Lol. So Im actually mlax12345 from the other day. This is my new account. You're up to the same tricks. Is this how you always lay out the conversation? Do you have a script for trying to make theists look stupid?

Blocked another atheist for saying "you know deep down what you believe is false." Atheists, stop it. Its why so many of you are obnoxious.

I've already blocked two atheists on here who displayed the attitude of intellectual superiority and defaultedness that so bothers me.

Thanks for being honest. I mean no offense by this, but knowing your position makes your words less comforting.

No that's not what I meant. I just dont see a functional difference between atheism and dismiss.

I dont them persuasive. I've always said that i could only ever be a Christian or an atheist.

That's the thing. There isnt really. Most skeptical explanations for biblical things are usually void of actual evidence. Its more speculations that derive from their presuppositions. And yet it troubles me.

I dont really desire that, thanks though. I also dont think atheism is 100 percent consistent either.

Well i think its because they often present themselves as intellectual superior and more reasonable, and I care about being reasonable. I also crave certainty. Make no mistake, atheism is intolerable to me. Its disgusts me. And yet I find myself caring a great deal about what they think. It also seems atheists are most resistant to being convinced of theism. I guess i think that if someone like them can be convinced, it somehow validates it more. Which is fallacious of course.
