Ok, I'm only going to continue this because Mr. Donut still hasn't replied. Let's take a look at what you typed:

asking a theist to give examples and proof as to why he is a theist is like trying to describe colours to a blind man that was born blind. It can't be done.BumFluff122

If you are trying to imply that it is the theist who is blind, then your post should have read like this: "asking a theist to give examples and proof as to why he is a theist is like a blind man that was born blind trying to describe colors. It can't be done."

What you said was, "...like trying to describe colours to a blind man that was born blind. It can't be done". So, trying to describe something to someone who can't see it. Hmm, who would be doing the describing in this case? The theist would be. Therefore, with the atheist being the listener in this scenario, your post implies that a theist could explain his beliefs all day, and the atheist, being born blind, could never understand. If you meant to agree with me, you should have paid more attention to what you were typing. Because as it stands now, your analogy doesn't fit your intended point.

Perhaos you should reread it. I never once said anythign about atheism. I'm beginning to think you're just carrying this on because you realize you made a mistake and rather than saying somethign like "Oh well I guess I didn't read it right, my apologies" you'd rather say somethign like "We;ll my post wasn't directed towards you I was talking to so-and-so and am waiting for their reply" even though you quoted me then after I call you out on it you switch to "Well your post says atheists are blind" Which it doesn't. Perhaps you were meaning to quote the person above me who made the same anology between atheists and a blind person rather than me who made the anaology between theists and a blind person. Quote the right person next time if you want a reply from that person. Why are you even arguing about this?BumFluff122
Funny, it looks like avoiding admitting fault is what you're doing right now. Maybe you meant something else, but your words clearly express that an atheist will not understand a theist's beliefs. You even used a blindness analogy. Blind, meaning, not being able to see. There is nothing for a theist to see when he is explaining his beliefs. Either you made a mistake in regard to who you were insinuating was blind, or you don't know how to properly impliment analogy into a point. :roll: By the way, you quoted me first, when I wasn't even talking to you. You're guilty of both things you're accusing me of. I'm done with you. I don't have time for this silly crap. I'm waiting for KamikazeDount's answer, at that's it.

I read you loud and clear the first time. Sorry my response wasn't what you thought it would be. I didn't ask you anyway, I was asking KamikazeDonut, and I'm still waiting for his or her answer.

You quoted me telling me I believe in God (When I don't) and telling me what I wrote (Which I didn't) and now you procede to tell me that you weren't talking to me and you are waiting for a response from someone else. If you aren't talking to the person you quoted then don't quote them. Simple as that.

Your post gave the implication that atheists must be blind. It insinuates that it doesn't matter how many times a theist attempts to explain his "proof" of "God" to an atheist, an atheist just won't see it. As if they can't. as if they're blind to it. As if they are just like a blind man who can't see colors and will never understand them no matter how hard you try to explain it. Re-read it if you can't see it. Oh crap... it's as if you can't see colors. An amazing case of irony.

Well that's nice that you're trying to say that atheists are blind... is this the theists latest and greatest excuse/insult to come through the tubes? Actually, never mind that. What I really want to say is, that I don't think that's such a great analogy anyway. A blind man can never see those colors. At least not with our current technology. Maybe blindness is something that can be reversed in the future. who knows. But realizing "God" is something that should be possible by all people as far as I can tell, if he's really real. If the people who are sure he exists, can't convince those who don't believe, isn't it just a case of believers having an unfortunate inability to reach their fellow man? I mean, how hard could it be to show me the evidence of something I ask for? Or is it just all hogwash?

I believed in Santa until I was about 9. I became skeptical. Around 10, I became fully aware it was a hoax, and my parents confirmed my suspicions shortly after.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but do you think you could verify this claim for me? You know, with actual proof? If you can do that, I'll believe you. Thanks in advance. :)

[QUOTE="The_Versatile"][QUOTE="DigitalExile"]You should get a tutor to improve your English/spelling/grammar etcDigitalExile

I think you should too. English, spelling, and grammar are not synonymous, therefore they shouldn't be seperated by slashes, but rather commas, as I have demonstrated here. :) Also, you should have put a period at the end of "etc.", as it's an abbreviation for a longer word, and also it was at the end of a sentence. Lesson over. You're welcome. :)

Improve, not perfect.

Did I not improve on your post?
