Some believers are just rude! [Spirituality & Religion]

This one old guy was calling atheists stupid fools, and then offered a Bible passage and the debunked 'intelligent design' argument in support.

If you want to believe, that's fine- but don't be calling more rational people hateful names.

You got your rude people, you got your believers, you got your atheists. He's not rude because he's a believer. He's rude because he's rude. It could be argued that calling non-believers 'more rational people' is as rude as calling non-believers stupid fools.

Whatever happened to "I disagree"?

@PrivatePeeks I am not arguing faith against reason. I think they're compatible. I'm pretty alone in that. It is not my job to convince others.

I am merely pointing out that I may have had experiences that to me prove what I believe, that it would be irrational not to believe. I appreciate what I know will not convince non-believers.

The assumption that someone is irrational not to agree with what I do or don't believe includes the assumption that we both know exactly the same things.

@Mamapolo2016 I've never heard a rational argument from those of faith. All have been successfully debunked. I don't dispute the right to believe, anyway. And I won't equate the discovery of joy to knowledge only believers might possess.

@PrivatePeeks I know.
It goes both ways I think. I don't mind what other people think, as long as it is not forced upon me. :)
@PrivatePeeks They really can, I had one call me a bunch of names because I replied to why I believe there is a God. 馃槀

@Snowvixen I'm a moderate. I reason for nature providing eternal life. I see value in both sides of the equation.
@PrivatePeeks I wish more people were more level headed. :) We are all humans love don't hate. :)

Sorry you had to go through that, it's a personal choice and also a choice of how to present it. We are all on our own path in this world and neither side should shove the other.

But atheists are ignorant and also stupid for thinking believers are not rational...
PrivatePeeks26-30, F
@Unlearn No rational argument has ever been produced in the entire history of faiths.
Unlearn41-45, M
@PrivatePeeks and it never will be produced...

More Rational? 馃槀
PrivatePeeks26-30, F
@Abbenthewarwolf Atheists value reason more strongly.

I've heard all kinds of arguments. It's more important to argue ideas. It shouldn't be personal. Lots of people forget that.

@uncalled4 The holy books of religions can forget this as well.
