I’m curious, do you participate in any other online forums? The reason I ask is because your hand waving dismissal of atheists is very familiar.
Careful. You don’t want to eat some sinful food, so make sure it tastes awful.
I love how it’s the atheists against the believers instead of the empiricist against the credulous.
Perhaps if you posted some facts and cites…
You aren’t winning some arguments and falling behind because of the press of countless atheists. You are utterly failing every time.
You shouldn’t pretend that if there were fewer atheists in the thread you would be able to debate them logically.
There is no evidence for God. None. There is no biblical prophecy that is accurate. You can’t logically argue for what you believe, because it is utterly illogical.
Combat? All you’ve done is make unsupported or clearly false claims and then try to argue that you don’t need any support, evidence, or semblance of a coherent thought train. How is that combat?
Sinner.:mad:
Well since I’ve never once seen an atheist admit that a Christian is right on any point, even a fact would be disputed here. What’s the next argument? Sex with multiple partners is not harmful at all?
Christians are right that murder is a bad thing. But that isn’t something that only Christians know.
So pretending that you have an argument, but aren’t going to waste it on us, is hardly compelling. It’s exactly the same thing we’d expect if you didn’t have an argument at all.
And sex with multiple partners *might *be bad. Especially if the dude is hella big and has no wang control.
What does that have to do with the topic of this thread?
Now *that *is sin. Or at least primordial Evil.
I’m not denying there are some salad-enjoying preverts out there. Sick fucks :p.
But I do dispute the assumption that “this tastes good to us because our body needs it”. It looks too much like a just-so story for me to believe it on the merits. Especially considering that people do have varied tastes, and people demonstrably can live without much in the way of high fat or high sugar foodstuff, not to mention we most definitely can live without high sodium. Fish is about as healthy and protein-rich as lean meat, but fish tastes like…well, fish. Spices are of a dubious nutritional value if any, but they were always extremely valuable because they make stuff taste so much better. Etc, etc.
Nope, I proposed a spiritual explanation, and even admited in the OP that atheists will reject this so why are you asking me for evidence that you’re going to reject anyways? If I had known this forum was predominantly anti-Christian, I wouldn’t have bothered.
The sad reality is most of the posters here are resulting to dodges, half truths, insults, mocking, and outright lies. Typical atheist MO.
Try it. You’ve made a bunch of claims - not just about God, but about science and evolution - that you should back up. I’m not saying people will accept what you’re saying, but if you want to have an actual discussion, this is what you should be doing.
I don’t think you’ve earned the right to get this sarcastic in this discussion. But frankly, no, sex with multiple partners isn’t necessarily harmful and eating a burger a month isn’t going to damage your health.
I’m not talking about individual preferences in food. We evolved the ability to taste food, and we enjoy sugary foods because the ability to find foods that are high in sugar and gave us energy helped us survive. That’s not a coincidence.
If I’m going to spend time digging up cites and references, I want to know that the other person is at least willing to consider evidence with an open mind. Otherwise, it’s a waste of time.
You’re not allowed to accuse other posters of lying in this forum. Saying they have posted something false (a lie told by someone else, for example), is allowed, but you can’t say the posters themselves are lying. Please don’t do this again.
You have yet to offer any evidence. So what makes you think we wouldn’t accept it?
Typical Christian MO.
So what you’ve seen becomes dogma for all atheists? How does that work.
In any event, I’ve admitted to Christians that they are right on several points that I have argued. I’m not infallible, after all.
I’ve not only admitted it in the past, I’ve thanked them for it. If someone corrects my misconceptions they are doing me a favor. I’ve had some interesting and productive discussions with theists on this board before, I don’t think less of people just because they are religious. How someone treats other people is more important to me than their beliefs.
Would that be as weak as the Ukraine in Kramer and Newman’s game of Risk?
While forgiving folks often does not come easily to me, I can forgive just about anything upon a sincere apology.
Unlike the Big Daddy in the Sky friend of the OP, I don’t require someone else to suffer and die for the offense as part of the arrangement.
