FACT: Atheists are Lost

Wow. I give straight forward views and questions. And you manage to ignore the main part, only to point out the most irrelevant part of the whole post. You are full of fail!

 

Slipping down to the emotional level now I see. OK.

Good, then you are starting to realize that God is not materialistic but rather spiritual. That is a step in the right direction.... Congratulations.

 

Once again... Isn't it nice to be able to express opinions that are totally devoid of any PROOF? What point is there in spreading the 'good word' in the presence of those that have a preconceived notion that has become so ingrained within their psyche that they will denounce anything that you say. Remember 'free will' according to you leads you to doing exactly what the Lord has planned out... and there is nothing that you or me or anyone else can do to change those things.... so quit complaining.

 

Straight forward views... from your perspective. Do you truly believe I don't think my views are straight forward as well?

 

Even those you haven't committed yet? How wonderfully convenient for you that you have a pre-paid pass to "heaven" (whatever it is and wherever it may reside )

As for where that places me, its obvious.

Exactly where I am, having to live with my sins and any regrets/guilt about them until the day I die.

Of course your list of what constitutes sin and mine varies wildly.

 

Every encounter with you has turned out to be quite hilarious.

Just a note here, if being known as the dictionary game player offends you perhaps you should try a new tactic such as ... oh, I don't know ... um ... maybe actually debating the issues... and then you will gain the reputation of being the debater not dictionary game player.

 

Still waiting for you to answer the question incorporeal.

Aren't you a Christian?

 

I see that you have a problem with dictionaries. As far as I know there is no official game to be found wherein the dictionary is the primary instrument of the game. Is it a board game, a card game, some form of physical activity such as football or baseball, perhaps an intellectual game wherein one is challenged to provide his/her understanding of the meaning of words? Or is it perhaps a science.. such as the science of semantics? Here is an interesting article that reflects on these issues: http://web.eecs.umich.edu/~rthomaso/documents/general/what-is-semantics.html

BTW: to be offended is to slip into an emotional state. For you to suggest that I have slipped into such a state of mind, then perhaps you can also point out where that event took place.

 

I'm agnostic. What it means is "I Don't Know And By Gawd You Don't Either!"

 

Why are you so afraid to answer the question. It only has 2 possible answers. Those answers are yes you are or no you aren't.

 

How gifted you must be to know what I know.

 

You don't KNOW whether or not there's a god and you don't KNOW whether or not there's any form of existence after physical death. I won't embarrass you by asking you to prove anything.

 

It would likely be equally embarrassing to you for him to require you to show PROOF of your claim that you know what he knows or does not know. You have emphatically declared "You don't know....." thereby making declaration that you have positive knowledge of what he "don't know".

 

You are correct the game is not an official one as you actually have the audacity to pretend it is a legitimate debating tactic.. but no one is fooled and I suspect after having been told that too many times to mention you are well aware of it also. But it seems the game suites your intentions I suppose so I'm sure you'll continue using it.

Seems if it were not real then you simply would have not responded to it. Perhaps this post is the evidence you seek.

 

That's more than likely one of the most intelligent things you've ever said and it's about as clear as mud. Nobody knows if there's a god and nobody knows if there's life after death. PERIOD!

 

Have they never heard of TomTom?

 

You are correct in that I will continue using "it". On another note: This forum does not subscribe to any formal rules of debate. So try barking up another tree with that poor example of a rationalization.

Even though this is not a court of law, there is a legal maxim that when party "A" makes a claim, that claim has to be rebutted by party "B", else party "B" is considered to be in acquiescence with the claim. My actions of making a response are legally justified.

 

Keep killing those straw men buddy. Whatever I think about you, is irrelevant as well.

 

Yes sir. That about sums up your argument style... Does not subscribe to any formal rules of debate". And now you are using the forums lack of rules to justify it. Lol

 

Now you have gone overboard. You are now declaring to know the mind of every man, woman and child on the planet Earth. Are you some sort of super-psychic? The epitome of mind-readers? Are you Omniscient?

Pretty neat, isn't it? One nice, neat, little package. It works though.

 

It is not neat at all. Im not sure what you mean with the package metaphor.

Does it work? You have proved nothing and flame-baited almost everyone. Basically you have a lack of integrity and just want to argue without rules. I suggest xbox live, there are lots of 10 year olds that use the same tactics, you should get along great!

 

Well, the 'neatness' of it is obviously a matter of opinion. You have yours and I and others have mine and theirs. Isn't that a wonderful thing... to be able to express opinions? The package metaphor is synonymous with your use of the "argument style".

Yes it does work... it works for the purpose that it serves. My intention does not include proving anything. If you think that I am flame baiting everyone, I would have to argue that point. As an example, just yesterday I picked up a new friend on this forum. Now do you really thing that the new friend would agree to a forum friendship if I were flame baiting him? Be honest now. Apparently you have visited xbox live, how else would you know what type of people were there? Unfortunately, I don't use xbox and I don't even have any games or game files on my computer. Oh well.

 

I am not the one trying to "rationalize" it, that would be you.

And you are correct you can continue to do it, but it has not now, nor will it ever, garnish you any respect it is simply seen as a cheap ploy to avoid addressing the actual points showing the fallacy of your arguments.

You can continue to play your game all you want but you will never gain what it is you seek...

No one takes you serious when you resort to these childish games.

No one is impressed by these dodges.

No one actually needs you to copy and paste the dictionary terms of words used that you distort into meanings never intended by the original user, we all know what was intended and suspect you did also.

Even though it can be painful to the ego to be presented with facts that contradict your particular position, resorting to games does nothing except provide you with a way to avoid the glaring impracticability of your stated position.

Try admitting when you are wrong you'll actually gain respect that way... not through these childish games!

 

I'm not embarrassed to tell you what I know. I know you are wrong. Proof is for you to find, not for me to give. I owe you nothing.

That's right, out of left field, but correct none the less.

 

Mark 16:

…16"He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 17"These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
