Many were probably raised like me. It's like that saying: religion is like circumcision, if you wait util someone is 21 to tell them about it they probably won't be interested;)jamiessmileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150972137054126110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-68676703247816944922013-02-23T10:10:26.654-05:002013-02-23T10:10:26.654-05:00You're absolutely correct on your assessment o...You're absolutely correct on your assessment of theistic thought. Theist think within the confines of their own doctrines and presupposed beliefs. Anything outside of those confines is forbidden and shunned vehemently by the church establishment. Theist purposely twists science and misapply philosophy (apologetics) to try and validate their already faulty and skewed belief system.<br /><br />Regarding atheists meet ups its just a personal issue with me. I am very selective of my friends and although I met some nice people there I didn't feel right in that setting. I am not an activist nor do I care for large gatherings too often. I am and have been pretty much the loner type my whole life.<br /><br />I would like to attend one of those annual skepticon events though before I leave this shitty earth.

When you read the statements by Christianity’s foremost apologist, it is so much easier for you to understand how the theistic mind thinks. An atheist on the other hand thinks quite differently,..."<br /><br />I on the otherhand would not define what Craig or his kind do as "thinking." I classify it as "non-think." It follows a predictable pattern of rejection of any "thought" that is grounded in simple analysis, or reasoned inquiry. It is reducing reason to a bothersome burden to be ignored, instead preferring to defer to only dectrinal non-think and convoluted apologetics. It is the antithesis of thinking in any true sense, IMO. It is "slave think" with the company line indoctrination as the master of the enslaved follower. Atheists aren't called "freethinkers" for nothing.<br /><br />Curious..why no more atheist meet ups? If you found it as uninspiring and mundane as I do, I'll understand. I've sworn off them a few times, but then it gets me out of the house so I go anyway ;)<br /><br /> Dromedary Humphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165566701791663057noreply@blogger.com
