As usual, the thread descends further into farce as those deluded ones indulge in more stupidism.  I will utter a yiddish expression of "dismay" ... Oy vey"stupidism" [sic] - are they the principles of your internet trolling that you've distilled into an "-ism"? Which is a minor point next to the utterly grotesque Trumplike perversion of reality of your post. "Descend"? "farce"? and then that neologism? You, Hubris Man? Expertly over-estimating your abilities, and using your powers of haughtiness, arrogance, and self-presumption to overwhelm truth, you presume to compete with KTJ for the title of Donald Trump of the board? Now that is hubris! This'll be good ...

]Didn't know circles had a starting point... If they didn't, how would you ever manage to create one? And theoretically in quantum physics, circles can have corners. ..Well your current capacity certainly leaves you open to the opportunity. Please don't waste it. :thumbup: Magnificent. Ok, I'll give you a challenge, Sporky, seeing you apparently know about Quantum Physics. Find a circle and then stand in the corner of it. Take a photo of you in it pointing at the corner. Maybe this is what I can learn today, how to stand in the corner of a circle. Off you go then.

. I would argue that Atheists are not in a state of "despair", rather, they are realistic about the end of life. I'm not "gloomy" about it. I just accept it. Much as I like the works of Roald Dahl ... the "cute" idea that Charlie (Charlie and the chocolate factory) has more chance because he "wants it more" in reality is nonsense. I "hope" to win the lottery ... but no amount of "hope" will change the odds. "Wanting it more" ... "hoping" there is an afterlife - does not alter the outcome. But again, this "debate" always hits the dead-end of: no-one can prove it or disprove it. Around we go again ... and again ... and again.  ..."Realistic" about the end of life, hubris man? You seem to be overly critical about my conclusions, while yours, and your ilk are wrought with their own set of presumptions. Yet it's alleged that I'm the only one arguing in circles. Might I also suggest that asserting there is no afterlife does not alter the outcome either... . So we are at an impasse, and we can agree that slartibartfast originated this assertion based on a statement he could never hope to prove.

I don't see you responding to this, Sporky, hence the copy. Very well, I'll bite: What hope do you possess beyond the grave? Despair, is the absence of hope. *Incidently, Christians don't worry about Hell, either. Hell is separation from God; people decide that willfully. It's not punishment; it's consequence. No Atheist "hopes" for an afterlife. Clearly you have no concept of what Atheism is. As for 'hell', only Christians believe it exists.

Look, meat heads... '........When you mature from schoolyard antics, perhaps I'll indulge you then. The person calling others 'meat heads' tells the same others to mature from schoolyard antics - in the same post! Now that is just pure gold!

Your misrepresentations don't invalidate my statement at all. What misrepresentation?. You clearly said HOPE ! The 's' is immaterial. My sentence could just as easily have been "No Atheist has HOPE for an afterlife" and it would not change the message. Do you need English lessons as well as interpretation lessons?

Did I say 'hopes'? No, I said 'asserted' Your misrepresentations don't invalidate my statement at all. The opposite of "hope" is "despair" you asserted Atheists "despair" ... you stupid person.  His statement still doesn't invalidate mine since we are asserting the exact same thing. Absence of hope for the Atheist. ...Next argument?

Christians are NOT the only ones who believe in an afterlife. Pardon me, your ignorance is showing, mister. Now he's making even more things up! Please show all of us where I stated that Christians are the only ones who believe in an afterlife. Islam, Hindi and many other religions share the same forlorn hope. I have never stated that Christianity is the only stupid religion, there are many !

Slartibartfast just killed his own argument. We agree in absence of hope for an afterlife for the Atheism. As per the definition of 'despair' in the dictionary
Now take your fail and go, this discussion is over.

You are the one that tells Atheists what they feel and I can guarantee you, sunshine, that we don't feel despair! We don't HOPE for Life after death - you do! Now go stand in the corner of a circle like someone who pretends to win an argument when he isn't even on the same page!

This is why you are impossible to argue with, you just make things up to suit your agenda., You tell us that Atheists despair at the fact that there is no afterlife. This is clear bullshit! We don't "hope' for an afterlife, so there is ZERO despair that there isn't one. How can you despair about something that doesn't exist?
Now I have to go to bed as some of us work for a living.

Actually, I didn't mention that Atheists despair the non-existence of afterlife, I merely said they despair.
Will your atheist friends and family will not despair your loss, assuming they will never see you again? For the Theist, that separation is only temporal.
You do not despair for the end of your life? A theists hope is that they continue living...etc

I want to wake to the knowledge that you can take a photo of yourself standing in the corner of a circle. You wouldn't want to look like a complete dunce, would you? Well, would you?  Just because a corner in a circle can't be perceived doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Graphic circles have corners. Everything appearing on your computer or phone has corners, you just can't see them. To prove my assertion all I'd need to do to fill that requirement would be to stand at the edge of the circle... any edge, actually. But..Earl has already asserted that actual circles exist in concept only, ergo... I suppose you'll just have to imagine me in one. :rolleyes:
