The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Is "Evil" Irrational

Is "Evil" Irrational...

Ok folks, ere' ve go! ere' ve go!

Informal debate, lets try to not move off on to many tangents (not that i'd care if it was a cool tangent )

Mohammed supports the claim that "Evil" is irrational, why me and Sinphanius hold to the claim that "Evil" is rational

any one out there in the audience is welcome to pick a side and join the fray! but every-one else is kindly asked to stay behind the redcoated "Blood Spray" line, for you own safety.

Since Mohammed made the claim (and brought it to light... so to speak ) we'll let him (or anyone who supports that claim ) go first, and subsequently take this discussion where-ever they feel like (+10 points for involving boobs in some way or form... irregardless of the fact that we dont have a points system )

So, Mohammed, and supporters of "Evil is Irrational"... da floor is yours!

Just a humble request... could you guys please quote only the most relevant sentence or two to which you are responding? It's annoying to have to scroll down through all those concentric squares when the whole argument can be followed quite easily just by knowing towards whom a response is directed, and by seeing one or two sentences excerpted from the relevant post.
~sigh~
I think it's 'evil' for them to do it. lol.
Do what?
You know. That thing where people hijack a thread by quoting.

... Looks like we're staying on topic, to me
Oh. Wait, can you run it by me again?
You know. Like when there are two subjects in a thread and everybody is waiting for someone to correlate them. Descriptive noun and object noun vs. object noun and object noun. 'Evil' behavior vs. irrational behavior and 'Evil' vs. irrational.
Some people might construe keeping the quote line going as irrational, but could we say it is 'evil'. And vise versa too. Is it 'evil' because it is viewed as irrational?
Bah, i thought we're just doing it because it annoyed Hamby...
...wait, wouldnt that make it "Good"? o_O

Well, I guess that's the point isn't it? Evil as a noun is subjective and as an adjective it is descriptive. Irrational only functions as an adjective.
