Atheism

They put their "spiritual" thoughts into one category, a category of "off limits" to investigation or scrutiny.

As long as faith is the foundation of religious thinking, there will never be a way to cross-check the object of faith with reality. Ultimately, it's just an emotional preference, probably stemming from cultural indoctrination. Unskilled mental response to social stimuli. But that's not limited to the religious. Look at politics, for example.

That is why I think a small amount of skepticism with every thing is healthy. Doesn't matter the topic I don't think anyone should just blindly accept something because a large group believes it or that there is some negative labels placed on those who challenge the information.

No they don't. B.F. Skinner had no off limits.

B.F. Skinner Krumpie!! He was more than one person. Followers of behaviourism are legion. They generally smile indulgently at your simple, self-flattering noddle notions. The less compassionate smirk.

Just because there is a large group of people who believe something is true, doesn't necessarily make what they believe, true.

I'm sorry I couldn't understand what you were implying. I foolishly assumed it was some lame sophistry to justify disreputable and deplorably common pantsdown positions. Perhaps I ought to consider reorienting my thinking.

You are the one who brought the idea up and this is your only way out? Not surprised.

It's not my idea. It is the obvious conclusion derived from studying atheists a bit. One has to be scientific about these things.

Now you have lost the argument when you need to stoop to that sort of shite.

Krumple and spendi must be having an interesting exchange that only they can understand.

I like your ego thinking that you are brilliant but na, hate to break it to you but you have a long way to

Where have I ever claimed any such thing? I am very well aware that I have a long way to go.

I love this. He is so bent that he can't seem to let it go. He wants to pretend that he is done with it but it is obvious that he can't get over me. Just goes to show that has nothing to do with what I talk about or the content of what is said. It has everything to do with not liking someone because they bring up a position that is not popular.

I am not part of his tribe so he wants to exterminate me from it. He doesn't want anyone else to accept me into their tribes either but can't accept the fact that everyone hasn't abandoned me. He doesn't seem to realize it doesn't matter who decides to take such a reaction. Another method of group mentality to impose his will onto others which is the very core to what I am discussing.
