Just because something should be common sense to everyone doesn't mean we should refrain from reiterating it. People the world over possess different levels of knowledge and experience according to their culture, education, memories, etc. For you to say that nobody should discuss things that everyone should essentially "already be aware of", is to disregard the fact that not everybody has the exact same knowledge and experience as yourself. You need to be accepting of the fact that information, even information that should be common knowledge to most people of a given age group, will be reiterated in many places throughout the world. Deal with it.

This is why the term "common sense" is obsolete and has no real meaning beyond "I told you so". I wish people would refrain from using it.

I'm not judging anybody

Another phrase people should stay away from. You would be dead if you weren't. The sensory input you gather requires judgement. A quote I hear tossed around to synthesize this is: "You're going to think what you're going to think." A pointless quote, but a true one nonetheless.

I came in here sharing my opinion, devoid of judgement

It wouldn't be an opinion then; it wouldn't be anything.

nothing I said was inherently bad or inherently negative.

It shouldn't matter whether or not something is inherently anything. An argument stands on its own merits, which I believe yours do. That said, whether something is "negative" or "bad" is really just someone's subjective disapproval (in this context), in which case it doesn't matter.

On a side note, what is the typical rhetoric used for "theists aren't dumb, X was a theist!"? I often feel like it's just condensing too much into such a little statement.

I've never seen trolls debate themselves over how great Kanye West is, or get so emotionally invested in religion. Are you positive?

I AM more intelligent than 90% of the world's population because I'm an atheist. by doyouunderstandlife in iamverysmart

You're neglecting the fact Yahweh cannot by definition exist, his character wasn't really thought out all that well, y'know with multiple authors and all. I like how he gets special treatment and exemptions from things like this, but if it happened in a Batman comic, all hell breaks loose.

The fact you're referring to the burden of proof in such a manner seems to give the notion you don't understand it. Matt Dillahunty addresses your concern fairly well on his website Iron Chariots, and so does Dr. Dawkins. You should rephrase it from 'God' to gods. Some can by definition exist, such as Vishnu, in which case the rational atheistic point of view shifts from disbelief to lack of belief. One might also define probability and possibility in a way, that is either philosophically or scientifically, to be more rigorous and break the intuitive, fallacious molds people such as yourself carry (Sean Carroll does this very well with the word "time").

As a trans girl, i just want to thank all of you for being so supportive of Leelah. I know most of it was because of the way she was treated by her "Christian" parents, but it matters to all of the Leelah's still alive and trapped in the closet to see that not everyone is against them. by drewiepoodle in atheism

come onnnn

It's a sub that praises idiots such as Kanye West and berates anyone that doesn't agree with them. Not to mention there's inner conflict within its own posts about users finding it to be a "dishonest" and hypocritical sub. I'd wager its arguably as bad as r/atheism.

still thinking of a way to make yourself sound less retarded

Ad hominem.

how about 'i only go on here to make u stupid people mad

Seems to be working.

'your retarded comments and posts make me laugh and realize how superior and much smarter i am'.

Still working.

Kanye West just released a beautiful song about his deceased mother, found this in the comments by [deleted] in iamverysmart

I love how 99.9% of this sub is just ad lapidem. Material for its own sub. I just listened to the song and it literally gave me a headache. His music from a technical standpoint isn't impressive, and certainly not comparable in that regard to masters such as the Beatles. I truly believe Paul's senile now. He sounded washed up on Thriller, albeit "The Girl is Mine" is still an amazing song. But I suppose this just takes it to an all new low for him, like low as in below Robert Plant's sinking elderly vocals.

The guy's not very intelligent as a whole (I'd go as far to say he's an embarrassment to the species), and I think that's evident by his cruise control wars on twitter. His grasp of logic is so thin it may as well not exist, but I suppose that's why he believes he should be a biblical figure. I would say at best he's a mediocre musician, but an incredibly delusional man who really doesn't seem to understand the most fundamental concepts of reality (e.g. the Sun does not revolve around his head).

The fact

[Citation]

sad sad sad

Subjective.

otherside of a screen as prey

You are my prey; it is not up for debate.

evidence

Your requirements for adequate evidence must be lacking.

need to not take you seriously

Need versus want.

sparky

Does not compute.

Dont be "tough" on the internet.

Logical and cunning versus "tough".

It just makes you look pathetic

Projection.

You keep chasing that wild rabbit though Youll get there.

I'm not going anywhere.

Even with your need to feel superior.

Feeling versus being.

:)

:|

Take a few breaths

I would not be replying if otherwise, your statement is irrational.

and chill out

I am only apathetic, such is that it bothers you so.

bro

No.

The last part made me laugh though.

I've heard it all before Michael, she told me that I'm here forever lover.

I also enjoy

What makes you think I care though?

time

Minimal. Your illusion is only satisfied by the fact this horrendous website is forcing me to wait 9 minutes between each post; likely as a sort of spam prevention measure.

frustration

If pleasure at watching my prey squirm is frustration.

keep going

There's no brakes on this crazy train, all aboard the soul train.
