More excuses.

Just do the work.

I don’t need to hear your moralizing complaining. All I see is a man evading learning the truth by every emotional device he can think of.

It’s not a good look. And you should not be proud of it.

I understand your drive to an extent. But why belittle people? Did your parents ever teach you decency? You’re still acting like you have a confirmed answer? Forgive me for analyzing your language, but the phrase “What you’re told to learn” is kind of insane. Sounds a little bit Fascist. Like there is one viewpoint, one way of analyzing what is true vs false. You cannot prove or disprove the unobservable.

I observe what you do and don’t do right here.

And you still aren’t doing what I told you. You are making excuses not to.

That’s the story of you.

Someday maybe you will admit that. And then actually learn what you were told to learn, and discuss it, and thereby understand it.

I hope you will.

But I have decades of experience and rarely does anyone who acts like you do actually do that. But rarely is still sometimes. So one can hope.

There is no way you would be able to verify what I do or don’t do. You don’t know me personally and you’re coming to conclusions based on the inferences of my words. You have yet to present one “fact” to me during our entire exchange.

I judge a man by what he does, not what he says.

But saying “let’s agree to disagree” is not “I will look into that and get back to you.” So even what you say is dubious. Lying about what you will do is, again, just another excuse not to do it.

The only way to actually do it is to actually do it. Not complain about why you aren’t or it won’t do any good. Hundreds of words of complaining is not researching the facts you were called out for not knowing. It’s avoiding researching the facts you were called out for not knowing.

Not like I said more than three times I would look at stuff. Crazy.

Which is the most typical irrational excuse to not check facts ever uttered in the entire history of the human race.

More excuses not to check the facts you were directed to.

Did I or did I not say in an earlier comment that I was an open-minded individual and that I would look into the work you suggested. You then went on to say that I was “behind” and that “I need to catchup”. The works you suggested are opinion pieces based on evidence, in the same way that any Christian or religious author is an opinion piece based on evidence. If you or the works you suggested truly had the answer to whether God exists or not. Then the debate itself wouldn’t exist. Because you would have the answer. If you truly had the undeniable, clear and concise proof or answer that God is not real you would be taking the world by storm. Not complicating it to point of word pie and jargon. To your point of me quoting things that you didn’t say. Of course you didn’t say it word for word. But if someone says “emotionally triggering” three or four times. One might infer that you think emotions are invalid or negative. That’s just normal human behavior. You also say that I have a false belief, you have to faith to be atheist. You have to faith in the scientific process to be an Atheist. The last time I checked. I live in a free society in which I can believe in anything I want.
