[quote]I’m making a negative claim.[/quote]You're right. I was thinking about "positive" in terms of the person making the assertion, not the nature of the assertion, itself (is vs. is not). You made a negative assertion/claim, but in terms of what I'm getting at, you were the one who made the claim...
[quote]Foo's MO is to wait a few days and stealth reply, hoping you miss it. Caught him a several times pulling that shite.[/quote]That's false. I've got a very busy life these days. If you haven't noticed, I try to put some thought into my replies and not do what Displaced does with his drive...
[quote]I guess Foo is not going to comment on dinosaurs on the ark. I think you are doing yourself a disservice supporting that guy’s biblical interpretations. He’s a fruitcake.[/quote]Still waiting on you to show where my other argument was viciously circular. If we can get to some form of conclusi...
[quote]You shouldn't. I've told you many times that your "my god says so" arguments have no value.[/quote]So you don't want to engage with my arguments because you think they are garbage, and you don't care about me or my opinions. So why do you spend so much time responding to me? You waste quite a...
[quote]Man it’s not even about that though. It’s about the fact that Republicans have control RIGHT NOW in Arizona and are actively choosing to throw away a protection to life for those babies[/quote]This is the issue with the GOP. The GOP doesn’t run on good because they are afraid to lose. When...
Seems more like superstition than religion at this point. ...
[quote]Let’s move past your circular fallacies. We aren’t going to agree.[/quote]You don't have to agree with my arguments but you need to show me where my actual argument is a circular fallacy. You gave a false argument as attributed to me and I'm asking you to show where my actual argument is vici...
[quote]Positive assertions require positive evidence. The one making the allegation...is the one required to provide the evidence backing your assertion. ... I am pro-life and reject moral authority from God because God does not exist.[/quote]You are now making a positive claim that God does not e...
[quote]I don't really care what you want.[/quote]You spend more time focusing on me as a person and my personal wants and thoughts that you claim to have God-like insight to (while ignoring my truthful and direct statements to the contrary) than you do on any sort of arguments I present. I wonder wh...
[quote]Yes, it is. The only thing holding you back is your knowledge that you'd never get what you really want.[/quote]Again, no, it's not. I've already explained why it's not. I'm giving particular reasons for what I'm saying, and so far, you haven't given any reasons for why you disagree. You are ...
[quote]I'm just pointing out that the religious part of it goes out the window once the government wants to start killing any group of people. Or do you need faith in a higher power to know that is way beyond wrong? [/quote]I have to say that belief in the biblical God is required to truly [b]know[/...
[quote]Squirrelmeister[/quote]If you want to talk, you can start by responding to what I'm saying to you first. You can't just dodge the conversation entirely and expect me to go off-topic for your own amusement....
[quote]Are you going to pretend you didn't do that? Really?[/quote]I want you to demonstrate how you refuted what I was saying. You said I stormed off in a huff because you bested me. I'm not denying that I've given up trying to talk sense into you in the past. I'm just asking you to prove where you...
[quote]So you claim...[/quote] :rolleyes: [quote]It's a toned down version of the same thing.[/quote]It's really not. If we're going to be accurate, let's be accurate. You're already accusing me of lying because you can't believe that I haven't had the same personal experience you have had. I ima...
[quote]Do you think it's possible this being could manifest it self in different forms throughout the universe?[/quote]I'm not exactly sure what you mean by different forms. I believe in the God of the Bible that is one God in three persons. A singular God manifesting as one person in different form...
[quote]Does God have to be Christian....why? TBH I cantt even wrap my head around the concept of a prime mover...but let's roll with it.[/quote]I think only the Christian God can provide those conditions. I will say the "Christian" God as opposed to the post-Christ Jewish God, Muslim Allah, or Mormo...
[quote]It’s a begging the question fallacy. “God must exist for reality to be intelligible. Reality is intelligible. Therefore God exists.” He’s the master of the fallacy.[/quote] Clearly you don't actually understand what I'm arguing. Here's what I'm actually arguing: P1 Only God's exis...
[quote]Yes. At one point, you got so frustrated that you made a big show of announcing that you'd no longer participate in the discussion.[/quote]Link? Generally speaking, frustration at your unwillingness to have a good-faith discussion doesn't mean you've demonstrated that I'm wrong. It can ...
[quote]You have an incentive to obfuscate your intentions.[/quote]I actually have incentive to not obfuscate my intentions. I'm accountable to God for every word I speak (or type), and therefore I try to be careful with my speech and speak truthfully. Plus, there's no reason why I couldn't just admi...
[quote]Thats an interesting statement...please elaborate.[/quote]So this is based on the transcendental argument for God's existence that says God must exist or else the preconditions necessary for argumentation could not exist. To deny God is to deny what makes intelligibility possible. Everyone...
