How do we get more people to practise Christianity?

[AN2]

No, I didn’t walk in from a Christmas party.

Ah, James, the master of projection strikes again. Your imaginary Christmas party drama is as fictitious as your claim to have 'booted' me in a debate. Let’s not confuse your quips for substance; they’re little more than verbal ornaments—glittering distractions to mask the emptiness beneath. Shall we revisit the moment your dignity crumbled, or would you prefer to keep spinning tales to shield yourself from the memory?

And about dignity—yours met its end when you declared the origins of life were a simple 50/50 toss, as though cosmic probabilities were on par with a game of heads or tails. That intellectual blunder

How can you have any dignity when you still refuse to acknowledge that it was a quip.

I would hazard a guess, and it may be risky (considering there's @Mad as Fish), but you are the only person on this site to think that it was a "blunder"

And that's what you do, you live in a fantasy world

seems to have left you scarred, given the PTSD you exhibit whenever we exchange words. While I enjoy a fulfilling life with a happy marriage, a family, and the honor of coaching in the League of Ireland junior circuit, you sit alone, smoking and drinking, with no wife, no children, and no friends. Perhaps for your own sake, you’d best avoid jibes about being disliked—you might yet preserve a shred of self-respect.

Err...?

There is only one thing worse than being talked about, and that's not being talked about I guess!

Ah yes, the classic retreat: 'It was just a quip!' Convenient how every glaring misstep gets rebranded as humor the moment it’s exposed. But even if we accept that excuse, it doesn't erase the fact that your original 'coin toss' claim about the origins of life was laughable—and not in the way you intended. You can hazard guesses all you like, but anyone with a grip on logic knows that dismissing complex cosmic probability as 50/50 was nothing short of a self-inflicted wound on your credibility.

What’s more telling is what you haven’t done: You’ve offered no argument against the fact that post-Catholic Ireland has produced no noteworthy nationalists who weren’t Catholic. None. Instead, your entire atheistic worldview floats disconnected from any practical reality, much like your attempts to rewrite the history of this discussion. The fantasy world here is yours—a place where quips can substitute for arguments and blunders don’t count when you say so.

The fact that you're still here spasticulating about it just goes to show that you're one of those extreme retards who has no awareness or shame

Isn’t amazing how this 'quip' defense only materialized months after the fact.

If it truly was a joke, you’d have made that clear from the start rather than doubling down on it repeatedly when challenged. This retroactive revisionism is less about wit and more about damage control—a transparent attempt to save face after an embarrassing misstep.

And while we’re here, let’s talk about the glaring silence on the real issue: post-Catholic Ireland’s complete failure to produce any noteworthy godless nationalists. You’ve had ample time to address this, yet there’s been nothing but evasion. That silence speaks volumes—it seems your atheistic worldview struggles not just with cosmic probabilities but also with practical relevance to nationalism

No, it materialised the moment I said it

But you're such a fucking retard you're still spasticulating about it months later..

The quip, by the way, was after the @Tiger retard kept on asking me what is the probability of one in a millon, million, million.. (which answers itself)

The @Tiger retard believes that if something is highly improbable.. then it's God.

Ah, I see , so it was a quip the moment you said it, yet you only began calling it that months later when you realized your ‘50/50’ statement was about as intelligent as a flat tire. Classic backpedal. If it was truly a joke from the start, why did you attempt to defend it for so long? Not exactly the mark of someone with their wits about them, is it?

As for your charming ‘retard’ insult, it's impressive how you still think that throwing around playground slurs is a substitute for actual reasoning. It’s almost endearing that you’ve resigned yourself to petty name-calling in place of real discussion. But let's get back to the important stuff:

Why haven't you responded to the fact that post-Catholic Ireland has produced zero notable nationalists who aren’t Catholic? (because you don't like the answer)

If your worldview holds any weight, this should be something you’d want to address, not sidestep like a coward. Or are you too busy self-diagnosing 'retardation' to give it some thought

 

[AN2]

I demolished you months later for my own entertainment and to hammer the nail into your coffin, which you obviously do not recognise..

Because you're a retard

 

[AN2]

You're perfectly free by the way retard @Tiger to post your God of the gaps arguments in the Origins Uncensored thread any time you feel like it but of course you're running scared, you haven't even bothered to update your own fraudulent (censored) thread because you know I'll hammer you if you do..

Ah, so now you're claiming 'months later' as your personal victory lap? How touching. You must be really proud of yourself for demolishing me in a fantasy world that exists only in your head. If that's your idea of 'winning,' then I guess I should thank you for the entertainment—no one does delusions of grandeur like you do.

As for your ‘nail in the coffin,’ well, it's a pretty thin coffin, isn't it? You still haven’t even touched the fact that your worldview is devoid of any real connection to reality, especially when it comes to the complete absence of non-Catholic nationalists in post-Catholic Ireland.

Maybe you’re too busy patting yourself on the back to realize that your 'victory' was a hollow one, built on nothing more than your own desperate need to justify a worldview that doesn't hold up when faced with any real scrutiny. But hey, keep clinging to your delusions, it must be comforting in your little corner of the internet. As for me, I’ll keep living in the real world, where actual nationalists make a difference, and not in the realm of your imaginary victories.

I don't think this thread should be turned into another - There are no nationalists because atheism bad

@Tiger bored us all to death with that in the last one

I can understand that you wouldn’t want to be publicly humiliated again. That stands to reason.

However, it does beg the question as to why you were so uncomfortable and unable to answer the questions posed about the absence of prominent atheist nationalist activists.

Oh, let us guess, you ‘don’t want to talk about it”.

 

[AN2]

You don't have a nationalist bone in your body

 

[AN2]

It's the same as someone like EMJ, zero nationalism possessed, literally none

 

[Professor]

Ho

This all probably has to do with the post-modern way of thinking, in which you are allowed to forge your own sort of 'new age' religion of sorts & not abide by the traditions of an actually serious system of Christianity.

All due respect, variations on Christianity go waaay back hundreds of years ago.
New age could refer to Irish emigrants who arrived into America back in the 1800's, can you imagine the contrasts??

Unitarian Universalism - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Religious folk take their spirituality very seriously, it's fundamental to who they are and what they do.
Apparently there are 10,000 or more different sects of Christianity

The UU's outlook above should appeal to the lapsed Catholic and/or Agnostic who feel the need for a religion which compliments their lives today.

Have you ever considered joining a debating society James? With arguments as well thought out as articulate as the above, I’m sure you’d make a fantastic addition

The hollow accusation coming from someone with no tangible connection to their forefathers' faith, no clear articulation of their so-called nationalism, and no real action to back it up, that’s rich.

Unlike you, I’m fully Irish, living my heritage every day, active in my community, and raising children who will carry on that legacy.

Meanwhile, you—without kids, without active involvement, and apparently without a coherent position—sit on the sidelines casting empty judgments. Tell me, how does your brand of nationalism manifest itself, other than as armchair pontification? Because from where I stand, you’re more a spectator than a participant in anything resembling national pride.

Ah, such intellectual finesse—you’ve truly missed your calling in the grand halls of debating societies.

You’re like the Alan Partridge of pseudo-nationalism: fumbling through clichés, spouting half-baked quips, and forever confusing wit with substance. Raising children with a love for their faith, heritage, and the enduring truths of their ancestors is not 'indoctrination.' It’s ensuring that they are rooted in something greater than the vapid materialism and aimless nihilism of modernity.

But of course, this is all par for the course. You deflect because you cannot address the glaring void in your own so-called nationalism. You’ve offered nothing but hollow sneers, no clear vision, no tangible contribution. If this is your idea of an argument, it’s no wonder you’re content to spectate while others shoulder the burden of preserving what you claim to care about.
