She didn't ACTUALLY argue from population, though. Since she's being difficult, I've asked her to clarify her positions, rather than insist on me revising my post. I'm interested in how, exactly, natural selection has allegedly "determined" that Christianity is the best, among other things.
And, looking back at the page, she hasn't clarified anything yet. She's still speaking in vague terms like "if you apply Darwinian thought...."

It's like their pastors do all the thinking (i know that's a given), and then debrief them in chuch, "oh, btw, if you run into any Atheists, tell 'em THIS BRILLIANT ARGUMENT AGAINST THEM...BAAAAAHAHAHA...they don't REALLY believe there isn't a god, and their own Evolutionary theory actually works in OUR favor..." Woah ho ho, there...yah stumped me....now let's jump on over to reasons why you're WRONG WRONG WRONG!
do ANY of these people think through their pastors' arguments? With the number of smack-downs they must get when they talk to Atheists, you'd think they'd be more hesitant to even broach the subject...though granted, many of them just spread the original argument and pat eachother on the back for being so brilliant...

sorry, that wasn't very helpful...If I were in your position I'd probably have devolved into playing up to her gullibility by now by telling her about our "evil Atheist CONSPIRACY!!"

Some, like Zdenny, seem to actually think that good logic is bad & bad logic is good, or that logic is only good when it comes out to their conclusion.
Also, apparently her argument is that Christianity has "benefited society the most." She actually said "western society," which is not the whole of the human race...whatever.

That's been the favorite idea for a while now, and they don't even know why. the US supreme court ruled that atheism is not a religion, but should be treated as such to give them the same rights as anyone else. Well, you know how fundie reading comprehension is, they skim the article, pick out the phrases they like and link'em together to get Atheism is a religion...kinda what they do to the bible

Oh, so that's the story behind that. I never even bothered to look. The Supreme Court is not the ultimate authority on reality. They cannot decide what a word means.

This is finally getting good. She's broken out with how she "follows all of the major atheists on the net, but has read too much to be taken in by their superficial arguments." And now I am back to hamming it up again.
"God Bless!"* "Cthulhu fhatagan."
*=She puts this at the end of every one of her major "argument" posts. I've been reading it as "Fuck You!" or "Take That!"

...Evidently, evolutionists like to change the definition of "theory" from "unverified supposition" to--y'know, what it actually is, & that is dishonest.
Really? How can you be so dumb that you'd go into an argument with someone about science & NOT KNOW WHAT THE WORDS MEAN!?
