Atheism is an irrational stance on God

"Taking LSD can make you feel like you've discovered the meaning of life. Is it "irrational" to say no to cocaine and LSD?" No. Thus Con cedes this point to bronto. -- Con: "What does militant mean?" Milli- (symbol m) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of one thousandth . https://en.m.wikipedia.org...- Tant- "The part of a womans body that is between the anus and the vagina." www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tant Con tried to define it, but did not source his definition. By my sourced definition, it looks like Con is wrong. -- Con: "Personally, I am close friends with many Christians." Citation needed. We will need to see pictures of these friends, and proof they are Christians. We also need proof that squonk ever had "said" discussions with them. If not, Squonk drops this point. He could also be a Nazi, but we have no proof. -- Con: "Is this "militant atheism" on my part? Am I guilty of "spiritual genocide" because I'm openly critical of the Christian faith?" Yes. Squonk is a militant Atheist by his own manufactured definition seeing he is "openly critical of the Christian faith" according to himself. -- Con: "snorting cocaine will also make you feel really good." The only way Squonk could know this is if Squonk snorts cocaine. Since Squonk snorts cocaine his reputation is hurt, especially when in debate. It is possible that Squonk did this debate while high on LSD. If so, it is possible that he is currently incapable of abstract thought. -- Con: "Christianity may very well make you feel good." Con openly admits Christianity "can make you feel good", yet rejects it. This is irrational. If Con rejects an ideology that would be helpful to his mental health, Con is guilty of OCD by "Mental Contamination". www.ocduk.org/types-ocd Meaning? Con has purposefully chosen to reject the good psychologically and adhere to the bad. Instead of: 1)Eternal life 2)God loves you 3)Eternity in bliss and happiness Con has consciously chosen: The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference." -Richard Dawkins, head of New Atheism Movement https://www.goodreads.com... This is actually a mental disorder called negative self talk. Con is in a negative feedback loop. IThis is the Achilles Heel of good psychological health. http://psychcentral.com... http://serc.carleton.edu... When I say "God loves me", Con says, "No He doesn't." When I say, "I have a friend in Jesus", Con says, "No I don't." When I say, "I'm going to have eternal life," Con says, "I'm just going to die." This is a psychologically destructive state of mind. It is also a good way to push people away, ending in nonsatisfactory relationships, discontent with life, and a feeling of hopelesness and pointlessness. http://www.marcandangel.com...

Disbelieve your opinions Stay away from negative people!" -Israelmore Ayivor "7 Habits of Negative People" Notice what Con does. Con: "Many of these people have devoted themselves and built their lives on the Christian faith. From time to time, we discuss religion. We disagree. I explain the reasons why I don't believe what they believe." I reiterate: They will... 1. Demean your value Atheism-There is no purpose. God doesn't love you. 2. Destroy your image Atheism-There is no meaning. 3. Drive you crazy Atheism-I don't agree with you. Let me tell you why! 4. Dispose your dreams Atheism-There is no eternal life.
