Atheists are christians

[Jonesboy]

Atheists are christians because both believe that forms are given to us. For christians, forms are given magically. For atheists forms are there all along - just like magic..

You'll have to explain yourself. What do you mean by 'forms'? Also, how does it follow that because X believes they get something one way, and Y believes they get something another way, X actually is Y? Atheists don't believe we're given anything by magic. We don't, in fact, believe that anyone IS 'giving us' "forms" or anything else.

Edit: I see the last time you posted was November, and I joined well after that, so a warm hello to you!

The only one who's ever given me forms was the Government, and I definitely don't think they're magic.

I'm a Big Rabbitarian and I take much offence at anyone suggesting otherwise.
Why does the moon and planets have big holes in them?  Big Rabbit.
Why do comets have tails?  Big Rabbit.
Big Rabbit explains all, Christians got nothen.

people are people because they cast incongruous blabber throughout history

If you need to label modern western morality, then quasi-stoic is a befitting term, the appropriate modus operandi the paulists adopted since they could not negate it and replace it with the limited appeal of exogenous oppressor judotribalism.

A gene's "afterlife" is not a belief. it is extractable in a test tube from a long dead corpse as physical matter encoding from protein to an organism.

is the image of visual perception in the visual cortex "given" to "us" ?

How insecure and pathetic must we be to desperately assign overseeing agent and sovereign recipient in one stroke?

 Nice to see you back, Jonesboy. I see you've created your own idiosyncratic definitions of both Christianity and atheism. Well done. I do wonder whether they have any real utility, however.

For christians, forms are given magically. For atheists forms are there all along - just like magic..

The first sentence may have some truth value, but I think that as it stands, the second needs to be elaborated upon. Are you up to that?

That statement is so nonsensical I don't know of a way to shoot it down without sounding like a condecending ass...

Huh.  I learn something new about myself every day.  My parents will be so pleased.

Isn't this a textbook syllogism? Such as:

You post in this forum.
Therefore you are mentally disturbed.

Wait, you mean that isn't true?

The first sentence is certainly true.

Well, if you're going to say everything's caused by magic, there really isn't anyway to argue against that.

Penn & Teller may dispute that

+1!

I love Penn & Teller's Bullshit. I've heard from friends that Teller is apparently very kind and very funny when you meet him in person, too. Bonus! A good friend's mom got several pictures of the two of them together, goofing off and stuff, when she went to a show in Vegas.
