.@cderoistec. Do you even know what ‘reductionist’ means? Atheists plainly desire to be free of the claims of divine law and justice. I used to be one. To do so, they must obviously reject the idea of a purposeful universe. You desire to obscure its truth with verbiage. — PolitiTweet.org

Call me Ishamael #WoT 🇬🇧 @CdeRoiste

@college_kumaran @ClarkeMicah As reductionist a view of the "unbeliever" as many atheists have of the "believer". Tut tut Hitchens.

.@michaelswithers . Of course it is. I readily and frequently say so, and affirm that my belief is driven by desire. But most atheists pretend otherwise. They pretend they have not chosen their belief and so avoid any discussion of their motives. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah @RobertMurphy987 By the same token so is theism.

.@contrahitch99 Alas for the bravado , Churchill, humiliated by FDR at Tehran, did indeed give in to Stalin at Yalta. Poland,for which Britain had supposedly gone to war in 1939, was banned from the London victory parade after WW2, in case it annoyed Stalin. Appeasement, I’d say — PolitiTweet.org

Says who, exactly, .@paulmaccio? Also the people of Crimea sought their own referendum on rule from Kiev in 1992, collecting the signatures required by Ukraine law. And the Kiev government prevented the vote with threats of violence. So 1991 border not quite so clear. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RobertMurphy987 Atheist arguments are dull because they're evasive. Hardly any atheists recognise that their desire for there to be no God is rooted in their wishes.They hide this from themselves. How can an opinion about the unknowable be 'valid'? It's an opinion, that's all. — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Murphy @RobertMurphy987

@ClarkeMicah Also, it doesn't really matter whether atheist arguments are dull. What matters is whether they're valid.

2/2 .@HMSIncomparable . All peace deals are unjust. But being dead, or maimed, or driven from your home is much more unjust, Why are British people so cavalier about war in other people's countries? Must it come here before you realise how terrible it is? — PolitiTweet.org
