This is a rather interesting logic trap .-.

@SW-User Written by a confused xtian attempting to attribute it to CS Lewis, without proper sourcing.

@NativeOregonian it is a rather logical argument. Well structured and the premises flow very well 🧐

The question is, what is wrong with it?
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@SW-User Simple, it is saying to just accept "god" on blind faith, to reject logicical reasoning for Atheism.

As you appear to have very little education and very little learning how would you know?@NativeOregonian @NativeOregonian

Oh boy 😬
I'm going to sit this one out

@NativeOregonian another ignorant statement. Because you accept atheism on blind faith and ignorance, which is usually par for the course for most atheists, please don't attribute the same to Christians, and especially to Lewis who came to faith after logical reasoning . Your assertion that people accept God on blind faith is just a another illustration of your own ignorance of the nature of true faith. But then atheism is always based on ignorance rather than knowledge

@Speedyman I used to be a strong believer at one time, almost went into the ministry in the mid 90's, read the bible cover to cover numerous times, used to have the audio bible on cassette tape. However, I still had serious questions, like why is paul quoted by radio preachers and televangelists by an average of 15 to 20 times more than jesus, the original apostles considered paul a fraud. Why do so many xtians get offended when confronted with matthew 25: 31-46? And so much more.

@Speedyman You're just a fucking idiot that refuses to think for himself and would rather believe lies written by bronze age desert nomads that had zero concepts of science and nature.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
I don't know who misinformed you but the early apostles did not consider Paul a fraud. This is a myth of German liberal theology which has now been dismissed by serious scholars. If you read the New Testament you will see the opposite is the case. Unfortunately people want to put their own stupid interpretations on the Bible . I can't see any Christian being offended. By Matt 25:31f. Challenged, yes, but why offended? @NativeOregonian

@Speedyman Then I suggest you read this http://www.judaismvschristianity.com/paulthe.htm
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Sorry but you are the idiot who believes the lies written by ignorant men. You are the person who refuses to think for yourself because if you did you wouldn't write the crap you are writing at the moment which is just churning out some crap you've read on the Internet. You seem to have the ridiculous Notion that because a book is old it cannot be true. What a load of crap . It's also may not have had the advantages of modern science but they had the advantage of sense which is more than you have@NativeOregonian
Speedyman · 70-79, M
As I say you uncritically believe any crap that is on the Internet because it happens to coincide with your own bigoted non-beliefs@NativeOregonian
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@Speedyman Once you open your eyes and realize that religion is a hoax perpetrated to steal from the weak minded, to keep them subjugated through fearmongering, you will never be free.

@NativeOregonian

You should only uncritically believe the crap that is in their book NativeOregonian!

Some crap is just more real... at least, ... evidence?!? Just believe the damn book NativeOregonian. It's also on the internet if that makes you feel better.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
You are hilarious. Are you saying that a man like Lewis was weak minded? A man whose lectures were the most popular at the most prestigious place of learning in England? The problem is that yours is the argument used by weak minded atheist to try and prop up their weak arguments. Never mind go and join Richard Dawkins and shake your fist at imaginary fairies at the bottom of your garden@NativeOregonian

please don't troll on my site @Kwek00

What's up whith the faeries now a days?
It's been attributed to "Richard Dawkins" and ... Damn there was this other guy you guys really don't like. Fuck, now I have to delve it up somewhere?

But I'm pretty sure you guys are both wrong tough... that entire Faerie thing was "Sir Arthur Connel Doyle" if I'm right? You know, the one that wrote Sherlock Holmes?
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@Speedyman That is exactly what I am saying, anyone that accepts anything on blind faith without questioning is a weak minded idiot.

As you do atheism. It is amazing to me the number of atheist to accuse others of being weak minded but they themselves prove themselves to be weak minded by gullibly swallowing the most idiotic arguments for atheism put forward by equally weak minded people. But as that's all book they despise says , 'only fools say in their hearts there is no God.' @NativeOregonian
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Well as you live in the world of illusions and fairytales rather than reality you would know@Kwek00
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@Speedyman
Yeah the fairytale world, the one that is so full of imagination that when you die, you just die (like that's it). I know, people in my world really had to make a lot of stuff up to come to that conclussion.
Speedyman · 70-79, M
Your world is the one of fairytales friend. Go back and crawl into your hole of imaginary fantasies. You get plenty trawling the Internet@Kwek00

@Speedyman I wonder if the messages you delete are valid arguments you have no rebuttal for, and cannot circle them around, to call someone ignorant
