Some who voted for Trump certainly were halfwits ... the halfwits who stormed the Capitol Building, for example. I imagine their average IQ would have been even less than mine (9). That's clearly false, otherwise all of those halfwits wouldn't have voted for Trump. How long do you think it will be before Biden has to use sign-language to communicate and a walking-frame to shuffle around on?And that creepy old witch, Nancy Pelosi ... how does she keep escaping her retirement home?

You got a problem with old people? Not all are incompetent or incontinent.

Again, none of what you say is based on factual data
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Some who voted for Trump certainly were halfwits ... Dredge writes:
Case in point. The followers were half-wits but the leaders were definitely evil. ... the halfwits who stormed the Capitol Building, for example."Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." -- motto of the Special Olympians

May I remind you of the late Stephen Hawking? He was far beyond the use of sign-language and a walking frame to "shuffle around on" - as you so sympathetically put it. Yet we all know his contributions to his field were world-class. If all you can muster about Biden and Pelosi is the use of snide insults concerning their age or physical fitness, you must have run out of real arguments."Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Darwin.

That's a nice move, Dredge, ignoring the whole thread and starting all over again.
Dredge writes: [...] just like I know I'm going to win the lottery [...] Obviously, you've missed the finesse of Stile's argument. Stile talks about knowing that things do or don't exist, and you say that's "just like" knowing the future. These concepts are not the same at all, of course. And if you really thought about it, you'd know that."Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Darwin.

Basically, the argument here is that absence of evidence equals evidence of absence.
If you combine that with a general disdain for organized religion in general as well as lumping most Christians in with Republicans, These evidence-based thinkers are practical and precise, but they would dismiss any God that we imagine to exist as fantasy based. Without solid objective unbiased evidence, they have written a relationship with God off of their to-do list. Ringo even goes so far as to argue that the entire concept of God is relative to the individual. I disagree because the relationship is a two-way street and apart from the still small voice whom I pray to and talk with, no non-Judeo Christian candidate is ever heard from. Except to destroy me. The demons masquerade as God's still small voice whenever I am dissatisfied with my lot in life and want something that I don't have. I can explain more fully through audio conversation rather than this tedious chore of written argument."A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You

It's axiomatic that any argument that ends with "I know that God does not exist" is a stupid argument.
