I Think Indoctrinating Children With Religion Is Child Abuse

A christian claims to be a "trained scientist" and a "qualified theologian" yet repeatedly demonstrates a profound ignorance of both subjects. When asked to present evidence for his "god hypothesis" he can only respond with childish insults. He claims he is right because anyone who doesn't agree with him is an idiot. :)

Now, having run out of even childish insults and unable to answer valid points rationally, he's reduced to deleting opponents' replies. I suppose such childish behaviour is only to be expected from a senile old man.

Ah yes... I blocked him the other day after an altercation.

The guy is nothing more than a troll.

@Quizzical I get the feeling that a lot of the christian post are trolls. It doesn't seem credible that they actually believe all that BS - but then I remember what I was like when I was a christian. :(

@suzie1960 People seem to want to believe in something greater than themselves.

It's kind of understandable really. When life is going to shit I guess folks feel better that it's because of a mysterious plan as it's easier to believe that than admit you fucked your own life up...
@suzie1960 Not necessarily nice to call someone's faith bs. Especially when there are those who have died for that faith. For simply proclaiming their faith. It's sacred to them. My faith is sacred to me.

@KayraJordyn I don't like christians forcing their beliefs on to me but that doesn't stop them trying.
I don't like that either. Anyone forcing anything upon anyone against their will is wrong. But being in the faith at one point, you know that Christians are as flawed as ever. Don't worry--my bible's across the room, I can't thump you with it. ;) 😋 I'll just say, we all fall short, we all disappoint. Christian, Muslim, Jewish, hedonistic dudes and ladies, we all fall short.

@KayraJordyn I studied the bible thoroughly when I was a christian. That's why I'm no longer a christian. I call it BS because that's what I found it to be.

@suzie1960 Evangelical xtians are a damned nuisance. They just won't accept that not everyone wants to hear about their silly delusions.
suzie1960 · 61-69, F
@rob19 They often turn nasty, even violent, when you tell them that.

This is gross, dramatic, wrong, and ridiculous. But you know that. That's why you used it. @Harriet03 Enjoy trying to manipulate those who actually have hearts, while you call those same people who happen to love their PERSONAL Savior as good as terrorists. Recklessness has a cost. I pray it doesn't cost you more than it must.

@KayraJordyn EVERYBODY'S entitled to a opinion, I don't delete other people's or threaten them with eternal damnation!
Just saying ✌
@Harriet03 just saying, you're a singular individual? Or you're like so many of us?
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
@KayraJordyn Individual, means singular!
So you won't acknowledge what I asked, and meant. Awesome.
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
@KayraJordyn I'm not sure what you really meant.
Your sarcasm belittles You!

I don't know about the US but here in the UK I've found christians try to force their beliefs onto others, often using threats, intimidation and even violence to do so.
