You are right, Rickey: you are a wretched man and a slave. But I am not sure why you are telling this to me. First, I already know that; and second, and I do not care.

@MayCaesar Yes, homo's and lesbo's and trans were especially fond of revealing leather....policed the queer community of "The Montrose" in Houston, TX on four-different shifts...atheist inundated - demonically oriented - Hell in Time. So you're NOT LGBTQIA++?

As much as it might shock you, I am perfectly straight. More than straight: I only am interested in Asian women!
I am genuinely interested in the kind of policing you have to do to routinely find out people's sexuality. Do you ask them for naughty videos?

@MayCaesar When policing a homosexual community, you're not required to "routinely find out people's sexuality"....they wear it proudly though I was required, at times, to ask if the trans suspect was fully castrated so that I knew what holding-cell to place them into subsequent arrival at the jail. Some had breast augmentation - implants but maintained a penis...at that time we had not accommodations for that perverse form mental, spiritual, illness.

You have made lots of assertions - and called Rickey lots of names. You have indeed claimed numerous times in multiple debate threads that there is no god. As sure as @MayCasesar will make a science of the gaps appeal as soon as he is confronted with evidence of a miracle, you will claim that there is no God.
You haven't paid attention to my claims about your weak moral value system. I have pointed out that as an atheist you have no objective moral source for values. So everyone does what he wants and what he thinks best. You worship 'scientism', but science stands against so many of your beliefs - such as the creation of the universe. I can't begin to tell you how many atheists have said that the universe came from nothing. That is logically impossible. I've read at least 2 dozen different theories from scientists about how the universe was created - its not that there aren't theories - there just aren't any that are scientifically sound. Go ahead mention a theory - and I will find you articles and post links from other atheist scientists who trash that theory into obliteration. You mock people of faith when they appeal to an unseen God, but you appeal to what is essentially magic for the creation of the universe. That's not science, that's make believe.

Lol. Are you blind? There are several of people around here that are Christians. Many of which have posted in same debates as yours. just_sayin being one of them. Is he not a true Christian?
So, you don't have anything to hide you claim? That is interesting because almost everyone has something to hide from public. But you claim to have nothing to hide. hmmmm? Kinda reminds me of Jimmy Savile who was very public would claim he had nothing to hide as well.

The reply provided by your opponent does not directly address your question regarding the alleged correlation between atheism and homosexuality, nor does it engage with the concern over sweeping generalizations. Instead, it shifts the discussion toward the moral and spiritual dichotomies between believers and non-believers, framing the debate in terms of allegiance to divine or malevolent forces. Here are some critical aspects to consider when evaluating this response:
1. Logical Fallacies
2. Lack of Empirical Evidence
The claim about the alignment of atheism with specific behaviors or identities lacks empirical evidence. Studies on religious belief, sexual orientation, and moral behavior show a complex interplay of factors, with no direct causal relationship between atheism and any particular sexual orientation.
3. Moral and Ethical Assertions
While the response is rich in moral and ethical assertions from a Christian perspective, these assertions do not constitute evidence in a logical argument. Moral and ethical beliefs are subjective and vary widely across different cultures and religious backgrounds.
4. Sweeping Generalizations
The original question about generalizing atheists as homosexuals (or implying a significant overlap without evidence) remains unaddressed. Making broad generalizations about any group without substantial, representative data is logically unsound and can contribute to stereotypes and misunderstandings.
Conclusion
As a logical argument, the response is problematic. It does not engage with the original question about generalizations but instead uses ad hominem attacks and presents a false dichotomy between good and evil as defined by one specific religious belief system. Such an approach does not foster constructive debate or understanding but rather deepens divides. In a rational debate, arguments should ideally focus on addressing the specific points raised, providing evidence where claims are made, and avoiding personal attacks or moral judgments that cannot be universally applied.

At this point I'd say no. When I first 'fell' from grace I did entertain the thought for a brief time but then dismissed it. Though it's possible new discoveries can give rise to such thoughts. Right now there just doesn't appear to be anything evidential to believe something would intentionally create and watch it with total indifference anymore so then a creator who's active. The only thing I can conceive of is as astronomical as the odds were, and given the nature of things as we are able to understand to date, energy producing matter was just inedible to produce life eventually. I think the bare roots of the issue is there obviously is an energized force that eventually produced life as we know. The easy answer is 'god did it' but the hard answer in reality may never be known.
