The only thing insane would be to argue that we shouldn't question ideas. Luckily, nobody is arguing that we shouldn't do that. GREAT! I'll keep doing it then. Cool?

I don`t care or mind it if people belive in God. people can believe what they want as long as they don`t bother me about it. I do
People can question whatever they want
yes people can question whatever they want. And people can believe whatever they want. I mean i rather have an religious person who don`t bother me with his faith. Than an atheist who goes on and on about how God does not exist. Even if i agree with the atheist.

I'd rather life in a world where we all act rationally myself, and then we'd never have to have these discussions.
I truly don't understand why you'll pretend they don't bother you with their faith. Are you aware of the attempt to have creation taught in schools? Are you aware of terrorism? Are you aware of the attempts to pass amendments to ban gay marriage? I don't know how you could act like they don't push their beliefs on others.

ArArArchStantonThis isn't happening. Affects the religious far more than the theophobiac This isn't happening in any substantial way. Hopefully, you're breathing a sigh of relief.

Errrrrrrrrrrr what?
Why do people make arguments like this?
If they're unexplained, then there is no current explanation. So that makes god just a synonym for no explanation? God means you don't know. Wow. Let's worship that. People don't make arguments like this,it's just another one of your blatant straw men in a never ending crusade against people with faith, simply because you seemingly can't fathom why the world doesn't think like you. Also you're not above lying in the name of your cause. In December 2016 on the original RFS board and under the username AtheismBecauseReason you posted the following OP: Remember that story ABR? You should because it's made up bullshit. As CashIssupreme points out here: The full thread can be found here: www.hollilla.com/reader.php?action=thread&thread=18347862The backpedalling and goal posting shifting you do in an attempt to cover your lie is pretty damned funny. The thing is you had almost no credibility posting as ABR on the old board and you have almost no credibility posting as ArArArchStanton here. The same lies,the same strawmen,the same condescending attitude towards people who have the temerity not to subscribe to your world view. You're every bit the fascist that the fundamentalist Christian's you attack are,just another side of the coin.

Why do people make arguments like this? What people? Can't speak for the OP, but I've heard very similar things from many of the believers in my own family. They tell personal stories that essentially end with the "you can't explain that, so God." I don't know how common this is among other believers, but it definitely happens. Someone else posted the Bill O'Reilly "tide goes in/out" argument as an example.

I see Ada has finally been banned for a pattern of insulting,dishonest behaviour towards the admins. Another poster is on thin ice for similar behaviour, but is too stupid realise it.

Thats a mass simplification of the actual view held by some theists.

I don't know how common this is among other believers, but it definitely happens. Someone else posted the Bill O'Reilly "tide goes in/out" argument as an example. Most theists who use variants of a God of the Gaps argument don't claim that things are unexplained; they use God as an explanation. And as soon as an explanation exists, something is no longer unexplained. I'm an atheist and materialist, and I admit that there are unexplained things. What caused the Big Bang? I don't know. There are various unproven scientific theories about it. Theists however have an explanation: God did it. Whether this explanation stands up to scrutiny is another matter. But an explanation is an explanation.
