"R are extremist, and D means the opposite of R and disagree strongly, therefore A must be just as extremist to!". I see this logical fallacy a lot by neutral theists...

70Is Richard Dawkins an ostentatious acrimonious supercilious pusillanimous calumnious censorious vituperative querulous embittered obsessive and bombastic bully?
by slimboyfat inrichard dawkins closes down his free-thinking/free-thought site (www.richarddawkins.net) for 30 days to reconfigure it 'because too many morons were contributing drivel' (he doesn't put it quite like that!
) he is then surprised because those self-same contributors call him everything under the sun (i won't repeat the names flung at him on our ultra -refined boards).
he now wants the site more or less 'peer-reviewed' (by analogy with papers to learned/scientific journals having to be vetted by vips).

GENETICS- CREATIONISTS need not be INTIMIDATED.
by hooberus ingenetics- creationists need not be intimidated.. .
internet evolutionists almost universally and repetitiously proclaim that modern neo-darwinian evolutionary theory is supported by overwhelming evidence and that there is no evidence for biblical creation (or even mere intelligent design) for that matter.
they will dogmatically claim that evolution receives universal support from all the real scientists and all the facts from genetics, biology, geology, paleontology, and every other ology that one can think of.

2010 DC" Remain in Gods Love"...Most Unloving Yet??
by JWFreak inthe talk outlines for the summers conventions are only being printed over the next 2 weeks or so.. the finished outlines were ready in the middle of december 2009, however sources that i trust tell me that at least 5 of the talks were returned for last minute rewriting which is highly unusual.
this has held up the printing until now, a delay of over a month.
this is a fact!!.

Let slip the dogs of war...
by sd-7 inthe calm before session 2 of borg court is a chilling one.
quietly, our units go about their duties, but deep down, they're wondering: can we match swords with the very powers-that-be?
we are fighting against mount olympus itself, the elders, the organization--with our beloved wife and child looking on.

SD-7. I am really stunned by your experience and really wish the best for you, i just dont know what to say and perhaps there is nothing i can really say :-(. I dont have any idea what awaits you at your 'trial', but your story, especially the way you spoke to the elders the last time, reminds me of this: http://www.towerwatch.com/Testimonies/judicial_committee_meeting.htm .
I think the only advice i can give you is this: If you feel you are under to much preasure, go to the toilet and splash water in your face and think things through.
i hope the best for you man....

She sang Amy Winehouse two shows ago and wore a red dress (the horror!). Wonder if we will hear a Kingdom Melody soon? :-)

The toleration of evil and the issue of universal sovereignty explanation fails
by gubberningbody inof course i should have seen it right away, but i had two tickets to paradise, so i was willing to ignore all the things that didn't add up.. .
things that don't add up if jehovah has even a shred of morality:.
you don't tolerate evil for generations because you have a bet with the devil.. .

To athiests who hate God
by EndofMysteries inquestion, if this is true, in the book of enoch chapter 10:11-12, "all the sons of men shall not perish in consequence of every secret, by which the watchers have destroyed, and which they have taught, their offspring.12all the earth has been corrupted by the effects of the teaching of azazyel.
to him therefore ascribe the whole crime.
if that is god's truth, and your only accountable for your own wickedness and actions, would you feel guilty for your accusations against god?

EOM: Let me re-ask my question since you missed it and i think it is very important for you to understand the average atheists mind.
I once saw a documentary about a people who lived in the rainforest. They believed very strongly in several Gods who, apparently, lived in trees and caused various illnesses (as an atheist i might ad that the fact they looked pretty inbread, under-fed and allways had like 6 mosquitos around them may have played in, but i digress). Anyway, once in a while an elder would deside to get some of the Gods on the phone and get high. Then, the Gods would tell the elder that the most sensible thing to do was to go out and kill someone from the neighbouring tribe and eat him/her, which they would then proceed to do.
Here is my point: The suffering of the guy who was eaten, and of his family, was very real. It is an barbaric thing to go out and eat somones dad, wife or mom just because an old asshat ate some bad mushrooms.
But that was their religion. As an atheist, i may wonder why the Gods not for once said: "Hey, just ask the TV-crew to give the kid a malaria shot, that will fix him up" or "Dont eat others, it does not help", and this is one of the reasons i, like you, do not believe that the elder actually got hold of any gods: They did not exist, the mushrooms made him think they did. I am sure you will agree with me on that point.So we have a bunch of imaginary Gods calling murder and canibalism upon the innocent and i ask you this: Do you hate these blood-thirsty Gods, or does the story not just reinforce your view they are not real?

I suddenly understand the deeper meaning of this thread. It is nothing less than basic set theory, a mathematical pun - ask yourself: "How many atheists hate god?" NONE! it is the empty set! So all properties apply on atheists who hate god, it is logical to say they are blue and green AT THE SAME TIME! heck, it is even logically sound to say they hate and love God!
But that didnt get me any monkey love..
