Why the Rants?


I've noticed that some Christians are more into blustering rather than giving a good argument. No, not that I'm expecting them to give a good one, but? Ok. So these Christians think that non-believers enjoy mocking them. It's nothing personal. Sometimes, a good discussion becomes unruly if there's nothing to discuss in the first place. Christians always use same arguments- how many times such arguments have been deflated but do these Christians really read or study those counter-arguments? I don't think so.

There's a big difference between proselytizing and looking for the truth. In proselytizing, there's really no reason to look for facts, new discoveries, or to know the truth. It's just about trying to convince someone to believe what you believed. It has nothing to do whatsoever with an intellectual discourse.

Arguing about faith is a futile activity. Religious faith, as we all know has no evidence to present. It is a conviction, a personal belief unbaked by proof. It cannot be falsified. That's why Christians are always saying the same rant. They don't change. They don't upgrade - it is the same thing, over, and over, and over since what? AD 325? 

The real world is all about reason, facts, evidences and these things change over time. New findings are discover, analyzed. It is so big that there are a lot of things out there still waiting to be explored, unlike the fantastic yet small, insignificant world of the theistic god… A miserable, static universe where everything just goes round, and round and round like a broken down Merry-Go-Round.
