  do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

  even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

  the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

  Shorty, you have to understand how things works. Attempting a Gish Gallop will get you dismissed as irrelevant. Attempting to deny reality will get you dismissed as irrelevant. Not bothering to understand the discussion will get you dismissed as irrelevant. Pretending to be dumb will get you dismissed as irrelevant. Pretending to understand logical fallacies will get you dismissseed as irrelevant. Accusing people of things while being wrong will get you dismissed as irrelevant Attempting to be clever with more clever and smarter people than you will just get you smacked around and then dismissed as irrelevant.

  If you expect and want to be taken seriously, then form a cogent argument, present it, be prepared to defend it and discusss it. Be prepared to learn and understand when you're wrong and, despite every juvenile instinct you have, realize there are a shtlload of people that know and have forgotten far more than you. It's not that hard, Shorty.

  Yay, more insults

  Why do you consider reality to be an insult?

  To simply dismiss a claim as "irrelevant", would be (for the third time now) an argumentum ad lapidem. It would also be rude, and dishonest if a person knew what they were doing... Because, I dunno, someone had told them, more than once, in this very thread.
  Jus' sayin'.

  Just not saying much, then. Ample proof, ShortStuff, has been given. What's rude is not bothering to understand the argument before you jump and start saying ridiculous, irrelevant and pointless things as if you've any clue what's going on.

  However, you are you about one single thing. You dunno and and appear to be not at all interested in fixing that.

  Since the whole of the rest of your post is born is error, I'm not bothering with it, Shorty.

  So, where are we? No one can define god in a way that doesn't make their god either irrelevant or an asshole unworthy of worship. Asking people who make ridiculous claims to prove those claims is proper. FMF has the name "pumpkin" for me all to himself. Atheism is simly a lack of belief in god, gods, godesses or the supernatural. There are both strong and weak versions of atheism.

  Your attempt to use subtle misandry to minimize and belittle me was not unnoticed and frankly, is cheap and foolish...

  Oh, ShortStuff, that wasn't subtle. Men that use misogyny in a jam ARE suffering from something, so it was neither cheap nor foolish. And if copying me is the best you've got, well, then it appears I'm spot on and firing on all cylinders.

  I've no wish to be your queen. It's a shame that "being consistent" and "knowing something" is pedantry and obfuscation to you. You've the potential to actually know things.

  In any event, I hope you figure out what is causing your short man's disease and get over it.

  If authority is needed when asking people on an online forum to support their claims about reality, where exactly are you getting yours from, pumpkin?

  Well, first, I'm not "pumpkin". Your attempt to use subtle misogyny to minimize and belittle me was not unnoticed and frankly, is cheap and foolish.

  Secondly, your comment that I addresse was about requesting people to calm down their claims, not about whether or not it's proper to ask for support for a claim made. Those, you see, are different things.

  BTW, it is entirely proper to ask someone to support their claims.

  All I kept popping up for was to ask some atheists to calm down their claims

  Well, the problem is that you've neither the right nor authority to do that. Well, that and I don't want to.

  it's boring repeating points that people quite intelligent enough to understand, are pretending have not been made. [Take vivs LOLtastic response above, a perfect example... "U r dum so i iz rite"]

  Well, I see the circle jerk crew is out congratulating themselves on a successful circle jerk.

  As I said, a shame but understandable. I know where you're coming from and admire such an approach.

  Why would you admire an approach that is the least thoughtful? It seems like something an intelligent and thoughtful person would av... oh, wait. Got it.
