Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – John White’s further fails.

It’s always fun when a christian can’t even make a sensible title for his blog post. No mentions of atheists in foxholes in this one, just a christian making the same baseless claims. (memes at the bottom)

How nice of John White to write more nonsense for me to expose as the failure of a Christian.

Unsurprisingly, John still can’t show his imaginary friend exists.  He references an article that claims that scoring higher on analytical thinking doesn’t make someone smarter than another which is false since the ability to analyze something does make someone smarter than someone else.  The ability to analyze is intelligence.  “Research has shown that atheists tend to score higher on tests of analytical thinking compared to their religious counterparts.”

Yep, we are looking out for logical inconsistences, evidence and lies.  That John admits that theists aren’t as good as looking for these things is quite the admission that this could very well be why theists believe the nonsense they do.  The article he quotes tries to claim that atheists have blind spots of bias, but alas they can’t’ show that this is true or that theists are any different or better than atheists are. 

It’s notable John must claim that his god’s supposed wisdom is “hidden,” which is something any cultist says.  Yep, nothing has entered the heart of man about what this imaginary friend has planned since this imaginary friend doesn’t exist.  Every cultist claims that they have revelation from their god and surprise, they can’t agree on what that revelation is. 

And as for hell, funny how Christians can’t agree about that nonsense either.   It’s amusing when someone quotes Hotel California, and managed to forget that another lyric says “And I was thinkin’ to myself, “This could be heaven or this could be hell””   John of course, assumes it’s hell, but his heaven is no better. 

Yep, no heaven and no hell, just the sadistic delusions of losers like John and his fellow cultists. 

John’s story is nothing special.  Many people have divorced parents.  Many people have been hurt by their fellow believers.  Still no evidence for his imaginary friend.  He is just one more Christian who returned to the cult.  And funny how he thinks he is ever so special that his imaginary friend made a personal appearance for him.  Curious how that doesn’t happen to people like me who was losing her faith and praying for help.  John’s lies fail.  It’s also quite the story to say he lost a job because of fixable high blood pressure.  A reading of 196/96 is a hypertensive crisis and requires an emergency room and often an ICU stay.   

Then we get the story about how John is sure that he and his wife are the only TrueChristians™.  Unsurprisingly, it is nothing new for a Christian to make up a miracle.  No evidence for his claims as usual. 

“In my prior position as an engineer with an aerospace company, I received regular job offers from other defense contractors. Nevertheless, I was now in a situation that quickly deteriorated.“

“No person in the room asked that question. I was shaken from head to toe. I borrowed my wife’s red-cover, red-letter King James Bible to read. I opened to Genesis 1:1. She said, “We don’t have that much time.” She opened it to Matthew 1:1, where, for the first time in my life, I read the Bible. Over the next days, the Bible fed me. On a later Sunday evening, my two sons and pregnant wife were asleep. The text of her Bible was coming alive to me. I suddenly believed every word I read. The reality of my Savior suddenly filled me with peace. Then, it was off to bed.”

Personal testimony of any theist is generally a waste of time.  John wouldn’t believe with the testimony from any other form of Christian or any other theist.  He wouldn’t believe for the same reasons I don’t believe him: no evidence for those claims.  And the atheist is rejecting you and your imaginary friend.  Curious how this imaginary friend doesn’t seem to mind. 

As is often the case, there is little reason to believe John when he cites a claim from another Christian that claims he has 100 stories of skeptics converting to his religion.  He has no data, just baseless claims.   Joel Furches is a unknown person who simply made up what he claims is a “study” on “hubpages” which is nothing more than a place where anyone can publish what they write. 

It is nothing new that converts do so because of interacting with cultists.  The Hare Krishnas did this, the People’s temple did this, the Heaven’s gate cult did this, and nothing about this conversion is magical or shows that John’s cult is true. 

And finally, John tries the lie about “unconditional love” from his imaginary friend.  Curious how the bible is full of conditions for this supposed love, from blind obedience, to being willing to kill children. 

John’s years as a salesman (I guess that aerospace engineering didn’t pan out?) have taught him how to convince people that they need what he wants to sell them.  How perfect for a cult that needs to be sold to people.  He doesn’t go his way; he simply runs since he can’t show that his “product” is worth the cost.  It’s always fun when Christians claim it isn’t their fault when they fail, but have to insist that it’s this god’s problem now.
