Calling Christians "godbots" And Spelling Bible "buybull" Isn't Going To Further Your Argument.
Instead, it's going to make you look like an ignorant ass who can't come up with anything besides a pathetic and hopeless string of ad hominems.

The sooner atheist zealots like Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, and all others like them and all those who blindly presuppose that every word that comes out of their mouths is empirical truth figure this out the better it will be for both sides.

I agree. Godbots sounds kinda funny though. Of course people aren't normally joking in the context they were used.

I agree with the statement, but, the comment underneath is no better. Insult has no place in debate.

Of course it won't make my argument any better, but it is entertaining and it counters for the Christians telling us we're damned to hell if we don't repent NOW.

True, but better that the religious get a rise out of words than out of children.

I agree Mark. Intelligent points should be used, and godbot or buybull are certainly not intelligent arguments.

True, but by the time you have to resort to that, there isn't much of an argument going on anyhow. Anyone who could be appropriately termed a "godbot" isn't capable of having an argument because they aren't capable of considering anything outside of their dogmatic religious views.

Once it gets to that point, it's not worth continuing.

 Yes, but according to k9, all Christians are godbots. What a baby.

It does nothing for the argument except cheapen it. It is an ineffective way of proving a point. It is a device used to irritate the opponent and it only works if you get irritated. So don't get so irritated by it. Take the high road and your argument looks and is stronger.

 “You can say what you have to say,
'Cause my mind's made up anyway,
I'm taking the high road, going above you,
This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you”

- Lyrics from the song High Road by Fort Minor

Sorry about that. I usually place lyrics into posts from songs belonging to Linking Park (or Fort Minor in this instance) when someone references to something pertaining to that particular song (intentionally or not).

Of course it isn't,
the same way telling atheist and homosexuals that they are damned to hell,

instead of calling names and making pointless remarks they should come up with something intelligent to back a point that they have made.

I have to disagree. I agree with Sam Harris that it is high time to demand of these people that they put up or shut up. I see no reason to be nice to them once they have opened their mouths in public. They are willing to offend at will feeling like God is behind them without once considering the feelings of the people around them who have different opinions. I hadn't heard "Godbot" before; I really like it.

I say, feel free to use these terms the same way the bible thumpers use "heathen", "pagan" and "sinner". It's high time they got a taste of their own medicine.

Actually I think those comebacks are pretty clever! Maybe intolerant religious-to-the-max people like you just can't appreciate comedy.

The only reason anyone if giving u any problems is because u start debates like

We Exist
and
Everything Would Be fine If We Just Follow The Ten Commandments
and
If You Are In Favor Of Allowing Women To Abort Their Children Before They're Born, You Should Also Be In Favor Of Women Killing The Child After It Is Born
and
People In The Middle Ages Did Not Think The Earth Was Flat.

The list goes on!?!?!
No one likes you!
And yes people in the middle ages thought the earth was flat!!!!!
