So in class today, me and my mates are all having our own discussion.
One of them brought up church, and asked me if I go to church; My response was intended to be "I don't believe in a god, but I respect that you do." I wasn't able to finish the "respect your belief" part of my response because the instance I started speaking, this bitch that sits in front of my table, feels the need to cut me off and and insult me about my view and belief because she's a Dilusional theist who claims she knows a god to exist, and that I am what "the lord calls a fool".
Now, I'm agnostic; I acknowledge that I don't know if a god does or does not exist, nor am I insulting anyone elses belief; But I just can't deal with theists who take on people as one of 2 categories: "Yes, god exists and we know it", or "We don't know if he exists or not" "Then you're going to hell."

lol, my main problem there is I said "There's no definite proof god does or does not exist."
And she responds "I "know" god exists!"
It was probably one of the most pretentious and indenial things I have ever heard.

Did you destroy her arguments with clever and informative rebuttals and get her to call you names and storm off in a fit of confusion and anger?

I was beginning to, refering to open minded awareness of others beliefs and general information, but by that time we were the only 2 in class speaking; I was talking, she was yelling.
It grew akward when the whole class stared at us, and the teacher finally broke it up.
One thing I know for sure; as long as she remains on that roster, that class will never be enjoyable again.

That's actually not true at all, some of the smartest people I know are religious (Smartest dude I ever met was a muslim).
Their arguments against religion are just rooted in fact and modern science, so they seem more appealing than arguments based on faith in texts and history long since past.

EDIT: lol i cant read worth shit today

Xero, lol that's still pretty damn awesome. You definitely got her mad it sounds like.

She'll learn subscribing to a religion isn't what makes you a good person, eventually. But these types of people exist everywhere in life, just looking for someone to look down on, its best to just smile politely and repeatedly say 'good for you'.

Religious people don't have any real arguments to make, so they have to use logical fallacies to fake it. There are a lot of commonly used arguments for a creator, and I'v heard tons of them.
Most commonly you get the argument from ignorance. Sometimes the cosmological argument or the watchmaker argument, but most of the time religious people don't really have to defend their beliefs, so they often know less about them than the skeptics who challenge them. This also makes a discussion with a moderate christian who doesn't know much about their own beliefs very repetitive and predictable.

And what a bitch. Would have debated her under the table for acting like that.

*Atheism until empirical evidence proves that a god exists.*

Fix'd.

Doesn't sound like a problem at all.

Quote from Leokill
Knowing is believing on the basis of good evidence. Faith is believing something without evidence, therefore, I wouldn't say that a belief based entirely on faith would qualify as something that you "know".


Personal experience doesn't count as evidence, because evidence is something that can be demonstrated to others. Otherwise, it's completely meaningless. Her statement was moot.

Indeed.
She takes her fallacies from a thousand year old contradicting parchment filled with tonal amendments.
It was so easy to bring her point down, but it was difficult to get her to shut up in order to make my point.

Yeah I would have, but I had my morals.
