Hey Stoneburg, you gutless, lying pusbag...

You posted this:

*Aha, so my suspicion was correct. I can summarise your beliefs for you yguy, and by doing so I think it is obvious why you prefer not to state them:

You’re anti-abortion on religious grounds.
You’re a creationist.
You’re anti-gay on religious grounds.

From the beginning you have misrepresented your case. *

You are more than welcome to make an idiot of yourself in a vain attempt to substantiate the above, you lamentable paragon of poltroonery. :slight_smile:
You care not about science other then to use the standard creationist tactics to miscredit it. Those attacks are based on flaws in your system of belief by the way, not science. So, please, stop trying to justify your opinions with nonsense and just say what you mean: “Abortion is wrong, being gay is a sin, the earth was created 5800 years ago. I know this because it says so in the bible and I have a gut feeling it is true.”

LOL!! :smiley: :smiley:

What a moron. And here I was thiking this place would be devoid of entertainment value. :slight_smile:

Kindly substantiate your claim that I am “anti-abortion and anti-gay on religious grounds”, that I “have misrepresented my case”, that I believe “the Earth was created 5000 years ago”, and that I believe all this “because it says so in the bible and I have a gut feeling it is true”…

…or stand exposed as the craven, prevaricating scoundrel you are. :slight_smile:

Hey, yguy, could you use the quote coding in your posts when quoting other posters? It makes things easier to follow. Ta.

My impression is that Stoneburg identified yguy’s stripes pretty accurately.

Hello.

So, I stated that my conclusion was that:

You’re anti-abortion on religious grounds.
You’re a creationist.
You’re anti-gay on religious grounds.

Let’s see if I interpret this quote from you right:

I am not familliar with some of the phrases, like “lamentable paragon” or ‘poltroonery’ (even though I note that simmilar patterns emerge in your posts when you start to lose the argument more obviously), but I am assuming that what you really just want is for me to back up what I said.

Let’s first establish the “religious” grounds. You refer on multiple occasions in your post to a ‘Creator’, and claim that the ‘soul’ decides what is moral. Throughout the thread this seems to be where your views on abortion stem from so I will just assume that you won’t argue that A) You’re against abortion, and B) It is because of religious beliefs. That leaves creationism and negativity towards homosexuality.

Creationism

I am not familliar with any other view that contradicts the theory of evolution, other then creationism. I therefore assume that anyone not believing in evolution is a creationist. The standard belief in creationism is based on a calculation of the generations in the bible which results in the earth being aproximately 5800 years old (and created on 13:th November at around 14:00 I think).

Of course, you not believing in evolution does not equal you being a creationist, it is just by far the most common thing. I asked you to clarify what you believed in, you didn’t, your response to that was simply “Why?”.

Homosexuality

Do I need to explain this?

I’m not exactly sure what a “craven, prevaricating scoundrel” is, but I doubt I am or will be exposed as one (unless it contradictory to my assumption means really cute and nice guy). I mentioned in one of my posts a list submitted by someone on this board that had 6 points if I recall correctly, about how creationists behave when they come here. I distinctly recall this (ie: this thread and its intent) being one of the points near the end. I’m actually going to be so smug as to pat myself on the back and claim that by reacting as you have, you have pretty much proven me right.

And the insults hurt. Yes, I am gutless (but how did YOU know that, you don’t even know me!), but I only lie in extremely rare cases and usually only to my mother. Pusbag? Don’t even know what that is so I’ll just assume I am not. However, am I to assume that you have passed the point where you can (almost) argue rationally and we are to witness the final “Go down in flames” spectacle that tends to be the swan song of your ilk?
To everyone else:
Sorry about casuing a thread in the Pit. I was careful to read the user agreement when I signed up and had every intention to stay out of trouble, I now feel embarrased to have ended up as a ‘cause’ of a Pitting (even though I believe it is unjustified). I apologise for the disturbance and added sum total of grief on the forum.

Well, that clears it up for me. Nice work, Stoneburg.

BTW: if this is representative of your posting style, you are neither a pusbag nor gutless. And you get extra points for politeness. Postulations of prevarication are pointedly premature.

Wow. I knew that GD thread was going to lead to a Pitting, but I assumed yguy would be on the receiving end.

It’s not too late to turn this one around, is it?

I think lamentable paragon of poltroonery would make a great name for a jam band.

<80s non-groover checking in>
Papa’s Got A Brand New Pusbag . . . yeah, yeah, yeah, baby, shake it, shake it !
</laters>

It looks like we have a great new addition to the boards.

And it ain’t the OP.

You lie to your mother? What a terrible, evil son you are. After all the pain she went through to give birth to you and raise you! :smiley:

Welcome to the boards, Stoneburg. I think you’ll like it here.

You have nothing to apologize for, Stoneburg. You acquitted your call to the pit with a decisive rebuttal of the charges, with wit and with humility. Wecome to the boards.

…er, CoFR Stoneburg?

If so, small world.

sigh
and here I got all excited…

returns to corner and waits patiently to be pitted

Stonebow, if I promise to pit you, will you promise not to make me look like an absolute tool, the way Stoneburg has done to yguy?

HAW, HAW, HAW!

So, who wants to bet this thread isn’t going the way the OP thought it would?

yguy, if you claim that stoneburg is lying then perhaps you would care to refute his claims, rather than calling him names?

stoneburg, that is the most polite evisceration of an OP I have ever had the pleasure of seeing on these boards. Although I’m two months late, welcome!

And I do mean evisceration: given the OP’s current failure to show back up to his (?) thread and his previous failure to detail his views, his accusing you of gutlessness is ironic, in the most Alanis Morisette meaning of the word.

Daniel

Somebody accuse me of being a left-wing Bush hater so I can pit them. :wink:

The soul does not decide what is moral, it discerns it.

There’s the problem. You cannot observe that I am against abortion, and that I have “religious beliefs”, and proceed to assume that the first is based on the second without more justification than you have shown.

Not doing very well so far, are you?

And you figured that, in the absence of a substantive answer, it made sense to jump to a conclusion which fit comfortably with your prejudices. Brilliant.

I rather believe so. Again, when you claim my opposition to homosexuality is based on my “religious beliefs”, you have drawn an inference that cannot be supported by the facts at your disposal.

Keep thinkin’ happy thoughts, weasel. Can’t hurt me. :slight_smile:

Good. That is rather what I had in mind. I take great umbrage to the accusation that I do not argue my position in good faith.

Please. This thread will go 500 pages before I break a sweat. :slight_smile:

Finally, let me remind you that you have failed to address your contentions that I have “misrepresented my position” and that I believe all this “because it says so in the bible and I have a gut feeling it is true”…

Bring it on, bitch. :slight_smile:
