Religious threads...

[shadowninja]

Why do they go on... and on... and on? Some people believe, others don't. That's it. Why do atheists feel the need to prove they are right on non-religious forums? And they go on and on. Whether it's a car forum or a sports forum. You're all making it cool to be religious. It's kinda anti-establishment!

Actually, it's not just forums. You see it on TV and the radio. Nobody believes God exists. Presenters knock religious types. And yet there are lots and lots of people who regularly practice their faith.

Because non atheism is ignorance. Denial of obvious fact.

Double negatives are also ignorance. . . . . .

I expect many people on here believe in god but don't feel the need to post about it.

Live and let live eh?

It's the same for fairies! Lots of intelligent people say they don't exist, there is not a single shred of evidence thay exist, yet some people still choose to believe they do. Who do the Afairyists insist on the need to prove they are right on non-fairy forums? They're making it cool to believe in fairies!

You never see fairies taken seriously on the TV and radio. They don't believe in fairies and knock those who do and yet there are many people who do believe in them despite the breathtaking lack of evidence and indeed, huge evidence to the contrary. I guess that's the difference between faith and tradition and fact.

Whether you're right or not, does it justify pages of arguments? It's like arguing whether Jaguar or Porsche makes nicer looking cars.

That would work well except you never see threads about fairies.

The one about some bloke putting an 'm' badge on his BMW 330d is longer...

It generates opposing views, thus something to debate.

What else would we do on here?

There was quite a long one featuring StigmundF in the far east if I recall...

Generally the threads aren't pages of people arguing about whether god exists.

The vast number of posts are hundreds of different people saying over and over, there is no god and you might as well believe in the tooth fairy, easter bunny etc etc.

The arguments are usually about the nature of atheism or what it means to be agnostic.

I quite like the threads where people post links to youtube of cars making nice sounds. But what is a nice sound?

Ah. Thanks for summarising. I usually get bored after the fourth "God doesn't exist" post.

The only slight variation is when someone says you can't prove god doesn't exist and the hundred people mentioned already all post "that's not how science works" or more tooth fairy stuff.

There's trouble brewing at the bottom of our garden. I'm thinking of banning the cats from bringing liquids in through our cat flap and we are going to introduce id cards. That'll fix it.

A Fairy Liquid ban?

You start a thread complaining about religious threads, on which you also post.

Riiiight.
