I believe he was saying all that to the OP. I could be wrong though. You could ask him to clarify, but I'm going to go with the one that sounds better to me.

How is this not a logical position?
What else do you suggest which doesn't involve infinite regress?
That is a possibility,
BUT NOT AN ESTABLISHED FACT!!!
I often find you atheist types tend to try to con people into thinking
your speculative opinions are hardcore established facts!!
I say that is DISHONEST!!
For thousands upon thousands of years it is said
the great cultures of the world have thought of life and reality as
MIRACULOUS
You have NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE they were all incorrect.
All you tend to have are your BLIND FAITH OPINIONS that you con people into thinking are actual facts
You just said "that is a possibility".
Did I just hear a theist tell me that there is a possibility that his God, the creator of everything, had no involvement in the formation of gravity! My goodness. Belief in a God who is not omni everything! Wow, you're a lousy theist. Don't stress, we like the cafe variety. They're stupid, but harmless to society...
Next question, is there a tiny possibility that dinosaurs are real?
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

I;m just as confused by this revision as purposeless as I was by the previous use of meaningless, and I'm still wondering who it is that assumes it was random or chance?
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.

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.

You're one of the retired staff here? Guess that makes you one of the un-holy family, right?

I'm no door mat for atheist or Christian, I pick my battles not start them. In the past I did start some battles and nothing good ever came of that. I'm stubborn and stick to my beliefs because they make me who I am and frankly I like who I am for the most part. I'm like everyone else and need improvement and try to find it so I can be a better person to and for others.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Okay, well, adding them together doesn't help me understand why they even feature. Help me make sense of their use in connection to the ideas of gravity as a result of x.
Gravity was the result of purpose/fulness.
Gravity was the result of meaning/fulness.

No how about we don't
How about were nice to people who aren't idiots
My post was for the OP not the atheist and why can't we show a bit of friendliness to everyone, would that really hurt or do you have a need to embarrass those you consider beneath you. I understand when some act like a couple have here in the last few days, a good swift kick we hope would jar them to their senses.

If it makes you feel any better, the recent string of theistic chew toys is making me appreciate the long-term theist members here more. 
Then again, they are fun to laugh at. You're starting to look boring now. Tell me a joke.
