Yo everyone

I have always debated religion with friends and co workers and always got pissed on how they just kept coming with the same insane and illogical arguments over and over.

So I decided to logically organize my thoughts in a blog (www.dailywackadoo.com). It's more of a personal blog where I can organize my thoughts and collect news/stories from crazy theist people.

It is just so damn hard to logically argue with Fish People that I thought that organizing my ideas using premises and conclusions would be a better idea and a better way to make them stay on track (have you ever noticed how they always deviate from the point being debated?).

Anyways, I've never really followed blogs of forums before, but started doing it for my own blog.

Found this site last night, and already found some really good stuff here.

 

It is easy to argue with them. It is hard to engage in a logical debate with them though, and that is my goal. So I hope I can learn more on this forum, not just about Theists and Atheists, but also about debating strategies and how to argue with them.

There are some threads about this and yes, it is frustrating.

You will! Until coming to this site and getting a crash course in debating from a friend I could not even discuss religion with other people. I knew religion was nonsense but lacked the ability to counter their statements. That is not the case anymore! Have fun!!
