There is no such cult known as atheism. As long as people are alive, they're going to believe in some type of dummy god and put their faith in that dummy god.

Nope.
Categorically incorrect.
According to your belief system, they may replace your personal god in their life with something else. This is known as an idol. It is not a belief in, or worship of, a deity. Therefore they are atheists: people who disbelieve or lack belief in a god or gods.
Prove me wrong.

@Pikachu A dummy god is an idol. Yes, I disagree with you.
@GodSpeed63
And an idol is not a god. If you disagree then explain why an idol is in fact a god.
If you fail to do that then you acknowledge that an idol is not a god and therefore an atheist does not believe in a god and is therefore *gasp'8 an atheist

*ahem*
An idol is not a god. If you disagree then explain why an idol [i]is[/i] in fact a god.
So explain why you think it is and we'll go from there.

@Pikachu I've already explained this to you before. Why do you need to hear it again? Do you want to get rid of your idols?
@GodSpeed63
No. You haven't.
But if you have then it will be no trouble to explain it again in brief.
Go ahead.
Or concede the point. Those are your choices

@Pikachu How many strikeouts will it take before you discover that it's you holding the bat instead of me?
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Pikachu I must be a good pitcher in order to strike you out twice.
@GodSpeed63
I asked such a simple question. At least i thought it was simple.
That's strike three.
Try again next time.🙂

You're out. I Told you, it's not me that strikes out, it's you. I've already hit my home run when I invited Christ into my heart.

@GodSpeed63
Too bad accepting christ into your heart doesn't give you the power to answer a simple question lol
I don't even know why you try to contend with me. It's not a fair contest and you only weaken your argument in the eyes of any observers.

Nice bluff, but I've answered your question already and you know it.

Funny how you've always already answered something but you never seem capable of actually showing that answer when challenged.
You're dishonest or self-deluding. Either way, you need to step up your game, son😁

@Pikachu Look back on our conversations and you'll find it.
@GodSpeed63
lol who do you think you're fooling, coward? This is why i find you such a pathetic debater.
You do this every time. You're willing to spend hours and days repeating that you've already answered something but you never seem to have the time to just repeat it or even just copy/paste it.
You're either astonishingly lazy or a dishonest coward.
Either way, you're only weakening the case for which you argue so passionately and yet so incompetently.

Still calling your bluff, my friend.

@GodSpeed63
lol what bluff are you calling? Is that just a thing you say to save face?
Can you actually identify the bluff i am making buy challenging you to actually give me a straight answer? Do you not get that [i]your[/i] bluff of pretending to have the answer is being called out?
Of course you do. Hence you're attempts to re-direct the conversation.
Sorry ,tiger. Not letting you squirm away

No, I'm saying it because it's the truth. You've seen the evidence I gave and now you're trying to save face by rejecting it and pretending I didn't send any.

....so my bluff is asking, challenging, [i]demanding[/i] that you repost the evidence which you think disproves my position?
lol what a strange little maze your mind is...
