This is probably going to be the last post I’ll do on the Debunking Atheism nuts, seeing as how John Loftus has gone through a complete psychological breakdown.
Okay, perhaps that’s a bit unfair. He doesn’t really have the necessary equipment in place to undergo a psychological breakdown in the first place.
In any case, it has become obvious that Debunking Atheism is nothing more than a place for a whine-fest. It makes it really difficult to take any of it seriously, and so I no longer shall. The posters there seem to have no agenda other than to post criticism of Christianity and defend it at all costs with as much smokescreen as they can muster.
In fact, Loftus reminds me of those old movies where someone gets suppressed behind a rock by a bunch of people shooting at them. They try to toss some stones into the forest to make the shooters think they’re not behind the rock.
The only problem is that Loftus doesn’t realize he is in our sites and we can see him throwing the rocks, and thus aren’t fooled by the distraction.
I should clarify. This doesn’t mean I consider all the posters over there as insane as Loftus is. In fact, I quite enjoyed talking with Daniel Morgan, for instance, back before Loftus banned me for making sense. But Morgan is the exception, unfortunately.
So I’m not even going to bother to read any of that blog ever again. It’s just not worth the effort it takes to make wade through the ponderous illogic.

Super. You can’t understand it, much less reply to it. Now do what you’ve said you will do.

I just don’t know where Loftus is getting this “you don’t understand it, you’re a bunch of ignorant high schoolers, get an education” kick.
I’ve had intelligent, productive dialogue with other members of the DC rolls. I actually enjoy the discussion when people are willing to come to the table and present their arguments and respond to objections. It benefits everyone.
My theory is that Loftus is having a bad week, and is basically venting his wrath on the few Christian posters with the stomach to step up to the offensive arguments that atheists put forth. In truth I’d really like to help him work through whatever it is that is bugging him. But I’m probably not the right person.
Like you, CalvinDude, I’m pretty much going to have to abandon DC, and that makes me kind of sad. But who knows, perhaps God has something better in mind for us than to alternate between educating Loftus and serving as convenient vessels for his wrath.
