Re: Welcome to EvC
What I'm not going to do is go back and find all of the times that someone was practically foaming at the mouth over my arguments.
Uh-huh. You're convinced that people attack your arguments because they hate Christians?
Did you ever consider that it might simply be because you are ignorant and wrong?

Re: Welcome to EvC
But this argument extends to why anyone would attack the notion of God as if it has any consequence to them.
I've never heard of anybody "attacking the notion of God." What I have heard of are freethinking individuals defending themselves and their entirely reasonable positions against your fellow religionists.
If you don't believe in God then what do they care?
You're asking the wrong question, as any atheist can tell you. The proper question is "if we don't believe in God, what do you care?"

Re: Welcome to EvC
Likewise, if God is truly just a childishly fanciful notion then what does that say about you, the philospoher, who spends himself in engaged in deep conference over such notions?
Like most believers, you drastically overestimate the amount of consideration it takes us to dismiss your ridiculous God.
Seriously. As atheists, we don't spend all that much time thinking about your religion. Ideas about God simply aren't a part of our lives, except when your fellow religionists are trying to cram them down our throats. Aside from that, though, your ludicrous "God" is almost never on our minds. Why would we waste the time like that?

Re: Wow!
Can the following statment be proven false:
God exists.
I'm sorry, what exists? "God"? You'll have to pardon my ignorance but I don't know what that word means.

Re: Welcome to EvC
The 2nd law of noncontradiction is what everything is reducible to.
The what? I'm familiar with the law of noncontradiction from logic, but there's only one of them.

Re: Welcome to EvC
Its the Laws of Logic. There are at least 5 of them.
11, according to
Laws of logic - Wikipedia
I don't see "the 2nd Law of Noncontradiction." Just the law of contradiction.

Oh, Christ. Another philosopher. Well, I guess it's easier to destroy knowledge than to acquire it.
