The simplest way to expose a leftist is to let him speak without interruptions.

God really be communicating through vague gut feelings, cryptic fever dreams, and suffering. And this fucker expects me too treat him like he's axiomaticaly good?

That surely will never backfire... ever.

i'm never sure if it's worth bothering posting the malnourished, wizened ones, so i included a snippet of him from a few years ago. my prayers that he will continue to grow are as yet unanswered, checkmate theists

[anamericangirl]

Pretty sure skepticalpigeon is the same person as fuckyeahreligionpigeon, an atheist snark blog that amounts to “This is my so-called mind: checkmate, theists!”

You are probably right that makes a lot of sense. So many of these people have several blogs where they just blog about all the same stuff it’s hard to keep up with lol

What happens when we die ??? Checkmate atheists !!

@bean-cakes

Don't you know ? If nobody burn you, you rot. Or get mummified. Stuff like that. It's common knowledge?

"but that's just my body !! What happens to me!!" You Are Your Body. There Is Nothing Else. Your thoughts are a bunch of electric signals in your brain. When you die, the signals stop. That's it. There is nothing else, there isn't any reason to think there is anything else. You might as well asks "where do my heartbeats go when I die" they go nowhere they just don't exist anymore. "Why am I conscious" because being who were conscious had more kids who had more kids so the ability to think complex thoughts and think of yourself as a person or whatever passed down. Same reason as why you have ten fingers. You do understand the theory of evolution right ? You see how the ability to think complex thoughts might be an advantage to stay alive ?

The universe is big and long, things that can happen happens and if nothing stop them they keep happening. We are alive because we are not dead yet. It's all very simple theists just love to overcomplicate things.

If you're gonna act smug about your biblical knowledge, SAL, at least make sure you're better versed therein than Katharine Jefferts Schori.

Quite hypocritical to be knocking on the gay/lesbian lifestyle while you are having premarital sex. Literally same sin, you are partaking in your fleshy desires for temporary satisfaction instead of doing it God's way.

CHECKMATE THEISTS!

 Let’s imagine a thought-provoking game of “Debate Chess” where atheist and theist arguments replace traditional chess pieces. Here’s how it might work:

Board Setup:

The board is the same as a regular chessboard.

Instead of knights, bishops, and rooks, we have Atheist Argument Cards (white) and Theist Argument Cards (black).

Piece Movement:

Each turn, a player selects an argument card and places it on the board.

The argument cards represent various philosophical, scientific, or theological viewpoints.

The direction of movement depends on the type of argument:

Atheist Arguments (white) move toward the center of the board, symbolizing rational inquiry.

Theist Arguments (black) move outward, representing faith and belief.

Debate Clock:

Before placing an argument card, players engage in a timed debate.

The clock is set for a fixed duration (e.g., 5 minutes).

During the debate, players present their case, counterarguments, and respond to opponent’s points.

Winning a Square:

When the debate time expires, the player with the more compelling argument wins the square.

If both arguments are equally strong, the square remains contested.

Capturing an opponent’s argument card removes it from play.

Objective:

The goal is to control the board by occupying squares with stronger arguments.

A player wins when they reach the opponent’s back rank (like checkmate).

Promotion:

When an argument card reaches the opponent’s back rank, it can be promoted to a more potent argument (e.g., from “Cosmological Argument” to “Fine-Tuning Argument”).

Strategy:

Players must balance reason, evidence, and rhetoric.

Sacrificing weaker arguments to gain positional advantage is crucial.

Remember, in Debate Chess, victory isn’t solely about capturing pieces; it’s about persuading your opponent with compelling arguments.
