I'm not here to educate you, if you don't get it you don't get it.

Even though I'm an atheist I always find it odd when I see people arguing about religion being about controlling people. Still killing and raping going on, they just must be really really bad at it.

I think organized religion is about controlling people.

Control to what end? You may as well say that Children's story books are about controlling people, like oh wow!

No no. I get what your saying. But he never said that. You said he did. You made the claim, back it up.
I can read in between the lines too. You just said "I cannot possibly defend my statement so I will just pretend you are the one who made the error". Oh what you didn't say that? See how easy it is to put words in peoples mouths? Defend you statement or admit you're wrong. Trying to dismiss a valid argument on the grounds of a privileged understanding is useless unless you can explain how it is you came to that understanding. You might as well say "Cause I said so".

You missed the bigger meaning of his words, try again.

Dude, you're reading things into a post that were never said. Tym pointed that out and now you are arguing for argument's sake.
A poster made a comment about religion being used for control and pointed to the correlation between lower intelligence and religion. You came in and said that the studies didn't make that conclusion. When asked what conclusion that would be, you responded about the validity of religion. Well, no one claimed that was the conclusion of the study. I believe the rhetorical question had more to do with the idea that keeping people ignorant is one way to control them. Possibly he meant that people with lower intelligence are more credulous. I don't know but Tym pointed out that no one claimed anything pointed to whether to not religious belief is valid. He called you out on it, asked you to explain your logic, and now just being a dick by refusing to accommodate the request.

No, you projected meaning into something that wasn't there. Make all the claims you want, until you actually point out what the hell it is you are talking about, and how that necessarily means what you think it means, you have nothing. The "Bigger meaning" is non existent. You've spent more time telling me I missed something that isn't there than it would have taken you to prove your claim..
It's ok to be an ignorant fool. Just don't expect anyone to take you seriously.

All that to say nothing eh? Big thinkers in here. Like I said, don't get pissed if you can't see the logical end to the bullshit the guy posted. Maybe you should stick to linking other people's ideas.

If you can't see that in order to be logical, you should be able to defend your position by detailing the steps you used to reach the conclusion. So far all you have done is make assertions and an ad hominem saying that if anyone else doesn't understand how you reached the conclusion, it must be our fault.
Sorry, but your logic-fu is weak.

Hey Japanfreak, I have an idea.. How about you address the valid criticisms we brought up in a logical and civil manner? Surely such an intelligent man as yourself is capable of having a reasonable conversation?
Surely you're not going to hide your massive intellect behind name calling and ignorance?
I'm just wondering, how does it feel to walk into a thread full of logical, free thinking, intelligent people and have nothing to say buy ad hominem attacks? How does it feel to be unable to defend yourself against people obviously way beyond your level of intelligence? How does it feel to just ignore valid points and strive to tighten your vale of ignorance to the point where you can't make one, single, valid argument?

Of course, I'm just not interested in helping some kid see the bigger picture. You guys can go back to your circle jerk now.

Once again, you guys don't think for yourselves as far as I can see, just argue over something missing the bigger picture but I realize that in this day and age if you can link a google video it makes you hot shit

Lol this thread is 4 pages long dude, it's not all about you.
Once again, you prove your ignorance and your inability to defend you claims. Something I found, you are quite good at.
