Its such a broad criticism. "Athiests make fun of Theists and Theist breathe, but Athiest also breath. Isnt that so hypocritical?"
That's disenginuous.
You would need a specific argument to even start to make sense of what you said
It's more like "Atheists accuse Theists of breathing, but they turn around and breathe themselves. Isn't that so hypocritical?"
Thats a better analogy
Because it's what I'm actually saying.
Atheists accuse Theists of cherry-picking, but then they turn around and then cherry-pick passages to support their points.
That *is* hypocrisy.
They are suppose to refute every point?
No, they are supposed to hold themselves to the same standards they hold Theists.
If they complain about Theists having a "listen and believe" mentality, then they shouldn't have their own version of it.
But its the Theist belief being used
If they complain about Theists cherry-picking, then they shouldn't cherry-pick themselves.
If there are flaws in one part it sorta deyracts from the message for the outsiders
No, this is me observing how Atheist groups and pages work.
Whats being accused is that Theists cherry pick what they follow in their own religion
However, Ehzek, that doesn't justify Atheists doing the same thing.
But what is cherry picked by athiest is still part of the religion regardless
If you accuse someone of cherry-picking, you shouldn't cherry-pick regardless.
If you do, you are no better than the person you accused and, if anything, you look worse than the person you are accusing.
By being hypocritical yourself.
That's the problem.
What you are basically saying is that they shouldn't point out the hypocrisy..
If you're being hypocritical yourself, your argument is invalidating itself.
No you aren listening
"Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone."
Atheist are not cherry picking their own beliefs
Ehzek, but they are cherry-picking from the Bible to make their point.
Yes
Which they accuse Theists of doing.
Hypo critical would be if there was an atheist bible and they cherry picked that
Ehzek, two lefts don't make a right.
You are argueing false equivalence
No.
I am arguing for consistency.
If you are going to argue against a religion, don't do the thing you accuse your enemies of doing.
They arent cherry picking their religion
That is what they are accusing theists of.
No.
They are accusing Theists of cherry-picking from the Bible itself.
