To all the people who argue with the exsistance of god..

[Atticus_Ellis]

What right do you have to tell people that god doesn't exsist, any more then they have the right to tell you he does?

If someone has said something religious, instead of arguing, or getting offencive, why don't to politely explain why you don't agree. Of corce not every one is going to be polite when telling you god exsists for example, so why don't just ignore them? On Totse what does it achive when you start flamming someone who believes in god, why not ignore it? Why waste every one's time including your own time?

I respect every one's opinion on the exsistance of god, if I don't agree I keep it to myself, or I explain why I don't agree, if they get angry or can't answer a question I don't go, "zomg, lolz, I told you so!"

I'll just change the subject, or walk away.

Just think abvout it.

Well, if they visit a forum with a name like "My God Can Beat THe Shit Out Of Your God", they should expect to hear from those who express different views as to the existance of God. This forum is for open debate. Why should we ignore anything?

Correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't see any thread in this forum where someone has tried to ram a certain religion down someone else's throat.

Don't get me wrong this forum gets the odd idiot spammer every now and again, just like the others. But other than that I don't see anyone trying to convert everyone here.

Ever heard of something called "debate"? If we just sit around and act polite, then we'll never discover the truth.

I agree that "flamming" is useless, but I'm not just going to metaphorically walk away when someone makes a ridiculous claim.

I agree as usual.

And OP: I've got to be honest, I dislike this "Why do you athiests blah blah blah" when just as many if not more religious people have done the exact. same. thing.

Just because you believe in god it doesn't mean that you, or anyone sharing your beliefs, is above doing the same thing as anyone else.

Personalities are person to person.

My personality didn't come attached to a religious choice.

You don't have to insult in a debate.

I find it insulting that you assume he implied that people insult when they debate.

It's insulting to assume things about people.

Pfff, just go to a different forum, there are plenty out there that won't bang on your insecurities.

Because if we do it politely then we dont get the desired effect.
