You can never ever win a debate over God


This film is obviously Christian propaganda intended to spread Christianity, yet it ironically backfired: it made it clear to me that religions dwells with the beauty and fulfillment you feel when you choose to believe. But certainly not from logic. Strongly reminds me of The Life of Pie.

I feel bad for you and other unbelievers cause you firmly believe there's no God and therefore no afterlife. Which means you have a great fear of death and also firmly believe you will never see your loved ones again that have died. It's really sad.

Which means you have a great fear of death


Why would I fear nothing? The only ones who, logically, would have fear of death would be those who worry endlessly about punishment for perceived sins in an afterlife.

you will never see your loved ones again that have died. It's really sad.


Yes it is. But somethings one just has to be face up to.

reply

Actually I am a believer who chooses to believe. This being said, I do not appreciate religious debate that would distract attention from my original purely factual assertion: God cannot be explained with logic, its existence stems from the positive feelings or attitudes it arises in people.

reply

unbelievers cause you firmly believe there's no God and therefore no afterlife.


Not firmly, but I'm pretty comfortable in my position.

Which means you have a great fear of death


Absolutely not, it's a natural part of life. I came from nothing and I'll go back to nothing, what's to be fearful of? If I believed there was God and an afterlife I'd certainly have a fear of spending an eternity having to worship a deity that loves you unconditionally, as long as you do exactly what they want of you, without any form of free will. Saying that, Hell sounds like it'd be one non-stop party somewhere warm so that might be fun!

That is certainly not the case. I think anyone who actually believes this is nuts. The Devil wants to torture you forever and ever.

Is rather amusing. By the way, if such things were true then it's pretty obvious that the Devil is just the fall guy for God, so let's not pretend that it's not God who wants to "torture us forever and ever"!

You shouldn't, it's quite liberating.

Why would that be, there's no possibility of hell in my worldview.

You know what's really sad is you playing psychic.

reply

At least I tried. I think it's funny that you athiests spend time on a board of a pro Christian film and also seem to like to make fun of Christians. It's really God/Jesus you're making fun of and rejecting.

Then don't, playing psychic not only goes against the Christian faith but makes you look pretentious and stupid as well.

I think it's funny that you athiests spend time on a board of a pro Christian film and also seem to like to make fun of Christians.


I can't speak for every atheist that comes here, and I"m not saying you're wrong technically, but I don't just come to this board specifically to make fun of Christians. I usually only come here every once in a while to discuss certain topics that have to do with religion, or to see what kind of mayhem a certain user *coughkurtcough* is pulling this time. But I guess this certain user has became much better and more tolerable.

It's really God/Jesus you're making fun of and rejecting.

Are you seriously claiming to be God/Jesus right now?

reply

No. Of course I am not God. But when someone refuses to believe in God/Jesus they are rejecting God/Jesus. It upsets me as a Christian to see people say that the Devil is the good guy and God is the bad guy. Anyone who says that is foolish.

In your post, you specifically said that when people are making fun of Christians, they're making fun of God/Jesus instead. Your words not mines.

But when someone refuses to believe in God/Jesus they are rejecting God/Jesus.


Once again I can't speak for Atheists in general, but most of the atheists here on this board believe that a person named Jesus did in fact exist (I think there's only one atheists user here that disagrees), but we all reject the divinity aspect of it. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, if you can't provide one, we as an atheists are justify in rejecting the claim... or so logic dictates.

I'm half and half on it. Likely amalgamation of several people I reckon, one of whom may or may not have been called Jesus, but I certainly wouldn't say it's something I'm necessarily accepting over.

reply

No, it's not believing your unsupported, extraordinary claims.

Your holy book describes god killing millions of people including children. That's not something a "good guy" does.

reply

I do not endorse religious bashing on any circumstances whatsoever, yet this time I would say you (and not I or anybody else) have prompted this tone of conversation. I understand it’s more christian to end this discussion with a kind and compassionate message, rather than fighting back or belittling atheists for debating on a pro-christian film – which happens to be anti-atheist as well. I have never seen anybody change sides due to a real world religious debate - in contrast to this film fiction where the whole class uninamously challenged the professor’s stance.

reply

F-ck, not only are you a dumbsh-t, you're an arrogant dumbsh-t. This film promotes hatred towards atheists. Of course it's going to get responses from atheists.

Oh, and by the way, the whole making fun thing? Your holy book has something to say about bearing false witness. You should probably stop.

reply

It's really Odin you're rejecting.

So you feel that the ones you are afraid of death are the ones you don't need to convince themselves that their is some sort of eternal paradise waiting for them after death?

reply

I feel bad for you and other unbelievers cause you firmly believe there's no God

Actually most unbelievers don't "firmly believe there's no god", but rather just reject the notion that there is a god because there's no evidence.

and therefore no afterlife

It's possible to believe in an afterlife without believing in god, too. Though admittedly this is quite rare amongst western atheists.

Which means you have a great fear of death

Perhaps, but not necessarily. I don't have any particular fear of not existing. After all, I didn't exist for billions of years before I was born and that never troubled me!

Also, it's my observation that many believers fear death just as much as anybody else.

and also firmly believe you will never see your loved ones again that have died

Reminds me of the time Stephen Fry was in Salt Lake City taking a tour of the mormon temple there. The guide told the group that they knew that after death you would be reunited with all your relatives. He put his hand up and asked "Yes, but what happens if you're good?"

It's really sad.

Is your aim in life to have the beliefs that make you happy, or the beliefs that you feel are true?

You've made it abundantly clear that you're an out of touch old man, with an odd obsession with the sex life of a young actress and a vileness that has allowed you to think that it's okay to casually call people pedophiles.

reply

obsession with the sex life of a young actress


I couldn't care less if Stewart dates ugly lesbian girls. Even she could find cuter girls, but that's beside the point. I personally don't care who's gay. But the perverts on the Stewart board want to screw her, and I find that to be not likely since she has a sex partner.

allowed you to think that it's okay to casually call people pedophiles


What else would you call someone who's attracted to Stewart? She looks 12 and plays underaged girls all the time.

That's a lie. I defended the way she looks in relation to you claiming she doesn't look like a real woman. At no point did I say she looks great. And I did see your original post before you deleted it, why you've become that sort of person I don't know. Nor do I have any idea why you included that as a footnote in a post to someone else. And I still want my apology.

Apologies Graham, it doesn't have anything to do with what you posted. Kurt's reply (which has now been deleted by admin) had a strange rant in which he accused another poster of being attracted to 12 year olds. Unsurprisingly he's been called out on it, hence the seemingly unrelated conversation that has followed your original post.

reply

This is what cosmo was defending on multiple posts.

She doesn't even look like a woman. It's so strange, and he won't defend her on her own message board. You figure it out.

But these Brits do come from the land of 'Twiggy' the "model", so there might be a pattern.

reply

Rapists end up in hell.

What about the victim. You're not really this dense, are you? His signature says that if he could stop a person raping a child he would. God on the other would allow the rape to happen, while claiming that he'll punish them later on. Which actually isn't necessarily true either, because if he becomes a 'true believer' then he'll still end up heaven.

reply

Imagine if a cop who found a rape about to happen took that approach.

"Well Ma'am, I am going to let him rape you, because I wouldn't want to micromanage everybody. But rest assured, I will punish him after he's done."

reply

Would you rather he be punished before he commits the crime? A minority report, perhaps?

Make no mistake; I'm all about prevention. But short of making it impossible for people to choose and thereby becoming automatons, what would you have God do? Maybe he should have given us some kind of inherent moral or ethical encoding by which we could logically guide our thoughts and actions. You know, some little "voice inside our heads" that tells us that hurting others is wrong...

reply

Would you rather he be punished before he commits the crime?

I didn't suggest punishing him. I suggested STOPPING him.

If you saw a rape about to happen, and you could stop it, would you?

Come on, no evasions : a simple direct yes or no answer.

Make no mistake; I'm all about prevention.

It doesn't seem so, so far.

But short of making it impossible for people to choose and thereby becoming automatons, what would you have God do?

Why not step in and prevent rape, just like a cop would?

Maybe he should have given us some kind of inherent moral or ethical encoding by which we could logically guide our thoughts and actions. You know, some little "voice inside our heads" that tells us that hurting others is wrong...

That would be nice but evidently he didn't do that, since the rapist has no problem with rape.

I can't stop something that isn't happening yet, but I know what you mean... Of course I would. And I have. Like I said, I'm all about prevention. I fully subscribe to the adage: "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

Perhaps the real difference between you and God is that you would make it impossible for people to do bad things.

Everybody has a conscience.

reply

Of course you can.

but I know what you mean... Of course I would.

Excellent. Would you do so simply because it took your fancy? Or would you regard it as a moral imperative that you stop the rape from taking place?

Perhaps the real difference between you and God is that you would make it impossible for people to do bad things.

Well I was focused on that one particular bad thing to make an example. But certainly, if it were within my power then I would make it so that it was impossible for a man to rape a woman.

If it were within your power, would you not? You are, after all, all about prevention.

Everybody has a conscience.

This is doubtful; those with anti-social personality disorder are characterised as having little or no conscience.

And even for those who do, the conscience tells different people different things. There are many men who don't regard forcing a woman to have sex against her will to be morally wrong at all. Their conscience doesn't trouble them when they do such things.

The fact that different people can disagree about significant moral issues demonstrates that the conscience is not in fact some sort of universal guide to a consistent standard of right and wrong.

If it were impossible, there would be nothing to prevent. Why not make it impossible for people to do bad things? After all, we're not talking specifics here, given that rape is just an example.

Yes, I've heard that.

The fact that different people can disagree about significant moral issues demonstrates that the conscience is not in fact some sort of universal guide to a consistent standard of right and wrong.

We may disagree about what is good, but there is no disagreement about what good is. If a rapist who doesn't regard rape to be morally wrong was raped, do you think he would still believe it's right?

reply

I though that God was supposed to have given us objective morality, is that not some sort of encoding?

reply

That's what s/he was trying to imply.

But the fact that people differ over opinions on morality demonstrates that it is not some sort of divine coding.

Not when addressing ideas and beliefs, no. Unless one confuses one's beliefs with oneself.

For the others it would seem their faith is strong enough to withstand a little barracking.

I would be surprised if most cannot differentiate between ideas and people. During the Brexit campaign (since you have dragged this in for some reason) I did not take every Leaver's attack on the Remain position as a personal insult - and feel sure this would be the case for most balanced people.

Actually a large number of people of faith on IMDb have made the same observation that I made to you. But not to you directly. They tend to ignore you because of your rabid militant atheist comments. It's like trying to administer medicine to the dead. They regard you as a lost cause heading for hell. That's why you're usually bypassed.

non-Xian


Jesus wasn't a Christian either. Just a believer in God as his father.

For the others it would seem their faith is strong enough to withstand a little barracking.


I'm use to it. The point was, that you're a compulsive militant atheist obsessed with spreading your faith in nothingness after death, because you don't personally see or recognize evidence of God existing. That's your hang up, and not a statement of reality by any means. You can stop being delusional now...I'm not impressed.

Then you ought to have got over it by now and moved on. How is the ghost hunting and UFO-spotting going? Seen any demons today? Still watching cable TV, YouTube etc for news and scientific information?

How can this be when you told me explicitly that I was not one, only a few months ago? And, since I do not advocate the violent overthrow of religion or consider it pernicious the regular definition does not even apply. Hence, as has been told of you several times previously, you just use the phrase 'militant atheist' as a catch-all swear word - which is not big, and certainly not clever. But is certainly the sort of thing a fundamentalist would say. See how this works?

your faith in nothingness after death, because you don't personally see or recognize evidence of God existing. That's your hang up, and not a statement of reality by any means.


We are all entitled to our opinions and, as usual, I am not upset by yours of mine.

Your peculiar dietary preferences must remain your own concern.

Even so the point stands: you are a non-Xian with a repeated need to defend the assumed outrage of those with whom you have one big, critically relevant thing not in common.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually we all believe God exists


This may well be the case but this still does not necessitate being a Xian - the point really. In the case of a 'brute fact' existence of a necessary natural, if undeliberate, Cause for everything, then few atheists would argue that such a 'God' cannot exist - or even wish to take issue with the notion and those who hold it.

And as for comparing yourself to Christ: I am sure He appreciates it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Reading comprehension problem today? Did he introduce himself as: 'Hi, I'm Jesus the Christ."?


So Jesus was not Christ since he did not say it? Interesting. Have you told those Xians whose religion you hold so dear on their behalf lol?

No comparisons were made ...


Really? So this was not the exchange just above:

just as is the fact that you (an admitted sinner and non-Xian) are the only one ever to complain that I 'ridicule believers'

Jesus wasn't a Christian either


I think it was.

Thank you for refraining from ad hominems, presumably as you realise that they reflect more on you than I.

You ought to know as I patiently mentioned a few in response to a previous equally mistaken, jibe .

No, Film has no interest in those subjects.


What is your opinion on the reputation of Harry Price? How did the new 'evidence' in regards to Rendlesham strike you? Read anything about the Ghosts of the Versailles yet?

Being a militant atheist doesn't require resorting to violence


I didn't say that it did, only. More characteristic, perhaps, is the view that religion is harmful or pernicious and thus needs to be vigorously suppressed. Please link to where I have expressed these views. Or you could be better off just stick to the new 'muppet' swear word you seem to have taken a shine to.

there is no human right not to feel 'insulted'

While that's true, it doesn't necessarily mean that they were, and this very thread is an exemplary case in point. Have you not told Kurt time and time again that he's incorrect for taking your "barracking of faith" as personal insults? According to you, if he feels personally insulted, then he surely must have been personally insulted. How did you put it? Oh yeah... "It is [a personal insult] if you think it is."

QED.

According to you, if he feels personally insulted, then he surely must have been personally insulted


Indeed, it true that an insult is best witnessed and evidenced by those who perceive it, rather than those who deny making it (in the UK this is the legal position for instance towards sexual and racial insults). But even then the freedom to ridicule religion and religious ideas is part of the freedom of speech. Kurt usually objects to things in very general terms, deeming trenchant opinions as 'ridicule' or, the mere fact of being confronted with his ideas with some sarcasm 'insulting' - things which, even if true, are protected speech in most western democracies. Alternatively if it is on behalf of supposed others and things more personal that he speaks, he never finds a single example of an outright personal insult or expression of hatred etc, at least from me to back up his complaints although - he tells us - people write to him in confidence about me in particular, lol. But would someone who finds insult and ridicule so objectionable so readily resort to words and personal attacks like 'muppet' himself?

This does not mean that kurt is actually insulted, as he normally protests on behalf of a constituency which, it now appears, writes to him personally by way of protest rather than making any supposed indignation known to everyone else. Even in the case of the UK, the courts recognise frivolous or malicious claims and can reject them. And, notwithstanding, one doubts that kurt is ever personally 'insulted', at least in a serious way that would make a reasonable person take heed. (His evident obsessions, mood swings & etc have sometimes led me to consider possible psychological issues, but I would express it no firmly than that) He usually comes across as just aggressive and indeed is one quickest to make personal attacks. In this respect, as far as I am concerned I don't even give as good as I get.

The bit where you agreed with me?

then telling me that I should not have mirrored you


I merely explained my position, pointed out that, yes, while those truly insulted are usually the best in a position to know, 'feeling insulting' does not excuse constant frivolous and frankly unbelievable claims or override the importance of freedoms of speech. I then asked if you were 'insulted', since you assured me I was 'insulting people'. Or, for examples from kurt where I have personally insulted someone, beyond some sarcasm. But, nothing. kurt has not said he is 'insulted' either (instead he just suggests a perennial 'outrage'). So: we have neither you, or kurt, claiming feeling 'insulted' - while kurt cannot substantiate his suggestion of previously people apparently writing to him, as their presumed representative here, to make private complaint either. Funny that. Christians I can appreciate may often have a persecution complex and indeed nurse it and expect persecution, since their Christ told them that it would be their lot. But kurt is not even a Christian, so what's his excuse?

The feeling I always get is that, ultimately, kurt just doesn't like people who disagree with him and uses faux outrage, on behalf of others, as a convenient stick to beat down opposing viewpoints. A tactic which, having worn so thin through repetition, is pretty insulting - to the intelligence if nothing else. Behind this he often has nothing to argue with; just further stereotyping and rudeness towards others. As we will no doubt see here.

That's what I said when I asked you to prove that God doesn't exist.


Although I appreciate the attempt at diversion, the question is: still no substantiation of words I have supposedly said then? It doesn't look good for you, does it?

And in regards to that 'proof', do you recognise this?

In his Fourth Way Aquinas points out that we recognize that there are degrees of things. Some things are better than others; some things are shorter or taller or colder or hotter, etc… than others. And thus we rate them as good, better, and best. Yet, for us to have the idea that one thing is better than another, we must have a standard by which all things are measured and that can never be exceeded. Such a top or asymptote, by definition, requires an infinite being, hence it must be God. In the case, therefore, of non-existence there must be also be the greatest example. That would be God, who in idea is necessarily the best example one can possible imagine of non-existence.

Now this is where it gets interesting as there are some, like Kant who would argue that existence is not a predicate say, or we cannot have 'degrees of existence' by which to measure. (To which one answer is that God's existence is indeed of a different sort to the rest of things by several possible measures such as being existent and infinite, 'outside of time and space', or that while as Jesus-God, He was necessarily alive and dead at the same time as He sacrificed himself, etc) In which case we can make a similar argument that God would necessarily be the best of all creators of evil (something which He explicitly admits to in Isiah 45:7), even if just of the natural sort. But then 1 Timothy 4:4 tells us that everything created by God is good.

You should remember than one is only being asked to provide proofs, not proofs which necessarily wholly convince me outright, especially since as a soft atheist I admit I could be wrong in not believing in God's existence. But proofs of a kind there undoubtedly are.

So we have a possible proof for the non-existence of God through internal contradictions:

Evil was created by God as part of everything (Isiah 45:7).
Evil is not good.
But if God exists, everything He creates is good (Tim 4:4)
If existing evil is not good but part of everything, then evil is not good created by God.
Therefore God who only creates everything good does not exist as evil does.


... I do.

Or in regards to 'evidence':

there is at least one, clear, logical argument to be made: which is the Evidence of Absence (it is one which admittedly assumes that any proposed God is one which takes an interest and constantly involves itself in its creation - the only sort for which we can reasonably look):

Evidence of Absence is evidence of any kind that suggests something is missing or that it does not exist. For example:

When a clear, deliberate creator creates reality it would do so unambiguously and clearly.
There is no clear, unambiguous, evidence of a deliberate creator behind reality. (If there was you would have no need for negative evidence from me!)
Therefore, an unambiguous deliberate creator has not created reality.

Since it necessarily follows from the first premise that an unambiguous creator will prove unambiguous, upon observing that there is in fact ambiguity in creation as to the likelihood of a deliberate creator, we can deduce that an unambiguous deliberate creator did not create reality.

This argument is called modus tollens in propositional logic, and is written in sequent notation in this manner:


P ⇒ Q, ¬Q ⊢ ¬P

Per the traditional aphorism, "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence", positive evidence of this kind is distinct from a lack of evidence or ignorance of that which should have been found already, had it existed. In this regard Irving Copi writes:

"In some circumstances it can be safely assumed that if a certain event had occurred, evidence of it could be discovered by qualified investigators. In such circumstances it is perfectly reasonable to take the absence of proof of its occurrence as positive proof of its non-occurrence."

— Copi, pIntroduction to Logic (1953), p. 95

They simply agreed that militant atheists must have psychological problems to be so butt hurt over a film that has no true atheists, and doesn't even focus on true atheist arguments.

Once again Muppet, the professor was not a true atheist. He was just some jasper with an anger mismanagement issue.

they have been 'insulted'? LOL


Because insulting people's beliefs and convictions is funny "entertainment"? I've given you and your ilk a taste of your own medicine and you're still clueless. I have no idea what separates you from the average garden variety IMDb troll that's simply here to sling mud and jerk off.

Are you finally willing to admit that the film purposefully misrepresented atheism kurt?


The professor was a former Christian - angry that God didn't spare his mother. That's not atheism by any stretch of imagination. That's called vindictiveness. Something you're an expert on cosmo.

How's life over on the Kristen Stewart board?


Feel free to join us and find out. Everyone on that board agrees that the Woody Allen film 'Cafe Society' was a winner and Kristen did great.

I made the point that the 2017 Lizzy Borden story is not needed since a recent mini-series on the subject bombed. Devout Stewart fans intend to watch it anyway. But that isn't the board I spend the most time on either.

Since you're so dogmatic about that board and my involvement, perhaps you should join them.

Correct, so are you finally willing to admit that the film purposefully misrepresents atheism? Don't think I haven't noticed that you still haven't answered this question despite the fact that all your explanations of it point to the film purposefully misrepresenting atheism.

Since you're so dogmatic about that board and my involvement


Are you sure that 'dogmatic' is the word you're after, I'm not so sure it is? Either way I couldn't care less about that board. If you want to troll fans of Kristen Stewart (essentially doing the very thing you accuse atheists of on here) all because her boobs aren't big enough to make her look like a 'real woman' then go for it. I get enough of your bigotry on here without calling you out on your misogyny or your ability to act like a horny thirteen year old boy over there.

No atheism existed in the first place, to misrepresent or present, you idiot.

Don't think I haven't noticed that you still haven't answered this question despite the fact that all your explanations of it point to the film purposefully misrepresenting atheism.


No one cares either.


If you want to troll fans of Kristen Stewart (essentially doing the very thing you accuse atheists of on here) all because her boobs aren't big enough to make her look like a 'real woman' then go for it.


The argument made by all her detractors is that she looks anorexic. You've been told this before. Her boobs along with her skinny body make her look like she's about 12 years old. Which I really wouldn't care, except the groupies on that board would like to fck her brains out, and they've stated so. Which means they'd like to mount a girl that looks 12. Getting the picture now, stupid?

your ability to act like a horny thirteen year old boy


Copy and post on that board where I said I'd like to fck her. I'll wait. My argument was that it was nasty to even lust for her since she's known for playing under aged girls. Getting the picture now stupid?

calling you out on your misogyny


Stick your misogyny back in your pants and stop defending the perverts on that board unless you have a taste for jail bait.

reply

FFS kurt. Watch the film, it clearly represents the professor, and others, as being atheists, up until the end at least. That's why it was purposefully misrepresented. You do realise that accepting the criticisms of something doesn't mean you can't like it anymore right?

No one cares either.


That's patently not true.

Her boobs along with her skinny body make her look like she's about 12 years old


She does not look like she's about 12 years old at all. That's only the viewpoint one might take if they're simply trolling others.

Which means they'd like to mount a girl that looks 12.


1) I really hope you're not accusing other of paedophilia.
2) Just because someone who thinks women need big boobs to looks like a 'real woman' thinks she looks 'about 12' (she doesn't) doesn't mean everyone shares your bizarre view. But then you do have a massive issue with those who don't see things the way you do, don't you kurt?

Copy and post on that board where I said I'd like to fck her.


Copy and paste (not post) where I've made any indication at all that you lust after Kristen Stewart? A reader who can understand English might work out that you acting like a 13 year old boy was relating to you posting pictures of Kate Upton under the thread title of 'this is what a real woman looks like'.

she's known for playing under aged girls


Is she? I can't think of any films, at least that I'm aware of, where she's played 'under aged girls'.

Stick your misogyny back in your pants and stop defending the perverts on that board unless you have a taste for jail bait.


Again, I really hope you're not accusing others of paedophilia kurt. I think that even for a hate filled bigot such as yourself that might be pushing things a bit far. I'm not defending anyone kurt, and I certainly won't take your word for it that there are perverts on there, except perhaps those who post links to pictures of half naked women, but I will call you out on the fact that you're clearly trolling fans of someone you have issues with. Oddly enough, you accuse atheist of trolling on here, all because we, most of us at least, have issues with GND. Double standards methinks. And Kristen Stewart is in her mid 20s, I get that you're fairly old but that's a long way past jail bait.

Oh really? Then why did every atheist on this board state that the professor did a very lame job of debating the atheist positions in talking points? The atheists on this board concluded that the professor really didn't know the atheist argument worth a damn. How about that?

She does not look like she's about 12 years old at all. That's only the viewpoint one might take if they're simply trolling others.


Should we count together how many under aged parts she's played in films? She is under developed and specializes in playing minors. And she's basically a bad actor.

I really hope you're not accusing other of paedophilia.


If I was a fan of a 15 year old rapper, and I obsessed about her on an IMDb board, what would you honestly conclude. Be honest for once cosmo.

thinks women need big boobs


Copy and post where I ever said that large boobage is a virtue of womanhood. I think it's the 'whole package' that I was referring to on that board? All aspects of what separates the women from the girls. Hello?

Kate Upton


Kate Upton was just one of many on a list. She ended up as the focus of discussion. I actually offered a list of actual adult women who are awesome. Raquel Welch anyone? Hello?

I can't think of any films, at least that I'm aware of, where she's played 'under aged girls'.


The five Twilight saga films.
Cold Creek Manor
Panic Room
The Messengers
Snow White and the Huntsman
The Runaways

Geez cosmo, I think it's easier to list films where she played females over age 18.

Café Society, but just barely over 18.

Lizzy Borden coming up, but in regard to that film I think Elizabeth Montgomery pretty much opened and shut that story in '75, and walked away looking awesome, if you know what I'm referring to.

hate filled bigot


Explain how I'm a bigot. I don't care that you're gay.

you're clearly trolling fans of someone you have issues with


We'll go through it again, since you have selective amnesia.

I was just passing through the Kristen Stewart board and happened to mention to other guys there that I didn't like her performance in the Twilight saga, which ruined that saga for me since all other aspects of those films were delightful. A number of other guys agreed with me, and her groupies got mad. A big fight broke out and her groupies ended up stepping on their own d*cks when they let it be known what they really wanted to do with Kristen Stewart. I'm telling you, there is a paedophilia attraction that her groupies have for her.

What you believe is your problem, since you didn't want to join the discussion there, or admitted that you don't even care about the actress.

So butt out.





reply

None of them said they were insulted


QED.

So if they were not insulted, then why do you keep harping on about it and condemn on behalf of them?

They simply agreed that militant atheists must have psychological problems to be so butt hurt over a film that has no true atheists, and doesn't even focus on true atheist arguments


Even if we are kind here and leave the No True Scotsmen part aside, or that a supposed everyone behind the scenes conveniently agrees with you, haven't you been reminded by others of the film's 'fat kid'? Why do you omit this exception to your sweeping statement, when I seem to remember you agreeing with it elsewhere only recently?

In any case you imply that, along with all other concerned unbelievers, I am personally insulted by a 'false' depiction. I am not. I just note, as always, that such convenient fabrications make the film less convincing and more of a unsubtle proselytizing piece aimed at a certain audience - a point, I believe, we have both agreed on.

Perhaps it might have been significant if, among you many confidential correspondents you had 6 atheists objecting to the film? See what you can do.

Once again Muppet ...


I forgive you. Again.

the professor was not a true atheist. He was just some jasper with an anger mismanagement issue.


Oh, OK then, since you insist on this again, here's yet another reminder of your favourite fallacy:

No true Scotsman is an informal logical fallacy, an ad hoc attempt to retain an unreasoned assertion. This fallacy modifies the subject of the assertion to exclude the specific case or others like it by rhetoric, without reference to any specific objective rule. But you have been told this before.

Because insulting people's beliefs and convictions is funny "entertainment"


You've already had explained to you the difference between 'ridiculing for entertainment' and finding someone entertaining, even if someone is actually insulted - which now we learnt they even aren't! (One is an active state, one is passive for instance) And you still haven't told me in light of this whether you consider yourself dull. It really is time to change the record after all this time.

I have no idea what separates you from the average garden variety IMDb troll that's simply here to sling mud and jerk off.


I am, naturally, sorry that you again have no idea.

I'm well aware that railing does no good kurt2000

reply

Still waiting for the proof that God doesn't exist.



What, again lol?

Try this on for size:

To exist is to occupy space and time.
Deity does not occupy space and time.
Therefore, deity does not exist.

or, the aforementioned

Evil was created by God as part of everything (Isiah 45:7).
Evil is not good.
But if God exists, everything He creates is good (Tim 4:4)
If existing evil is not good but part of everything, then evil is not good created by God.
Therefore God, who only creates everything good, does not exist as evil does.

or even these:

God is defined (Anselm) as the greatest thing we could conceive of.
We can conceive of the world.
If we can conceive the world, then we can conceive of something greater, since
something that contains both us and creation would be greater than just us alone.
We cannot conceive of God as the greatest thing since we can conceive of God and his creation.
God cannot be conceived.



If God exists He must be all-knowing (omniscient)
God cannot know things which He doesn't know He doesn't know.
There God is not omniscient.
If something which must be all-knowing cannot be thought of as existing, then we cannot think of God existing.

I hope that helps.

As always you will note that as a soft atheist I admit that my lack of belief in God could be wrong, and that you ask for proof, i.e. not proof the kind of which I might find irrefutable.

How about that?


Because it's a badly written film. Just because the writers didn't do a good job of it doesn't mean the intention isn't to make the professor be an atheist. Seriously kurt, try and watch the film without your blinkers on.

And she's basically a bad actor.


I disagree there. I may not have seen a lot of her films but she's fine in Adventureland and she's very good in Still Alice. She' reasonably poor in the Twilight films, but as far as I'm concerned there's little to praise in them anyway.

If I was a fan of a 15 year old rapper, and I obsessed about her on an IMDb board, what would you honestly conclude.


I'd think you liked a 15 year old rapper, and that you're being characteristically hyperbolic. Point is though Kristen Stewart isn't 15, I've checked and she's 26. so not even close to being 15.

Copy and post where I ever said that large boobage is a virtue of womanhood.


Copy and post where I've said anything that could be remotely considered 'militantly atheist'. And you may as do the same for Film and deviates while you're at it. When you post pictures of large breasted women under the heading of 'this is what a real woman looks like' what do you think will be inferred?

Raquel Welch anyone? Hello?


Given how much work she's clearly had done I think you're be stretching it to call her 'real' in any sense.

Geez cosmo, I think it's easier to list films where she played females over age 18.


Geez kurt, we don't all obsess over Kristen Stewart to know what films she's been in, that's kind of why I asked. As you've listed some: I've checked the age of her character in Twilight and she's 17, in book 1, then gets older. That's not under age, to me, and I understand it isn't in some parts of America too. And 18 certainly isn't under age. I've not seen The Runaways, but if she's good enough for Joan Jett then who cares what an old man thinks about it. And Snow White and the Huntsman doesn't really count as she's clearly not depicted as a young girl. Do they even give her an age in it? Hey, Natalie Portman was superb in Leon, doesn't make on a paedophile for recognising a job well done.

Explain how I'm a bigot. I don't care that you're gay.


Inferring that people are paedophiles for liking a 26 year old woman. That's not just bigoted but really stupid as well. There's the sexisst remarks you've previously made. The criticisms that some women don't look like real women because the don't have curves, or some such nonsense. The Anglophobia. The outright hatred of atheists. And we have the homophobic remarks, which you have definitely made. And you're doing it right there by calling me gay, something I've almost certainly corrected you in the past at least once, in some veiled insult, and don't pretend it's not because there's only one way you know how to talk to atheists.

I was just passing through the Kristen Stewart board


Still trolling on there are you?

I'm telling you, there is a paedophilia attraction that her groupies have for her.


She's 26 you hideous bigot, there's nothing paedophilic about that. Seemingly 17 when cast for the first film, which is only under age in some areas, so I don't agree with that, and over 18 for the rest of the films.

since you didn't want to join the discussion there


Let's imagine for one second that I did. How long do you think it would be before you started going on about how I was following you around, what with your inflated ego? Also, as previously explained, I don't care about Kristen Stewart in particular, it's your attitude towards women that's the problem. There is no 'what a woman should look like', and you're a pig for thinking there is.

Hardly surprising that, since you did not ask for it and, as patiently explained before, a soft atheist like me would not expect to discover any.

I think you will find that most views only exist in the mind. Unless of course you take your ideas out with your teeth each night and keep them in a glass next to your bed.

On the contrary I have established that proofs of a sort can be made out, just as demanded earlier - even if then to you, they can't always be understood. In fact you conveniently fail to engage with two of the ones I gave at all lol.

Why do you keep bringing your Stewart argument to this board, stupid? Can you not find her message board?

I know Miscella has been talking to you about hypocrisy, well this is it right here.

Why do you care what I do? No life of your own?


How is asking you if you're still hypocritically trolling a board something that you think equate to 'caring about what you do'?

Actually this is entirely your problem. You seem to think we're all trying to change your mind, or teach you a lesson, because you still can't wrap your tiny little addled mind around the idea of people talking, or doing something, for little to no reason other than pass a bit of time or find some enjoyment in it.

Nothing you do makes me 'mad' kurt, I think you're projecting again. Though that's not to say that I don't find you to be a slightly disgusting human being at times, what with all the homophobia, sexism, Anglophobia, not forgetting the recent admission that you think fancying a woman in her mid 20s makes someone a paedophile.

Don't you think it's time for you to find a girlfriend


Don't you think it's time you stopped pretending like you have the slightest idea about my life?

Still not using it correctly kurt.

I said she looks like a 12 year old girl. I never said she looked mid-20's


Because you're an out of touch old man who is very clearly a bad judge of what people of a younger age look like. She does not look 12, she looks like she's in her 20s, and why you're so bothered about why it is that some people find her attractive, I'm not one of them by the way, is utterly bizarre.

There are about 8 males on the Stewart board that defend her and worship her. The rest thinks she stinks. You're projecting again cosmo.


This doesn't have a single thing to do with what I said. What exactly do you think I'm projecting here? Do you even understand what's meant by projecting?

Oh dear; I hope you are not now joining the long line of faithists who have personal issues with homosexuality - enough at least to see it as slur and throw it about as such. For that is what is at the back of your 'wuss' and 'sissy' innuendoes, is it not?

Seems like you're suggesting people will turn to God in their most desperate and irrational states. I thought you had a higher opinion of religion than that, Kurt.

Even if what you said were true, and it may well be for some atheists, it says nothing about whether your God is real or not.You sure you're not projecting your obstinance on to others? You seem awfully sure of something you have absolutely no way of knowing.

Actually you judge people of faith on a daily bases, clueless. Even when I put your judgmental comments right up next to the signature, you're still blind, deaf and dumb.

You still have questions on the other GND board to answer, since you have so much time on your hands today.

reply

And once again you show your problem with reading comprehension.

"I've not judged whether anyone is a person of faith or not..." is not the same as "you judge people of faith". I could argue the second statement, but at this point there's no need. You've shown you can't read a simple sentence.

Your 'judgement' comment is called irony, you clueless dope. You've judged people of faith on this board since this film came out in 2014. You've questioned whether I believed in God, you've questioned other people of faith as true Christian, you've questioned every victim that you've attacked on this board and every other pro-Christian film board. You're a militant atheist hack. My initial assessment of you was incorrect. You're no different from Film or cosmo.

You've made zero progress.

You' need to explain what you mean by 'judge', because I've done far less of that than you have of atheists. But it's moot; the quote you keep using has nothing to do with that.

You've questioned whether I believed in God

Nope. Strike 1

you've questioned other people of faith as true Christian

 Er, that you doing that! Strike 2

you've questioned every victim that you've attacked on this board and every other pro-Christian film board

Again, no I haven't. It amuses me how your opinion of my behaviour changes more often than the wind. If I happened to have agreed with you suddenly I'm one of the 'better behaved' atheists, then when I've called you out for being the @ss you are you suddenly get all tetchy and make it out I'm the worst.

No idea what that means either. I made a revised list of Film's skin flicks and the two dirty flicks he attempt to delete. But I copied and pasted his list from yesterday, so he got busted. I have no idea what you're ranting about and neither do you.

deviates is a liar just like cosmo. He's spent three years on this board and other pro-Christians boards judging people and questioning their conviction and faith. Whether you decide to believe anything, who you agree with, or question anyone's comprehension, means nothing to me. You're an idiot to bring any of these topics to this board.

Then perhaps you could explain how a comment made by deviates is relevant as a response to something I've said, accompanied with the word "idiot"?

They simply agreed that militant atheists must have psychological problems to be so butt hurt over a film that has no true atheists, and doesn't even focus on true atheist arguments.

And once again I ask: not even a true Scottish one? And as already noted your claim that there are 'no atheists in this film' fails when remembers the 'fat kid'.

Because insulting people's beliefs and convictions is funny "entertainment"? I've given you and your ilk a taste of your own medicine and you're still clueless. I have no idea what separates you from the average garden variety IMDb troll that's simply here to sling mud and jerk off.


Since you have told me that you are not insulted personally and those who supposedly write to you never air their concerns so that one can read them, this is moot. And as for insulting people standing as fit to be condemned.. have you read you own posts? LOL

I didn't write the laws in the Bible, Film. I know you want to blame me, but the Bible is very clear that if you don't believe in God, you won't be invited into the kingdom of Heaven.

What was it you have told me only recently about 'over thinking'? And also although I did say that, I also noted reasonable caveats - that not every claim is with merit. kurt as we know is notoriously hair-triggered in so far as perceiving insult - even when, as he admits it does not apply to him while those who presumably are effected never say anything in public while kurt then says that he does not speak on their behalf! Go figure.

I never said that I speak on their behalf. I stated on this board what Christians have told me. The point being, they were teaching me their beliefs or sharing their Christian beliefs to me.

Allow me to quote the post I'm linking you too, as I know you don't click on links, particularly when they prove you to be an idiot. The poster in question, one kurt-2000, said: "Feel free to visit the atheist chat boards after wiping your feet on the Bible." I've added the bold to the start of that so that you can't miss it. You're welcome.

Now then, to answer your questions, what I'm "babbling about" and what I'm specifically referencing is the fact that you have, and not for the first time, made mention of 'atheist chat board'. So perhaps you should be asking yourself exactly what it is that YOU are "babbling about".

reply

Whoever would have guessed that once again kurt has decided not to respond to a post that proves him wrong and shows up his idiocy and terrible memory with actual, observable evidence?

I quite literally have no idea what either of those are, though nor do I have any interest in finding out, just in case you have any temptation of linking them. Besides, I'm svelte enough to not need to visit any weight loss websites! However my initial comment was in regard to kurt's seemingly ongoing belief that only Christians should post on a film review board for a pro-Christian film, even if it is a strictly secular website that's open to all. It's also especially odd considering he's resolutely not a Christian, well not this year at least.

Too late.

Has he ever specifically said that? Or does it just seem that way to you? After all, could it be that when he asks why you're here, it's not a rhetorical question?

reply

I understand his confusion. Obviously everyone has a legal right to comment on all IMDb boards. I've typed that obvious observation many times.

But my question for Cosmo, deviates and Film was simple. Why do these very average pro-Christian films bother them so much as to dedicate so much time and energy to slapping down people of faith? I just don't see how religion could be a threat to them personally.

Granted, the extremists are unsettling, but only hypocrites have public office in Washington. Even those people don't live by their sermons.

reply

I've typed that obvious observation many times.


Yet continuously question why those who don't share your views, or those of your preferred, yet rejected, religion. Quite peculiar don't you think?

Well I first posted in response to something you said about the UK general election, which I didn't agree with and from memory wasn't remotely correct. You then persisted in your desire to know whether or not I was an atheist, a point that had no relevance at all over my position at the time and most of everything I've said on here since. We then got into several discussions about things, practically none of which were regarding this film and most of which were threads started by yourself. It would seem that I enjoy talking to you, in spite of your flaws, of which there are a great many. I do not, nor have I ever indicated otherwise that I consider religion a 'threat to me personally'. I do in fact recall stating how I feel religion can be very beneficial to people and societies, a view that you decided must have been an insult, for reasons that only a misguided angry little man might understand. As such I can only assume that you disagree with that point. Last of all, as has been patiently, and not so patiently, explained to you before, anything said to or about you is said to or about you only, and has no bearing on anyone else, Christian, person of faith or other. Kurt please remember one thing you do not represent anyone but yourself, and you do not have permission to speak on behalf of others.

reply

Probably for the same reason as you hang around here arguing their merits and attacking all who don't as 'militant atheists' lol. And on this board at least there are very few people of faith, usually just an angry and confrontational one who is an admitted sinner and not a Christian but who claims to speak on behalf of many.

'Protesting' is putting it a bit strong, isn't it? No,I didn't think much of GND as a film (though I am sure it makes a perfectly good vehicle for proselytizing for some) but those who made it were perfectly entitled to. The only thing to object to is the representation of supposed atheists - and since I remember you telling us that there are no 'real atheists' in the movie, perhaps you wouldn't disagree. But even there it is a work of fiction, so no one is libelled while I am sure there will be some in certain audiences who will think it an accurate picture.

Well he has said, along the lines of if not word perfectly, 'what are you doing on a pro-Christian board' along with stating that he 'doesn't go onto atheist boards'. If that's not an absolutely clear indication of what he quite patently feels should be the case then I don't know what is, unless you're just feeling a bit contradictory.

After all, could it be that when he asks why you're here, it's not a rhetorical question?


A question that he has received an answer too, and not just by myself either. If it's not rhetorical then, as would appear usual, kurt is fully ignoring or flat out forgetting what he's been told. Or it is rhetorical and my original point still stands. Either way, it doesn't reflect too well on kurt does it?

What exactly is your problem with this film,


I will assume that by problem you meant “what’s your view of this film” and my view is that it promotes a distorted image about christian and atheist people and that is commonly called propaganda.

The movie stages a bold and handsome student debating against a mean and extremely arrogant professor. From a logical perspective his arguments are very poor, but this is overshadowd by his gracefull, touching, heart-warming discourse which at its climax turns to the proffesor’s personal reasonal for “hating God” who falls on the trap and admits he hates God. The class uninamously votes against the teacher’s stance, which is an invitation to the film’s audience to do the same. This is why I think the film is propagandistic (which is an opinable fact, not a problem) centered on raising emotions, not fact based. . If you want to see a real life debate involving Catholicism (close but not identical to the movie’s) please hit this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZRcYaAYWg4.

The film audience is further biased towards Christianity when it stereotypes mean and hatefull atheists vs likable Christians: , a a nasty journalist vs a famous rock band, a greedy and neglectfull businessman vs his sister and mother, an abusive muslim father vs his beautifull daughter secretly converted christian

My favourite scene is the journalist storming the christian rock band with haughty questions and all 4 musicians responding with compassionate love and prayer while running late for their performance. That is unfortunately a far cry from real world Christians acting in the real world, including YOU in this discussion thread.



are you a Christian?


Not sure it has any relevance, but I will nonetheless answer your question out of respect: I am neither christian nor atheist. I believe in God, not in Jesus, the Bible is an extremely intelligent book but not infallible. I profoundly agree with christian values but I doubt you are seriously commited to them. I cannot talk for the Methodists, presbies, Baptists, mormons `cos I don`t know them, but I CAN tell that catholics talk the talk but do not walk the walk. Neither do you, as far as this conversation shows.

reply
