Believers,

If you do not agree with the two statements shown in the graphic on the OP, exactly what is it about them that you see as false?

[_MrStakhanovite]

As a non-believer, I don’t get why faith has to be explained in such unflattering terms. Even if that is what faith was to you, that is still not how many (if not most) believers would characterize it.

Hey BC (To be super clear- BC is for beefcalf and not that other one) :)

Ceeboo,

We atheists would love to have you join us in celebrating and embracing rationality.

I appreciate the invitation but I am afraid that I am far too gone from rational thought to be worthy of membership in your group. (Perhaps I can visit every now and then though)

You'd fit right in!

Round peg, sqaure hole! :)

You would, of course, be asked to leave unsupported and unsupportable assertions at the door, but, heck! you might be better off without them.

Assertions?

Do tell?

Peace,

Ahh... yes. Well, don't worry so much about that clause... it isn't aimed at you specifically. It is simply the one thing that defines our maligned little group. I make no judgement about whether you are prone to the spouting of unsupported/unsupportable assertions... it's simply that, once inside, any that are spouted will be quickly dealt with.
Rules of the house, you see...

This is not a limited-time-offer. At any future time you wish to join us, the door will be open.

Hey again, BC

Ahh... yes. Well, don't worry so much about that clause... it isn't aimed at you specifically.

Are you sure you're not a believer? :)

It is simply the one thing that defines our maligned little group.

I know.

I make no judgement about whether you are prone to the spouting of unsupported/unsupportable assertions...

Beliefs are beliefs (No matter if one believes in a Creator or one does not believe in a Creator. They are both equally and simply beliefs. Yes?)

it's simply that, once inside, any that are spouted will be quickly dealt with.

Fair enough!

Rules of the house, you see...

I do see.

This is not a limited-time-offer. At any future time you wish to join us, the door will be open.

Appreciated.

Please know that the door is open for you as well, should you ever wish to join us. :)

(Who said it was impossible for a believer and a non-believer to have a mutual rewarding conversation) :) :) :)

Not me. :-)

Not me. :-)

Conversion almost complete! (My guess is 6-7 more exchanges) :)

BTW- Love your car!
