Atheists & Agnostics
In reply to the discussion: I have never felt akin to Atheists nor believers [View all]Dark n Stormy Knight
(10,389 posts)says something like, "The amazing intricacy and beauty of the passion flower proves the existence of God!"
So something amazing in nature must have had a creator. Yet that's not true of an entity even more amazing? Logic fails.
(And I always marvel at the clever trick religion pulled off: Not only do" the faithful" not have to use logic around this one particular subject, you are a monster if you ask them to. " How dare you question my faith!" )
It's just so illogical, but the believer I'm debating can never admit that I have a valid argument, even though they have no valid rebuttal. Sometimes their reaction reminds me of a cartoonish robot flailing around and repeating, "It does not compute, it does not compute..."
For those familiar with very old TV programs, remember this quote?
"Danger Will Robinson!"
I think that's the robot I imagine in the above scenario.
