If you are going to argue against a religion, don't do the thing you accuse your enemies of doing.

2018-07-03 01:07:31 UTC  

They arent cherry picking their religion

2018-07-03 01:08:05 UTC  

That is what they are accusing theists of.

2018-07-03 01:08:55 UTC  

No.

2018-07-03 01:09:05 UTC  

They are accusing Theists of cherry-picking from the Bible itself.

2018-07-03 01:09:17 UTC  

Whichbis their text

2018-07-03 01:09:26 UTC  

They argue that Theists cherry-pick from the Bible to validate their points.

2018-07-03 01:09:50 UTC  

If an Atheist cherry-picks from the Bible to validate their points, then that is no better than the Theist doig it, Ehzek.

Except it points out the discrepancy in the relgion

2018-07-03 01:10:36 UTC  

No because it is increduous most of the time.

2018-07-03 01:10:47 UTC  

Then how should they do it

2018-07-03 01:10:50 UTC  

I've actually bothered reading the Bible.

2018-07-03 01:11:04 UTC  

Half of the stuff they cite is heavily doctored to fit their needs.

2018-07-03 01:11:23 UTC  

Instead, they should actually focus on the bigger picture.

2018-07-03 01:11:51 UTC  

If they want to criticize religion, they should focus on where inconsistencies lie.

2018-07-03 01:12:32 UTC  

As they are acting now, they're a laughing stock to anyone who has a Bible by their side that they can cross-reference.

2018-07-03 01:12:58 UTC  

How can you point out an inconsistency without "cherry picking"? Thats literally how you find them

2018-07-03 01:13:58 UTC  

By not taking one passage and running with it and, instead, taking larger sections or entire books, in their entirety, and then analyzing them in detail to see what they describe and whether they actually fit in with other books.

2018-07-03 01:14:35 UTC  

So you want a meme page to be a university research paper?

2018-07-03 01:15:13 UTC  

Because thats where you will find that sort of information.

2018-07-03 01:16:37 UTC  

Like here lets use something from the GET page

2018-07-03 01:17:23 UTC  

This is cherry picking to point out what sometimes happens but isnt universally true.

2018-07-03 01:18:07 UTC  

Are you saying the admins are in the wrong for not having a detail discussion and analysis on the situation?

2018-07-03 01:19:31 UTC  

Or are you going to pull the stick out of your sandy ass vagina and realize its a low effort satire for a moment of amusement?

2018-07-03 01:21:08 UTC  

You would also be cherry picking by your own argument continuing the cycle of ignorance you despise just because.

2018-07-03 01:21:41 UTC  

Unless you have a detailed analysis of Atheists Im unaware of.

2018-07-03 01:22:10 UTC  

The difference is that one is satire. The other seeks to be taken seriously.

2018-07-03 01:22:37 UTC  

The religion is satire?

2018-07-03 01:22:38 UTC  

Atheist Republic desperately posts terrible arguments as a means of trying to be taken seriously.

2018-07-03 01:23:00 UTC  

GET is satirical and knows that what they are posting is meant to be comical.

2018-07-03 01:23:16 UTC  

Your comparison is illogical.

2018-07-03 01:23:39 UTC  

Anything on social media generally isnt meant to be taken seriously

2018-07-03 01:24:04 UTC  

Thats reserved for .org or .edu sites

2018-07-03 01:24:43 UTC  

Hence why those sites can be used in school papers and for research and reference.

2018-07-03 01:25:54 UTC  

They might be serious but they arent to be taken seriously.

2018-07-03 01:27:10 UTC  

You are literally cherry picking atheists facebook page to discredit them all.

2018-07-03 01:27:54 UTC  

Again unless you have some huge reference guide on atheism that Im missing?

2018-07-03 01:30:29 UTC  

Yes... and Atheist groups are still a laughing stock to this day.

2018-07-03 01:31:19 UTC  

They post the same arguments and do the exact same thing as most other Atheist facebook pages because Atheism, in general, has lost any sort of ability to formulate arguments.
