We should be respectful of persons, however ideas... NeoGreen Nov 2019 #2

No, just no. Wat is the point of mockin someone's belief. Dream Girl Nov 2019 #4

Because the beliefs are sometimes worthy of mocking. edhopper Nov 2019 #5

That is an excellent question. guillaumeb Nov 2019 #9

only some theists are logically deficient. Voltaire2 Nov 2019 #12

"Some" of any category are. guillaumeb Nov 2019 #13

Your intent was clear. Voltaire2 Nov 2019 #19

The documentation is abundant. guillaumeb Nov 2019 #20

So you cannot document one poster here who has claimed that all theists are logically deficient. Voltaire2 Nov 2019 #21

No, I cannot document your misrepresentation of what I said. guillaumeb Nov 2019 #22

So when you wrote: "When some few here mock theists as being somehow logically deficient" Voltaire2 Nov 2019 #23

If I had said "atl ltheists" your observation would have been correct. guillaumeb Nov 2019 #24

Sometimes it's quite entertaining to watch the logical deficiency in action Major Nikon Nov 2019 #27

And you get to decide? Who appointed you a arbiter of truth? Dream Girl Nov 2019 #14

huh? I was merely objecting to the universal categorization that all theists are logically deficient Voltaire2 Nov 2019 #18

For example: creationists. Voltaire2 Nov 2019 #11

Here's a question you STILL have yet to answer. trotsky Dec 2019 #35

Each person has to answer that final question. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #42

What is your opinion, then? trotsky Dec 2019 #46

So you ask a question, and then proceed with numerous ad hominem guillaumeb Dec 2019 #62

Because you've never given your opinion on this. trotsky Dec 2019 #63

And then you try to distract from the behavior I noted. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #66

Show your sincerity about engaging in dialog... trotsky Dec 2019 #67

Distraction, part 2. guillaumeb Dec 2019 #68

I asked you to express your opinion. trotsky Dec 2019 #71

No, it is not a tenet of this group. MineralMan Nov 2019 #6

Thank you for explaining CurtEastPoint Nov 2019 #7

The idea that religion is entitled to respect just reinforces religious privilege Major Nikon Nov 2019 #28
