atheism = self defeating.
first may we define our terms.
the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.
Still waiting for an answer to my post...
I showed that it is not self-defeating for an atheist to assert that god does not exist as long as we define god.
I notice you never actually reply to refutations. You post wordy responses that sound like replies but when you wade through the verbiage it turns out you have totally avoided the actual main point.

The amount of private messages and their content [that I am receiving] disagree with you.
Yes there are a cadre of theists who love it when some mug joins and spouts all the vacuous nonsense they wish they had the courage to post. You will get lots of PMs and plenty warnings about me and others. Remember those same theists tried out all your fallacies already and had it explained to them why it was wrong.
Don't let it go to your head. Despite what they tell you, you haven't said anything interesting yet.
You are parroting lots of Wm L Craig bullshit and not engaging in genuine conversation with anybody. If you ever slow down and engage in genuine dialogue you will realise how much you have to learn.
so it is now two days after another islamic terrorist attack.
how many muslims are in the streets protesting and condemning this evil?
how many are marching in all the big cities condemning this in mass protests?.
How dare you think you're any better than Muslims! YOUR religion has done far, far, far worse than theirs! Just admit it already!
I'm not a christian either.
Your precious Bible tells us to brutally stone adulterers and rape victims to death, and encourages warmongers to kill a woman's entire family and abduct her as a "bride" (i.e. sex slave).
You are absolutely correct.
But in defense of christianity they got over behaving like moral retards a while ago. Islam is like christianity was 500 years ago. It's like the slow kid in the class.

TWM - I will discuss evolution with you any time but stay on topic in this thread.
Here is a link to 38 threads I have written on evolution. Take your pick...
By the way tell me which books that present the scientific evidence for evolution you have read.
I predict the answer is none and you will ignore the question.
my boy is going to play for watford football club!
and whilst i didn't take his revelation to seriously, i am was glad his " goal" isn't to pioneer.
:-).
I hope he develops into a top class player and makes you even prouder!!
And wealthier!
1.there are times when a doctor decides that the only life saving medical treatment -short of a miracle- is a blood transfusion.
in such a case, what should be done when a person refuses treatment on religious grounds and why?.
2. should a person be allowed to "mutilate" his body and why?.
I have to agree that no medical procedure should ever be forced on an adult who is capable of being consulted on their wishes. It should always be forced on a child.
However the reality is that no JW actually understands the biblical commands concerning blood and they are prohibited from getting that information. I reckon given some quiet time for a one-to-one I could persuade any JW that they should at least hesitate before giving up their life for this dogma...

1 - When the armies of Joshua carried out god's instructions to kill hundreds or even thousands of women and infants in cold blood were they doing something that was objectively good?
2 - Is infanticide normally objectively bad but it becomes objectively good if it is ordered by god?
3 - If you had been in Joshua's army and you were commanded by your god to kill hundreds of unarmed women and infants in cold blood, one by one using a sword, do you hope you would have the faith to obey god or the courage to defy him?

Similar story in Glasgow last year. A Muslim shopkeeper was murdered by another Muslim man for saying things that were not Islamic enough. The local MP organised a vigil for all religious communities to come together in solidarity. Guess how many Muslims turned up?
Go on have a guess?
Yep you got it. Not one!
Moderate Muslims are afraid of the extremists with good reason. Reform must come from within the community.
Outspoken exJWs the are shunned . Outspoken exMuslims tend to end up dead.

That's brilliant! Very well done to him. Can I ask what age group he will be playing at?
I coached amateur and semi - pro youth football for over 20 years. The ones that make it into pro clubs are a very small percentage.
Please let us know how he gets on.

I have honestly not got the first clue what you mean John. My definition is the very epitome of reasonable and yet you find some pretty excuse to find fault.
I am weary of trying to converse with others who appear so disingenuous.
