I'm going to try your shoes for a while.

I just created an account on VenomfangX's site.

 

http://www.venomfangxsite.com/forums.html?task=viewtopic&id=85

 

 

Now, I will see what it's like to be in your position debating people like these.

 

Wish me luck

 I wish you the best.  You're braver than I.  (Or more foolhardy... I'm not sure...)

Actually, when I think back, I realize I probably needed to cut my teeth in places like that.  It certainly solidified my opinions of the value of religion.

  I'll do more than wish you luck...I'll pray for you !

 

       (  sorry, Cpt, a little atheist humor there )

 

  I popped over there and did a little looking around and although they probably mean well many of their arguments seemed pretty freakin' weak.  I mean even some of the  Christian theists that visit this forum put up a better defense of their religion than what I observed there.

  Unless you run into some "opponents" who have at least some grounding in science and logic I believe your biggest challenge will be in staying awake.        And, seriously, I wish you luck.

 ....he has a

 

....he has a website...?

 

...and people go to it?!

 

 

I don't know what to say. I have no hatred for Venomfangx, but watching his videos is like... I dunno... have you ever seen a guy in trouble with his wife, but he doesn't know he's caught, so he keeps trying to make excuses anyway, completely oblivious that his every word exponentially increases the magnitude of his impending doom? They've always got the same smug attitude, like "Don't sweat it, guys. I got this shit covered." And then when it blows up in their faces and they get the shit slapped out of them, you see them later and they pretend like it was no big thing or that it never happened.

Watching VenomFangX is depressing in the same kind of way. You're just watching in horror. You don't really want to strangle him as much as you want to reach your hand into the computer screen and hold his jaw shut so that it will stop producing words. You find yourself yelling things like, "SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU STUPID FUCKING COCKMASTER!" But you don't mean it in a hateful way. You mean it in the same way you mean it when you're telling your friend to stop arguing with the bouncer, you know? But there's always that friend that just doesn't know when to shut the fuck up, and then they get everybody kicked out of the bar, and then everybody is pissed off, and then HE acts like that's awesome and wants to go to another bar so he can act like a jackass some more, and it just pains you because you WISH THE ASSHOLE KNEW. But he doesn't and apparently can't.

Something like that. Or maybe that's just me.

And I'm kind of joking but kind of not when I say that anyone who CHOOSES to wear one of those ratty teen staches is choosing to wear the mark of unwisdom.

 

 

Do you know who is even more painful to watch, though? The Christian Road Warrior. If it someday surfaced that he was just joking, I would laugh and laugh and love it forever. But watching it and having to know that he is very likely not joking at all is difficult beyond words. Watching VenomFangX makes me wince, but I can make it through the video if I want to. Watching "the christian road warrior" is a true test of endurance. I don't think I've made it through one video, one time, ever.

A place common to all will be maintained by none. A religion common to all is perhaps not much different.

 venomfangx is new to me,

 venomfangx is new to me, so i'm reading over the FAQ. quite amusing to see even a christian who actually still believes the story of Noah and the flood. i keep expecting to see a section on identifying and destroying witches. do these folks have a compound, somewhere?

 Cpt, does your head hurt yet from the superb arguments you have encountered at venomfangx?

Mine sure does after perusing their site for 30 minutes.

It's been a couple days... Have you been driven insane yet? I don't think I could do it. My opinion of the average American is so low already...

 While many of you seem to

 While many of you seem to have spent a whole hour or whatever getting a headache, it took one post by the site's owner to make me realize he's off the deep end:

RidiculousUserName wrote:
Naturalism states that only things that exist within the perceivable laws of nature exist, that is to say things made of energy, matter, time, and space. Naturalism at its core is based on the scientific method; things that can be tested, repeated, and observed are classified as existing, but things that can not be tested, repeated, and observed do not exist.

However, naturalism by definition can not be tested, repeated, or observed. Think about it. If the natural world is all you can perceive, and naturalism states that only the natural world exists, how could you test to see if this was true? 

What kind of child comes up with this kind of nonsense? I'm thinking nothing good could ever escape the cobweb cavern that is this dementoid's braincase.

 Dear RUN, here's a proposed test regarding the aforementioned premise: 

A.)  Walk into a modern kitchen that contains a functioning garbage

       disposal.

B.)  Hold one of your hands in front of your face and examine it closely.

C.)  Insert that same hand fully into the garbage disposal and flip the    

       switch to the "on" position.

D.)  Turn off the garbage disposal and withdraw the same hand and again

       examine it closely.  Do you detect any differences regarding the

       condition of the hand and if so, why ?    

 

  ( If further experimentation is neccessary to obtain confirmation of  

    results, simply repeat the process using the other remaining hand.... ps, welcome to the natural world. )
