Atheist Delusion

You are deflecting again.
The point is that you are not open to anything you consider to be implausible but you expect FMF to be open to something he feels is implausible.

Obviously claiming ignorance is the easy way out, that way you don't have to commit to anything.

I don't see how committing to an incorrect conclusion is beneficial. Could you please explain how that would work?

Of course, with humility and recognising that the other person's POV is equally valid to them. Evidentially you are completely lacking in this, if you like, intellectual empathy.

Let me see. You mean the 'humility' and 'intellectual empathy' that you possess, that leads you to say that someone 'very well may be mentally disturbed'?

Ah, another change of tack, another chance to troll.

Do you think josephw was mistaken to suggest that atheists are mentally disturbed? You seem to bristle when such a diagnosis is aimed at you.

And the irony is that you don't notice the hypocrisy of someone who speaks about humility and intellectual empathy minutes after saying I may very well be mentally disturbed.

What is your view on josephw saying that people with different beliefs from his are mentally disturbed? If you have taken issue with him, on which page of this thread will I find it?

Jospehw has never spoken about humility and intellectual empathy now has he? If he does, I shall address his hypocrisy.

He's called many members of this community mentally disturbed though, on this thread too. Have you tackled him on it?

I think divegeester is being brutally honest with you when he raises a question mark over your state of mind and behaviour.

This may well be Dodge Of The Week by the way.

Ah yes, but there is no way that josephw is being brutally honest is that correct? The geester is flourishing under your tutelage.

Perhaps josephw is being brutally honest, yes. Of course.

In that case why then would you have me challenge his brutal honesty?

Because you have challenged divegeester.
