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.

Taking it to them

As I found myself frequently disgruntled by almost always being too late to respond to theists here, with anything more than "You got destroyed by DeludedGod and you didn't even get a lousy T-shirt" I decided to venture to pastures greener, where I could have some to myself!

What I found was a Catholic Apologetics forum!

I get the impression that they have very quickly given up on me for some reason. To be fair to them, they have been quite friendly to me, despite some indication of surprise that I am not out murdering and stealing when there is nothing apparently holding me back.

As far as these sort of things go, this is a pretty short thread, but please feel free to view it, call me out on my crap arguments, tell me what I need to learn more of, and let me know what points of theirs I should have called out a bit more:

As for me, my favourite bit was this:

theist: "So why do you exist? Would you like to know? If you were told the answer would you believe it?"

me: Sure, if you can back it up and not just assert something

theist: "I do not think there is much likelyhood that I can be of assistance to you in your search. Best wishes."

Just read the thread up to grandfather's last post.

I think you handled yourself fantasicly and effectively. I have an extremly low tolerance for theist who use extremly vague words (soul, spirit, etc.) and definitions as though they have said something wise. I could not have kept the same composure. Awsome job.

Hey, do you have the "caring continuum diagram?" Sounds fun. "Could care less" drives me crazy too.

I'm convinced that they actually say that to drive atheists crazy.

Another thing you could ask,

Another thing you could ask, since they're catholic and all, is why Notre Dame sucks so bad this year if god exists and is on their side. Should they not be undefeated every year with their holy rays?
