An Annoying Christian Argument Refuted

This is a discussion of some of the issues I have with "presuppositional" arguments for Christianity (or theism). It is a rather rare and specialized argument, but it's especially annoying (to me anyway) and as I hadn't seen any videos discussing the subject I made one myself.

I don't disagree with the points you are making in your videos, but I feel that you aren't respecting people as you claim to be. Sure, there are logical flaws in all religions that you in your infinite superiority can poke holes in, but calling all religious peoples' way of life flawed is short sighted. Religion has always been an important part of culture and society. Although it is not for you, and I respect that, your logic can't replace the role of religion in peoples' lives.

@FlorenceRobotIsa this video is a bit different than my others in that I'm definitely NOT respectful of the topic. It's not religion I'm attacking but the moronic arguments of Christian presuppositionalists--a particular type of argument I find particularly obnoxious.

However visual they get reality still stands; Many differential behaviors are allowed when things do not seem to have a mutual awareness! Is what is becoming a vital responce to reality? Even their vision is disallowed; self-supposition can only appertain reasoning, their adjunct is false . . . your terms are aware . . . misunderstanding is what you split apart! Your reasoning is the only thing that counts to you or anybody else! History is your friend . . . stand on it!

@in2dionysus Coherence.  Look into it.

I’ll echo semajgnik. You build a straw man argument against presuppositionalism.

@Mike82ARP I the video I'm responding to how the argument was presented to me. Since I made the video others have presented it differently, however it's still a ridiculously absurd argument that's only about providing a pseudo-rational sounding basis for arbitrary beliefs in highly unlikely things.

@KnightMike2015 considering you think atheists believe in nothing, and atheists think life is pointless, etc. I'm not surprised you hold the positions you do. However if you ever want to find out that your'e completely wrong about what you think about atheists, you might listen to us instead of telling us incorrect things about ourselves.

[MystryBox]

@jsalverdachss yes, others have made similar points before. Unfortunately for you people that aren't theists often do have a basis for logic, and even if they didn't it wouldn't make your supposed basis for logic correct. if you want to prove your god exists you actually have to prove your god exists. Just because your mythology has an explanation for logic (or whatever) doesn't mean that explanation is true nor that your mythology is true. That I actually have to explain that to you is sad.

@FlorenceRobotIsa Our world will always be better without religion and it deserves to be insulted in everyday possible because it offers and deserves no mercy. There are so many reasons why religion is flawed and does not deserve respect
