Hi, Seriatsart.

This is a message sent to all who find their way to these forums.

We like people, and we like facts too!

We're friendly but we're skeptical, and if somebody calls for proof, it's not an accusation. Only the strong ideas thrive here: we try to respect people. (We do not tolerate personal abuse.)

You may already have visited these other handy places:
* New Member Information
* Welcome from AFA president
* For those interested in learning, I recommend the Atheism Resource Thread maintained by Fearless.
* And a quick look at our reserved spot for belief-based discussion, Fantasy Island, includes The Great Big List, a sort-of "things we've seen before" for those of faith, and general rules of argument for the forum.

If you've got questions, please ask. Moderators have red name tags, but many of our friendly people may have the answers you need.

Enjoy the forums. We hope to see plenty from you in discussions.

Have fun.

You have a right to your point of view and I have a right to tell you how fucking stupid it is.

Hi there. Enjoy your time here.

G'day seriatsart and welcome to the forum. Good to see you're upfront with your opinions there.
A couple of quick questions for you:
1/ are people who believe in gods other than allah stupid as well or is it just atheists?
2/ why are others stupid when the main thrust of your post is a confession of your inability to understand something fairly simple?

Hello seriastart. I believe in apostrophes. I can't understand people who don't believe in apostrophes. They must be two thirds stupid. It's my point of view.

Hi seriasart
I see you don't believe in the flying spaghetti monster. Surely you are not stupid? Surely know he boiled for your sins, was refrigerated and washed on the third day? It is so good, come join us, remember to bring the cheese.

Hello seriatsart, welcome to the forum.

Your opening gambit is a well-known logical fallacy called "Argument From Ignorance". In your OP, there could be quite a lot of ignorance behind said argument. It's just my point of view.

See how this works, when you start like that?

I strongly suggest that you reconsider your approach here, should you return.

Ive been there before. I cant understand people who do believe in god. They must be stoned. It's my point of view.

I guess I cant understand muslims now a days. Why is it necessary to fast for 13 hours from early morning to late evening, only to pig the fuck out, then repeat the cycle? They must be fucking stupid to the max.

Now I wonder if you know what the five pillars of Islam are? Then name the five types of namaz muslims must do. And then explain what jihad is and what is the point?

Will you kill people if Allah asked you to do so?

Tech tip: connecting your tongue to the 240v mains will induce a spiritual and religious experience. Be sure to consume lots of bacon and beer beforehand. And touch a dog before doing it.
