I find it funny that...

Am I the only one who gets a chuckle out of seeing that most Christians, fundamentalists especially, communicate through 'netspeak'? They're always trying to put Atheists down, saying that it's 'dumb' to not believe in God, and yet, in doing so they have no problems denoting their own inferior intelligence.
It doesn't really take much thought to see the flaws in such an argument. Although, to be fair, Christians are raised from birth to avoid free thought at any costs, so I can't expect them to think anyway.

Here's a nice little example. It's an excerpt from a conversation I had with a fundie a while back:
Quote:
"u dun bleev in God?"
Eh, no, I don't.
"y not"
Because I haven't seen enough evidence favouring his existence. :/
"us"
What?
"were evidense of God w/o Him ther wud b no inteligent life"

[At this point my head was flooding with clever snaps, I couldn't resist.]

Judging by your linguistics I'd say He didn't create a darned thing.
"wut do u meen"
Well, think about it. You're arguing that intelligence is the proof of God's existence, and you're doing so in a horribly unintelligent manner.
"im not horible"


Intelligence, eh? I'm not seeing it. :/ And these are the people that get into Heaven? I'd much prefer the damnation over being surrounded with imbeciles, thanks.

Dunno, just thought I'd share one or two of my insights.

Well, you get weirdos in every group. Most fundamentalists (I'm assuming) do not talk like that. Hopefully.

yes it's scary.

But I have seen one young earth creationist
who really takes the cake:

He tries to take out atheism with lies really, he is just dum.
like in this 6 part:

about why devil created evolution.

I particularly enjoyed the ad-hominem attacks Smile
(I love the beginning where they take the fact that some authors are cited more than once as evidence that something dodgy is going on - rather than the fact that they might have actually used more than one reference to that author...classic).
As for the second clip - the scary thing is not the idiot doing the video, it's the comments below...

i watched a couple of his videos, and most are just the standard misinformed nonsense you get from Young Earth Creationists. He sits and asserts with absolute authority that "this is science" and "this is not science"... yet he gives completely incorrect explanations for how that determination is properly made ("this is science because it has been observed"/"this is not science because it has not been observed", for example). And his arguments contain the standard plateful of logical fallacies you'd expect from an average high-school student's argument.

One thing that did make me shake my head was his explanation of what a straw man argument is. That has to be the singularly dumbest explanation of a straw man argument i have ever heard. (i think it is in his "10 answers" video.) The saddest part of the whole endeavour is that after going out of his way to accuse the original "10 questions" of being straw man arguments, then describing straw man arguments, he goes and offers a plateful of straw man arguments as responses. i weep for the species.

But what really makes me weep is the Zeitgeist response. For the most part he points out how silly the Zeitgeist authors' post-hoc rationalizations are - and at one point he even explicitly points out that they are post-hoc rationalizations, and therefore silly... yet doesn't clue in to the irony, but i digress - but then he goes from pointing out the absurdity of Zeitgeist's claims... to saying they're working for Satan.

*sigh*

The reason there are only "positive" comments because he deletes every non positive one. or simply said: he is censoring all non (pro)religious comments. Looks kinda 11th century to me. Really he is a fanatic all his logic is flawed and he simply lies or utterly fails at doing any kind of research himself.

Well, damn.

i had a modicum of respect for the dude - sure he was incompetent, but he was trying, and that takes chutzpah. Even his wacky satanic bullshit didn't take away all of the respect i had. i figured that maybe he's just been mis-educated by religious folk, and that hopefully he would eventually be shaken out of his stupor by something (i always give the benefit of the doubt - but if he had continued to live with his eyes closed and fingers in his ears, eventually i would have lost that respect for him).

But that censorship does. i have less than zero respect for the little shit now.
