Here is the continuation of my argument with Michelle, writer of the blog AA Is A Cult. If you find it annoying that I’m dragging this out (hey, if you’re a regular reader (if any of you are) you know how sporadic my posts are) then come back next week. I’ll put the whole thing in it’s own page sometime then.
But, yeah, I went at it with someone who believes in the evangelical apocalypse, you know, Left Behind and all that. If any of your are just clenching your fists in frustration at her misconceptions: take a trip over to her blog and let her know in her comments section. If you’d like to commiserate with me over here in my comments section, great. You know your comments keep making me do this (and sometimes fill me with dread), right? If you’re clenching your fists with frustration over how I handled myself, feel free, again, to comment in my comment section, or Michelle’s. She seems pretty open to explaining her vision of the apocalypse.

No AA is problematic because it doesnt work,and they keep you there for life with manipulation and scare tactics.Its a cult and a dangerous one at that.
Atheism is quite the RELIGION unto itself.Atheists have web sites,they have a set of beliefs,they have faith in themselves,they have faith that there is no god,they frequently gather to affirm their beliefs,they blog about their beliefs,it has quite the following and organizations.In fact I bet every single member of NMBLA is an atheist.You have your right to your religious beliefs and to assume whatever you want about each religion.I have the right to do the same.If you dont like it get on a boat and go back to europe.

Michelle,
Evolution is proven. You think it’s not proven because you’ve been having the evangelical spin on science shoved down your throat for gosh knows how long.
No. It’s not my responsibility to prove that god doesn’t exist. YOU prove that he does exist. You can’t, so you ask me to prove that he doesn’t exist. It’s not my responsibility to disprove your supernatural claims. If I told you that we were all in the Matrix, and you were “the One” and I was Morpheus, would it be your responsibility to prove me wrong?
If I told you that the tooth fairy existed and you said, “No, she doesn’t.” And I said, “FIRST OF ALL YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT. SECOND OF ALL PROVE THAT THE TOOTH FAIRY DOESN’T EXIST!” You’d say, no, YOU prove that she does. That makes sense, doesn’t it?
In terms of “archeology” proving the bible? It doesn’t. In terms of it predicting water cycles? Not sure where you got that nugget of propaganda. But the Bible also got Pi wrong. It also completely overlooked microscopic organism. It also posited that the world’s been around for only 100,000 (give or take) years. It’s wrong about that, too. Unless you think that humans co-existed with dinosaurs. Do you? No, seriously. Are you willing to accept that and turn a blind eye to the (nearly) two hundred years of biological science?
What if you’re right about Jesus? Well, what if you’re wrong? Their are billions (not the hyperbolic, idiotic comment you made on fossils in your “evolution isn’t real”-theory, but actual billions) of people who believe in other gods. Are they all going to burn in hell? Do you DARE THEM, IF THEY HAVE ANY BALLS, as you say in your slightly maddened caps-locked text, to ASK GOD TO PROVE HIMSELF? Isn’t that disrespectful, annoying, and ignorant of you?
Also, I hereby, before your eyes, challenge god to prove himself to me.
