March 2012 Screwballs

[Manwë Súlimo]

He's kinda infamous on YouTube. And I hate this part:

I will pray for you!

I can't stand pretentious Christians.

My little bro notes this pic of a children's game card which raises questions to say the least:

That's a bunch of crap.

Screwball to Simpleton again for this statement when JPH told him that he hasn't done the necessary study in historiography:

Although I have no training per se, in the field; I have about 7 years of Sunday school and reading of the Bible.

[Manwë Súlimo]

Seven years of Sunday School sessions with a green felt board and those puppets you stick on 'em is more than enough training for the understanding the Bible.

[ApologiaPhoenix]

7 years is how long we're in Middle School and High School.

Obviously enough time for me to be educated enough on evolution for any new atheist. Right?

I agree, but just observe what nerds it makes us for thinking less of the guy for bragging about Sunday school.

Please. You don't want to give us Loftus heads with such a compliment.

[Benson Shays]

The difference is that actually learning stuff (not a Loftus approved activity) humbles people. But you probably just have a big head, Brony.

... Especially since Sunday School and Reading the Bible are both "Your Mileage Will Vary," endeavors.

Did I say that out loud?

No, you typed it.

Screwball nomination for Youtube user 1GodOnlyOne.

What do you make of that guy? He seems to like to trash FAs (using that line that he's a neutral third party) and then someone said he was a sockpuppet for shockofgod.

[Chaotic Void]

Atheist Morality #65: Lie to a group of people and collect a paycheck.

That's almost like Atheist Morality #10: Claim to have no problem with religion... but If JWs come to the door, slam the door in their face and brag about it on Facebook while calling them hillbillies.

He seems very strange. He once got into an with David Funk (TheFunkyTheist) over whether Romans 1 condemns homosexuality. He held some odd view. From what I remember he argued that the passage only taught that homosexuality was a degrading passion brought about by God's judgement and somehow that means that homosexual relations themselves are not sinful. He called David a hateful bigot for arguing that Romans 1 does condemn homosexual relations. I had a pm exchange with him a while back where he expressed confusion over the Trinity. He seemed to favour modalism. According to David he also seems to be more concerned with defending monotheism rather than any particular monotheistic religion. He thinks all monotheists need to unite against the atheists. Indeed if you look at his channel you will see a long list of arguments for the existence of God but nothing about Jesus or Christianity specifically. He is very protective of Muslims. He blocked me once before for having video on my channel condemning Muslim extremists who burnt poppies on Rememberance Day while breaking the two minute silence with hateful chanting. I was only condemning those particular Muslims and those like them, not all Muslims. As with this latest accusation he made, it seems he didn't bother even watching the video to make sure it really did promote hate.

So he's a strange guy indeed. Do a video sometime J.P against a Muslim and see if he turns against you.

If he needs a list of Muslims to use it would be best to go to http://www.answering-islam.org/index.html
The "Polemics Rebuttals" section has a good list of people who don't know who they are talking about.
My "apologetics" ( I use quotes because I don't have a real education ,and just self educate for what I need to know) began several years ago when I suddenly had the interest to study what Islam taught. I looked for information from Muslim as well as anti-Islam (anti-Islam because the ones I had been to were only against the Islamic teachings ,and not against individual Muslims) sources. Oddly enough I ended up witnessing more to atheists (some were fundies) ,and Hindus (one was somehow a fundy atheist Hindu ,don't ask). Right now I am taking a little break from beating my head against their brick wall so I can do some research (and occasionally read the Annals of Hearthstone). Hopefully I will be better prepared the next time I interact with them.

If you want to become quickly depressed, read the comments section of any of the articles talking about this. I'm kinda speechless right now.

Perhaps you can take heart in the knowledge those little souls will be waiting to greet you in heaven while the proponents are burning in hell (or whichever form of eternal teeth-gnashing you prefer)
