I know that there are far too many lekatisms to chose from, but today I think he topped himself by stuffing 700 pounds of stupid into a 6 ounce post.
Lekatt’s still here?
I’m not feeling it. The statement does not seem so remarkable to me.
He has clearly said many more stupid things than that.
The guy talks to his spirit guide, who he picked up as a result of a bad night’s sleep, and *that *is the stupidest thing he’s said?
Huh?
Isn’t that a standard for theism? “I don’t have any rationalization for what I believe. I just believe.”
Isn’t that the whole concept behind blind faith?
It’s a strange sort of non-rejection of atheism. If you don’t reject atheism, belief in God is a bit hard to reconcile unless you’re a complete idiot (*disclaimer: nothing lekatt has ever posted indicates he’s not a blithering moron).
Seems he meant, “I don’t have anything personal against atheism”, but that’s just my WAG. Also, it’s effectively refuted by just about every post lekatt has ever made.
It’s the amount of straight on non-ambiguous stupid in such few words, I think.
“My spirit guide is a beaver.”
Ehh, not so stupid. I don’t know lekatt, but if he/she meant “I believe in God, but I know that the existence of a god cannot be demonstrated rationally, and so I’m in no position to say that atheists are wrong, at least not in any way that would be convincing to them,” then it kind of makes sense.
Honestly Czarcazm I don’t know why you let this guy get under your skin so much. He’s just a harmless older man with some odd beliefs that help him cope with the daily shit life throws at us. He’s not trying to oppress gays or stop science education, and even if he were his political power is precisely zero. I guess it’s mildly amusing to engage him–hell I posted in that thread when he blatantly contradicted himself–but you seem genuinely enraged by him. He’s not hurting you.
It would be better if Burt Reynolds was his spirit guide.
Did you know he did his own stunts?
Yeah, but whose?
If you knew lekatt you would know he meant exactly what he said.
In all fairness, as a believer, I firmly believe that atheists exist and I believe that their view is called “atheism”. Faith would be without meaning if there weren’t people who didn’t have faith. Kinda like Schrodinger’s cat can be both alive and dead at the same time. Or not. Finicky cat.
Absolutely this. I figured he was dead.
Oh really? You’re not saying it wouldn’t be appreciated or valued, you’re saying it would be “without meaning.” Would you say “God would be without meaning if it weren’t for the Devil”?
This deserves its own thread.
Well, he was, but he came back. (Again.)
Show us pics of your beaver! Lulz!!1
Can it be the naked Burt Reynolds on that rug?
No, I said nothing about the devil. That deserves its own thread. You have confused universal agreement with faith.
