So, its twenty eleventeen and all is awesome.
Good good.
As you can tell, I don’t really have anything productive to say. So, in the absence of anything resembling wisdom, insight or edutainmusement, please study the picture below. It will henceforth be used when talking to religionuts (Jesusianismists in particular, my circle of acquaintances is light on Muhammadanismists and other similar delusionists):
Debate Flow Chart
Why? Because for some reason (unsurprisingly, really) it’s hard to have a real discussion with a delusionist, mostly because they have a problem with adhering to reality and reason. They also lie a lot. To themselves even.
Anyway, that’s all I have to say about that.
May the rest of your year be filled with much awesome.
(And yes, I got the picture from PZ’s blog and the original comes from here, Atheism Resource, which has much win)
That diagram explains why I never get past the first box.
Happy fling around the sun for another year!
Ha, yea, indeed. Discussion is a foreign term to those who believe talking donkey’s and snakes.
May your next fling be drenched in awesome and your cup of win overflow… a lot… or something.
Glad you appreciated the diagram, and we appreciate you linking republishing it. We always encourage rational thought & discourse (especially when talking about religion), and felt it was important to publish something like this to help others out. All the best!

Well Kyle, it was a stroke of genius. I hope you guys keep publishing awesome like this diagram.
Thanks for the repost… this thing is really making it’s way around the atheists’ internet.
Found your site via your “like” of a post of mine. Impressed so far.
had an email discussion with a fellow blogger about this poster as he thought point # 3 (provide evidence for your position or arguments) excluded atheists from the discussion as they have no evidence.
I managed to change his mind but that was odd.
Have you seen this:

My favourite part is that only 45 subjects think the earth is more than 7000 years old but 70 think dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago. Now that’s compartmentalisation in action.
Can you say cognitive dissonance?
now for an indirect plug. Head over to Sciblogs.co.nz if you haven’t already. Many more competent bloggers than myself post there.
Hey, thanks for that!
How the minds of the religious work is a mystery to me to be honest, I find it hard to believe people can suffer from so much cognitive dissonance and not actually realise it.
I’ll read the post you linked to in a bit. Also I have been to sciblogs.co.nz (I read the posts there regularly), some very good stuff there!
