Pass.

I dont use expressions like ''fat chicks'' or skepchicks.

Alright, ladies of a large disposition. Better?
They sometimes have a "yurk factor" too, are they abominations?

Ah so you enjoy the philosobabble!

I doubt we'll be seeing much of each other if that's the case Tongue

I'm sure you're the one who's going to buck the trend though right? Wink


Welcome.

Thanks Napoleon. (Cool cat etc etc.)

Yay!
Did I win a prize or something?
You win a retort.
er... no... no. It isn't a basis to conclude that at all. No-one ever having obtained any evidence of a Minnow even existing would be though.
I'm also fairly certain you'd still be able to tell a nail from say... a patient in an operating theatre. I think you'd notice your tool isn't ideal for the circumstance so you'd see that you need to obtain some knowledge of the anatomy and a scalpel to even begin tackling that problem. You wouldn't just go "oh well" and start hammering away at the patients stomach. I would suggest that science is the scalpel and religion is the hammer.
Your analogies kind of fall flat.

Hi All,
Another friendly theist for your ranks. Greetings!

I love respectful dialogue and free speech - the contest of ideas.
Philosophy, AvT, ethics/morality, the "New Atheism" phenomenon.
(bold mine)

Hmmm, I for one am not paused by whatever 'not respectfull dialogue' there may be. However, take a look at the embolded part of my quote, it is a contradiction: not respectfull dialogue is still speech, since you also love free speech, you deny the latter. But I diverge, so:

Welcome

Respectful dialogue and free speech are not mutually exclusive.
Dialogue.

RE: Hi All - From Lion IRC
Both much more precise tools than were used prior to their manufacture -which would be a heavy rock-.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Yeah, don't think a hammer is present in the picture. Fairly certain thats not a demonstration of a modern medical procedure. Also not entirely clear on why you're objecting to a fictional and clearly misguided procedure carried out on another place other than on the head. Not even sure as to the relevance of this in relation to anything to be honest.

Oh no, I got the analogy. I was just attempting to politely and subtly point out it was farcical nonsense and giving reasons why thats the case.

Could you also answer my question regarding ladies of a larger position and the "yurk factor".

Indeed not,but neither is respectful speech a condition of free speech.. In fact,nobody has the right NOT to be offended.


MY expectations were based on experience, which actually matters in assessing the probable behaviour of others.Indeed, it can be a matter of life and death. So far,all I see is just another common-or-garden-variety Christian apologist,whose beliefs are faith based. IE 'faith based' refers to beliefs based on authority rather than proof and may be dismissed out of hand by rational people.
