Schizophrenic Atheists Can Dish Materialism Out But Can't Take It {And I can't tell science from religion. Moved to AvT}
Offline Delete this if its spamming. Just thought more of you might want to answer it.
Its so popular to be a schizophrenic atheist. You get to be a materialist who believes he’s just a bunch of purposeless subatomic particles, just like any old pile of shit, and you also get to tell yourself and everyone else that you and your opinions are a lot more important than any pile of shit.
And you get away with it forever here cause none of your schizophrenic peers calls you on it. read your posts and see it yourself. You just jump right in assuming that the human race, its survival, and its opinions of itself are more important than a pile of shit. Because a human being is more complex and ordered than a pile of shit? Check it out, materialists, that’s an aesthetic judgment not a logical argument. And that judgment itself is just a pattern of purposeless particles.
So, your posts are just patterns of purposeless subatomic particles that believe they’re more important than the subatomic particles in a pile of shit.
take another bite at the apple. Fill in the blank below with a chain of rigorous deductive logic from just materialistic principles.
RRS authors and their opinions are just a pattern of purposeless subatomic particles. A pile of shit is just a pattern of purposeless subatomic particles…_________________...Therefore RRS authors and their opinions are more important than a pile of shit.

you've confused materialism with nihilism.
You've confused multiple personality disorder with schizophrenia. It happens a lot. You've also misunderstood.
Well some of the people's opinions on this site are more important, and others are less. And let's not devalue shit. It's the basis of sustainable agriculture.
"Purpose" is something we made up, so we can assign it to anything we like.
We all also have the capacity to judge how purposeful and meaningful someone's posts are to us.
The logic is invalid. Is your point that the value of the site's opinions is as valuable as the basis for an agrarian economy? Or did you just want to say "shit" a bunch of times?

And the purpose of your post is....?

Your title suggests that schizophrenic atheists dish out materialism and that you intend to dish out materialism that schizophrenic atheists can't take. If so, I think you missed the mark. You also seem to have a weak understanding of psychoses, quantum physics and the difference between spamming and trolling.
A "pile of shit", if it is on a farm, may well have more purpose than a human being, since it has been placed there with the expressed purpose of fertilizing the crops on the farm, whereas a human may not have any particular aim in life, and may not necessarily have been given a specific task to perform by someone else, which are the only way entities can be said to have a purpose.
As for "important", this doesn't quite mean much, unless you specify 'important to what or whom'. The collection of matter making up my body is more important to me than any other random group of matter, whereas you are of no importance to me whatsoever, except as an example of how dumb some posters can be... In general, various other such human-shaped chunks of matter are also more important to me than other objects, since they are friends and family, or they pay me for work, etc.
Obviously I am not a 'materialist' in the crude sense you appear to be using the term, your logic fails when you assume that some sort of belief in the supernatural or a soul (I am assuming), is the only alternative.
Of course I believe our material structure is ultimately a collection of sub-atomic particles, but that obviously is not a complete description of any object, since there are significant differences between different material objects which depend on the way those ultimate bits are arranged.
Nothing we perceive as an identifiable object, whether a lump of granite, an apple, a dog, a human body, is just a collection of subatomic particles, otherwise we would not be able to tell them apart.

Atheism means we don't believe in God. There are many possible ways of making sense of the world and forming codes of behaviour and assigning value that are not dependent on the assumption that there is a Supreme being.
So we are not 'dishing out materialism'.
And we have no problem with the implications of a purely Naturalistic, ie non-supernatural, view of the world.
The crude reductionist materialism you appear to be illogically assuming is automatically part of 'atheism' is by no means the only alternative to Theism.
The assignment of relative value or 'importance' in the sense you seem to be using the word is not purely a matter of logic, it depends on what we personally find generates in us the most positive feelings.
And 'schizophrenic' involves, among other things, seeing and hearing and maybe even talking to things which exist only in the mind of the sufferer, so it is more appropriately applied to people who believe in God or speak to Jesus...
So your whole post, from the title on down , is a series of non-sequiters.

Wait... if I'm a materialist then that makes me equal in value to a pile of shit?
Your appeal to emotion is emotionally devastating!
A place common to all will be maintained by none. A religion common to all is perhaps not much different.
Man, what a pile of shit..... I can't take it!
