  2. Re: (Some) Atheistic Females celebrate Abortion Parties

    That's because you don't read your own sources, you just like the headline. It's to help cope with the difficulty of what's done and to help raise some money for the operation.

    It's pretty common knowledge - much like you would simply say "not all Muslims support terrorism" and leave it at that.

    Is it a fair representation? In my opinion it's not, as while there is a...

    No, the opinion I'm referring to is

    I corrected myself too slowly, so I'll restate I explained why your opinion is wrong.

    and I've just explained why "just is" just is wrong. Now would you like to have another stab at it?

    Edit: I misspoke. I explained why your subjective opinion is objectively wrong.
  8. Re: Atheistic Churches look for new non believer members..

    No it wouldn't. Again, it makes as much sense as saying it's stereotyping to say all Muslims are terrorists. You're making assumptions about someones opinions of theism based entirely on the fact...
  9. Re: Atheistic Churches look for new non believer members..

    It's about as accurate as saying all Muslims are terrorists. It's gross oversimplification.
  10. Re: Atheistic Churches look for new non believer members..

    The lacking qualities of atheism seem to stem from your stereotyping the entire category (because labeling it an ideology, movement etc. is absurd seeings as it's a non-thing). So the idea does not...
  11. Re: Atheistic Churches look for new non believer members..

    Elaborate on this statement. How does atheism as a concept lack maturity?

    To be fair to him, it's a consistent distinction to make, and logically sound too if you're willing to assume the commandments did come from God.

  24. Re: Atheistic Churches look for new non believer members..

    Atheism still not a religion, surprisingly the number of times you say it is hasn't changed that fact. To say that all atheists are the same would indeed be like saying all theists are the same.

    Most illogical? Scientology. The invention of the religion is in living memory - there's really no excuse for it to be as much of a thing as it is.

    Mormons are a close second.

    By that same token - a lot of thread are made in the EMM - what's so special about this one that has provoked you to flip out over it, if we apply your logic that a post constitutes "flipping out"
