[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are usually so angry and miserable they want YOU to be too. They want to feel right about the topic and they want YOU to feel wrong for your beliefs. From what I've witnessed on this board they're generally an angry miserable bunch. I think while they don't know it or even realize it they might be driven by the devil to pull people away from God. They might be being used.

Think about this: when on these boards have you seen believers trying to covert atheists into believing in God? When have you seen them pushed, shamed and antagonized for not believing in God? Never. Why is that? Does that seem strange to you? It's one way. Ask yourself why is it one way? Food for thought.[/quote]

+1M Atheists are indeed very angry and combative to try and "prove" the religious people wrong on here. Things that make you go hmmmm. [/quote]

You can take as many personal shots as you like.  I don't think any atheists here are angry, except maybe about one thing:

How you believers often won't answer simple questions.

I am not saying your beliefs are wrong.  I am asking how you justify them since there seems to be no significant evidence for them.  If you take that as "trying" to "prove you wrong", well, that's your issue.  This is a discussion forum, after all, and if you're not prepared to discuss things, maybe you should not participate in discussion?

I would encourage you to grow up and if you are going to engage be prepared to explain your religious beliefs the same way you might with someone who disagreed with you on any other topic on DCUM.  Gardening, colleges, investing, health, and yes, politics.[/quote]

Okay[b].  How would you talk about college with someone who didn’t believe that a college education existed?  [/b]

Someone who thinks that people pay a lot of money and go to college for four years in order to maintain some kind of social standing and to be accepted into their families who might otherwise shun them, or at least be very disappointed and bring it up frequently.  That the families are upset not because they care about their family member and believe they would benefit from a college education, but because they have been brainwashed into thinking a college education is real.

However, this person tells you, there isn’t actually anything that is real or valuable happening at colleges or universities.  Their main function is in brainwashing the people who attend into thinking they have some kind of value, and anyone with any kind of critical thinking skills could see that higher education is a sham.

How would you respond to these people?  And what if every thread on the college board was overrun by them?

Show them a degree.  Solid proof of a college education.  Show them job postings requiring that education.

Also, every thread in this forum isn't over run by athiests.  That's a big stretch.[/quote]

I can show you a baptismal certificate and church registration.  That doesn’t make you believe in God.  
In the same way, a college degree isn’t proof of an education.  [/quote]

A college degree is at least proof that you passed enough courses to qualify for a degree.  But a baptismal certificate and church registration don't make you a believer - they are only  proof  that you've been baptized and have joined a church.[/quote]
