If you have positive input, contact me at the email link you see at the bottom of every page.
If you have negative input, you can send it
if you like. However, you should know that I have heard most of it before,
and if you send me rambling emails about the same boring things, I won't
reply because you can find them all touched on here on this site or on
others. Trust me, the arguments you think are brilliant and genius and new
and powerful are probably the same old dull, unoriginal, pointless drivel
Atheists are used to hearing. Following is a list of the most common things
I won't bother responding to, and brief answers to them so I don't have to
even consider typing long answers to useless emails that proclaim anything
like the following:
- "You're evil!" Well, I suppose that's a
matter of perspective. I don't think I'm evil. But if you mean that
following what's in the Bible makes a person good and moral, I should
point out some of the niftier things condoned in the Bible: incest, rape,
murder, vengeance, and so forth. Besides, I think
Lucifer is a pretty cool guy!
- "You need to be saved!"
No, I don't need to, and I don't want to, and you're not the person to try
to do it anyway, and by the way are you aware that Christianity is not the
only religion in the world, and the others all think Xians are wrong?
- "You're going to hell!" There's no
such thing, and if there is, it sounds
like fun.
- "Evolution is wrong and creation is
right. The Earth was created about six thousand
years ago." No it isn't, no it isn't, and no it wasn't. And various
scientific methods for
dating the age of the Earth, fossils, rocks, and so
on really are sound and logical.
- "This country was founded as a Christian
nation." Wrong. It was specifically founded on the principles that
the people would always have a choice of their religion—which means also
freedom from religion. It doesn't matter how many of the founders were
Xian, really.
- "There's plenty of evidence to support
the events in the Bible." No, there isn't. I could go on all day
debunking the Bible, but we'll leave that to other areas on the site.
- "I'm going to kill you." Typically
hypocritical of an Xian.
This isn't to say I won't answer
anti-Atheist, pro-religion emails; just understand that I've heard it all so
much, and continue to hear it, that I simply don't have the time to answer
the same old crap every time someone thinks he's come up with a new sermon
and sends it to me.
But by all means, if you send me new
material that is worth debating, I'll happily do it. But you should know
that I've really heard it all before (even the stuff not listed above) and
it's all silliness to me. You're not going to convert me, you're even going
to come close to making an impression, because attempting to do so to me is
sort of like a child trying to convince an adult that there really is a
Santa Claus, and producing the most ridiculous argument to support his
theory, and firmly believing it.
Am I saying that overzealous religious folks
who argue in the same manner as above are like
gullible, mindless children? No, most children have open minds
(which is why they're so easy to condition to believe religious stuff; come
on, they believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy!).
Overzealous religious folks who argue in the same manner as above do not. |
