That wasn’t me. And that’s not name calling. |
There’s the name calling. You aren’t reading about Dawkins on the guardian or NYT. Total BS. |
Wut? The Guardian loves Dawkins. |
It's up there with "I'm sorry you're angry." Passive-aggressive nastiness. |
So to recap, the only name calling was from believers calling others trolls and bullies? |
Last article was 3 years ago… |
And that was just them calling him out for being a bigot. |
That’s not what pp said. At all. No distortions, please. |
What exactly is your point? OP posted a few-days-old article quoting Dawkins. We’re discussing that. |
Good Lord. This thread is about whether DCUM’s atheists are correct to assert that most people attend religious services “for the community.” And the very first OP links to a Pew survey that shows that’s massively false. If you want to discuss coverage of Dawkins, that’s the other thread. And the only relevant coverage for that thread is the article OP linked to, about Dawkins’ relationship to cultural Christianity. Your obsessive interest in where people read about Dawkins is both boring and irrelevant to both these threads. Focus, people. This thread is about DCUM’s atheists constantly asserting that people only go to church for the socializing. Pew says no, was it 80% say they go to be closer to God. Care to comment on the thread topic? |
Again, the only “name calling” was from believers calling others trolls and bullies. Seems like some of these accusations are confessions. |
I’m just curious why religious people obsess over him and I haven’t received a legit answer yet. Just some BS. I’m also curious why you have misrepresented the comment from the other thread. Here was the quote: “ I bet that the immense majority of people in the world are CULTURALLY affiliated with their religion, but don't actually think deeply about whether they truly believe or not.” Nothing about why people go to church. Interesting how people “of faith” can’t have a good faith discussion. Just lots of misrepresentation and projection. |
Anybody can read the atheists calling others liars, accusing them of paraphrasing or whatever the heck that atheist was going on about, passive-aggressive calling believers upset, derailing the thread with OT nonsense, and more. To get back to the thread topic: OP won and you lost. The vast majority go to religious services to be closer to God, not to socialize as atheists here are constantly claiming. The rest is irrelevant. |
Because I find it odd the religious people are obsessing over what this random dude says. |
STRAWMAN. THE COMMENT DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT WHY PEOPLE GO TO SERVICES. |
