COMPUTERS SMARTER THAN ATHEISTS
Even though computers aren't capable of rational thought and know nothing about morals, yet they have more sense than the most learned atheist. Case and point: The other day while working on a PC, I began deleting unwanted files. There was an html file that showed all of the TEN COMMANDMENTS. Since it was a duplicate file, I decided to delete it also. When I clicked "delete", the usual message came on the screen that said, "Are you sure you want to send the 'TEN COMMANDMETS' to the Recycle bin?" The question struck me very deeply because of how it was worded and for a moment I hesitated to delete the file. After clicking "yes", a message box came up on the screen that said an illegal act had been performed by a program. Now what atheist or heathen has sense enough to think as correctly as that unthinking computer. Atheists do not think it's an illegal act to try to destroy the TEN COMMANDMENTS.

What do we call this? "Argumentum ad Glitchium"?
Hahaha! Wow, that made me laugh. So Windows, which words things that way whenever you delete files, glitched out and you claim it's because the computer is sentient and has moral values? You're an asshole. Sorry, but Windows doesn't really compel me to think deeply about its error messages. Furthermore the "intelligence" you attribute to a computer is merely calculational ability. Not necessarily intelligence. But you won't understand that, now would you?
Believe me: your computer doesn't care. it doesn't care any more about your file named "Ten Commandments" than a number around 1000 digits long. Are some numbers more holy than others now?http://www.godlessgeeks.com/LINKS/GodProof.htm
Actually, what this shows is not that a computer has more sense than an atheist, but that a fundie has no more sense than a malfunctioning computer.in point." Please make a note of that.

Um...no. That "illegal act" thing was because you have allowed the Windows operating system on your PC to become old and corrupted. It's your fault dumbass, try some basic maintenance. Cause just like your brain, if you let it get cluttered with a bunch of useless crap and never defrag it, it goes all nutty on you.
Unless you're running some AI experiment, computers are simply not intelligent. I can't speak for all atheists, but I am not trying to get the 10 commandments destroyed, I just do not want to see them implemented. They exist as part of history, but the good ones are already laws (no murder, no theft) and most of the rest are bad ideas. No adultery is a good idea in my eyes, but it is hard to enforce and other people's adultry is really none of my business. No lying is often, but not always, a good idea, but also hard to enforce. Plus, it would put most politicans, salespersons, lawyers, advertizers, etc. out of work.
Who ever said we were trying to destoy the ten commandments? Besides that, what's the deal with everybody typing everything in all caps? It's annoying as shit. Anyways, your computer isn't affirming your faith, Bob, it's just a pile of shit.
Wow. Let's see.
Now what atheist or heathen has sense enough to think as correctly as that unthinking computer. Atheists do not think it's an illegal act to try to destroy the TEN COMMANDMENTS."
Hallelujah, my computer crashed. Now, if that isn't proof of a loving christian god, then I don't know what is!
So, if I delete spam and the computer produces the same message,have computers a degree on marketing and economy?, better, let´s suppose I delete an old language centre newsletter and the computer, again, does the same, are computers qualified to teach in Yale?. Who is the Einstein who wrote this nonsense?

They can't think, but they can think? Idiot.
Case and point:
Case in point, you mean.
The other day while working on a PC, I began deleting unwanted files. There was an html file that showed all of the TEN COMMANDMENTS. Since it was a duplicate file, I decided to delete it also. When I clicked "delete", the usual message came on the screen that said, "Are you sure you want to send the 'TEN COMMANDMETS' to the Recycle bin?"
Uh, yeah. So? When you delete something, it asks "are you sure?"
The question struck me very deeply because of how it was worded...
Oh, fuck! Is he really claiming that a computer is smart because it asked "Are you sure you want to delete this?," the way it does with every other file?
By the way, your computer was made by an atheist.
...and for a moment I hesitated to delete the file.
This is pitiful. They see something they've seen many times before, suddenly label it a "sign from God" and stop their lives (if only briefly) because of it.
After clicking "yes", a message box came up on the screen that said an illegal act had been performed by a program.
That means it crashed. Computers do that, especially those that run Windows.
Now what atheist or heathen has sense enough to think as correctly as that unthinking computer.
So... a computer that doesn't think is smarter than an atheist because it crashed?
Of course, this assumes you're not merely Lying for Jesus.
Atheists do not think it's an illegal act to try to destroy the TEN COMMANDMENTS.
*THUD!* That multi-thousand page tome is the US federal law. Show me where it says that destroying a copy of the 10 commandments is illegal.
Oh, people call me Daffy,
As stated in the previous comment, it just means you're using a poor operating system. Check out ubuntu. Before you call it the work of satan, its open source. Check it for any hidden satanic content. While you're at it get a sense of logic.
You know... A friend sent me a picture of a very old man sitting on a toilet crapping as he faked being a baby in toilet training being raped by the corpse of a puppy disguised as an old man... I tried to delete it but I couldn't... I must guess then that god wanted me to keep unwanted necrozoopederasty?
Too bad Windows 98/ME is known to do this. "Illegal Operation" means a memory fault, and the operation you were doing (deleting) could not continue.
"Atheists do not think it's an illegal act"
And they're right: it's not. If your computer had miraculously changed this bog-standard error message to say "IMMORAL act", then I'd be much more impressed. And quite freaked out. And your laughably sad argument (based on a common error by a crap OS) might make some kind of sense. Because you do realize that it doesn't as it is, right?
Also, what does YHWH have against recycling?
Hmm... I wish we could get an upgrade.
I hear God V 2.1 thoroughly kicks the arse of the old operating system.
The old one had a tendency to malfunction, causing mass plagues and the odd inexplicable paradox.
"Upgrade to your latest god OS now, and receive a free 'Dummies guide to spirituality' with your purchase.
The new, easier to use, God V 2.1 includes a handy English manual* with simple language. This manual has even been modified to incorporate explanations of the unofficial pirated 'Dinosaur' software that was left out of earlier manuals.
It also includes chapters such as 'Why God was such cruel bastard to Job - no it wasn't a bet' and 'Crucifixes aren't just for kicks'.
*May contain traces of dogma. If confusion persists, see your priest.
Just maybe your computer was running a sub system that did something illegal? Or just maybe the computer encountered a sys logic error (faulty coding isn't something new), or just maybe your OS is terrible?
See your problem is you sent them to the "Recycling" bin.
God hates recycling... He annihilates things and starts over!
(Just look at how many sets of 10 commandments there's been for starters)
One time, I was on the computer and I found an old document called "recipes for lasagna". I tried to send it to the Recycle bin and it said "Are you sure you want to send "recipes for lasagna" to the Recycle bin. I clicked yes.
Moral of the story? God hates lasagna.
So he had the file open.
Praise God
Weird! My computer did the exact same thing with some of my porn!
Clearly, computers are more intelligent than we give them credit for.
But surely, this guy was himself, trying to delete the ten commadments,
thick shit contradicting himself.
You make me cry................with tears of laughter
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
