Dude you're being kind of an ass rn
I'm kind of an ass.
Fair, nevermind then
But I'm also watching a movie with my brothers right now, so I'll respectfully leave the conversation. Would love to insult you at a later date.
Rather than engage in a productive conversation (and admit you made a mistake) you'd rather bluster.
alright, bye Zex
No I was pretty productive, I just insulted you too.
Later
lets cool down K0R it's over
Get a thicker skin.
Goodbye everyone else.
Oh, you are mistaken, I was amused, not insulted 😉
Will do, Gris.
That turned into a mess real fast, and I think it all just came down to Zex not seeing the full context and getting overinvested
It would seem
It's not his fault, having your core beliefs questioned is uncomfortable.
He can get kind of passionate about this stuff from what I've seen of him
He'll get used to it with more time on the internet.
He may be young
I'm suspecting so. Nothing wrong with that. He has the advantage of more time.
But moving on
Yeah, trust me. When I was a young Christian, I would practically burst into flames at the first prod at my faith. When I first became an Atheist, I was probably worse.
But yeah, anyways
Pretty much you have to look at the universe and ask is it just random or was intelligence behind it. From that point you can see you are either atheist leaning or faith leaning.
discussions about stuff like this are best viewed as us coming together to look at the problem, not defending our views from each other
Exactly
we're all just people trying to find the answers
Believing or not is never the problem
As long as one's set of beliefs doesn't lead to... you know, blowing yourself up in a crowded place or taking a joyride with a rented van... (There's a reason I said I'm quite content to live around Christians)
💯
If you cause harm to anyone due to faith as stated above you need to reevaluate your beliefs.
Well, that's just it... I must say that I also have more respect for the man who lives according to the letter of his belief system, than the moderate apologist.
Pretty much one should not harm others in order to convert
But... Suppose one's core text told one to? And suppose one had a very good reason to believe in it?
Are they harming innocent people?
Or are these people causing harm as in invading army?
Sorry, could you clarify the second sentence? I think I'm reading it wrong.
As in said people are invading the other
Military action
Oh, well in either case innocents are being hurt, yes?
