Someone cares about Mexico? Mexicans don't even care about Mexico.:conf: |

Presumably, how are they too vocal for their own good.
Simple answer... the more each side in the issue talks the more they deminish their own credibility by making unreasonable arguments based less on the other's position than on their belief of what the other's position is. |

| Oh, thanks. I wasn't sure what he meant, and that's pretty much what I'd say :) |

:stongue:
What a load of . That's true for the religious faction, but provide me an example of how the atheist 'leaders' deminish [sic] their credibility by making unreasonable arguments? I've only read Dawkins and Hitchens, but if anything, they boost their credibility by making incredibly rational and well structured arguments. Neither of them are under any delusions as to what their opponents' position is. |

Because they make delicious burritos and provide cheap labor? |

Actually, I went through several cringe-sessions when I read their works... are you really going to make me go look the excerpts up on their books? :p |

Is that so... they don't make any incorrect assumptions? They are entirely correct on their understanding of every belief from every religion? Sorry, but that's just pure folly and I think you're showing a confirmation bias here. |
