It is only “correct” because they say so, and the only reason you listen to that is because they have power over you. If their most convincing argument is the threat of punishment, you should not trust them. "Your beliefs are not pure, and neither are anyone else"s." I don't have any beliefs. This honestly made me laugh, so thanks for that. 1. You believe in a god 2. You believe that all other religions are false 3. You believe that Atheists don’t exist. These are all beliefs. "Also, can you please tell me what you mean by "Atheist dogma"?" Which part of the exceedingly simple, two-part phrase "atheist Dogma" do you fail to understand? "atheist," or "Dogma?" " You repeat this over and over but never clarify what that entails. Is it the godlessness? Is it worshipping "Evolutionism"? Is it bowing down to our "Atheist masters" like Richard Dawkins and Charles Darwin?" Those three things are all part of atheist Dogma, yes. All of your other statements since this debate began are also part of atheist Dogma: You are a believer in atheist Dogma. Do you not understand what a joke is? Or do you think I pray to Dawkins every night before bed, and read verses of The God Delusion to ward of Christians? I already explained why “Atheist dogma” doesn’t exist based on your horrible and almost nonexistent explanation of it. When you debate someone you are supposed to read all of their arguments and prove why they are wrong (or, if you can’t, admit they have a point.) "There was no agreement." Yes there was -- you made the statement and I agreed with the statement. No there wasn’t. You purposefully misinterpreted my argument and agreed with that, not my actual argument. You can’t change reality to suit your needs because someone will call you out for that. -"Clarify what your personal worldview and religion is" Again, I do not have a religion, but you can call my worldview "realism." Your worldview is an art style? All jokes aside, your “amazing” last line is ridiculous. You decided to join a website that was about debating other people and arguing your worldview. Out of excitement (or your ego) you challenged person after person, claws bared. Once you entered the ring, all that bravado was for naught. Instead of writing detailed arguments that deconstructed your opponent's claims, you say “No it isn’t.” just like a child. Not a bit of class either; you’re just as good at debating as you are humble. I could excuse that if you bothered to write more than three words, but you couldn’t even offer me that. No one is convinced you’re right but you. All I wanted was a bit of openness that comes with a typical debate. I hope you learn something from your lackluster performance. So, as you’ve said to countless other people: “You lost the debate: Thanks for your time! =)”
