I came here to watch two morons debate about fairytales and I don't feel I'm getting my moneys worth.
If the tediousnous of this thread were to increase by anymore it'd tear the universe asunder.

But haven't you been reading? You are not getting a debate. GC has already chickened out.

Ah but was he chickening out of a one on one debate or a cluster fuck? Think about it.
To be fair I think this has been arranged like this on purpose. Grene makes an invite for a "one on one" debate with some well known theists of the forum in a thread where any amount of people can chip in. Then he points to his opponents going "Look, look how cowardly they are! They don't dare pit themselves against the whole foru- I mean me... :-)".
If he had seriously wanted a real debate he would have arranged it via private messaging and asked Tiberius to make a private thread only the participants can use.
This is chestpounding of the most pathetic sort, pure and simple.

Haven't you been reading? That is exactly what he has done - requested Tiberius for a one-on-one debate in the Debate forum where no one other than the participants can chip in. That's what GC has been consistently chickening out of.

Yes, I have.
This being the case why has he not simply waited for a response from Tiberius and through private messaging actually asked GC if he agrees to the terms as opposed to this rather undignified display?
What purpose has this thread served other than a platform for cringe makingly arrogant show voting?

You know what? I don't usually waste time with pre-pubescent upstarts but fuck it. I'll take GCs place. The debate will not be in defence of the Bible, it will be on the validity of Grenes claim that his bastardised brand of Christianity does not depend on the concept of the supernatural and if this is the case whether it can still make claims to be Christianity.
That is if he can stop masturbating long enough to unblock me and get his acne ridden ass into a private thread.
Assuming he accepts I will take great pleasure in this, I assure you.

(Someone reply to this so theres no possibility he could of missed it. Thank you.)

Why do you people bother?
Why do you keep writing here so I come looking for anything new?
Why?

(PS: this was just a friendly reply )

My understanding is that he does have a response from Tib and that he is issuing GC with an open challenge, i.e., one where both the challenge and the response would be visible to all.

Go right ahead. No skin off my nose.

If you reject that particular piece of bullshit why even bother to call yourself a xtian?

The resurrection is a fable in the Christian culture. You don't have to believe it happened in order to practise the faith. My former Archbishop of York (the second highest in CoE hierarchy) denied even the existence of the historical Jesus. He denied more than the resurrection. Would you call him a non-Christian?? Surely not. Let's get real!!!!

Actually, yes. He's no more of a xtian than I am. Xtians certainly do not adhere to the alleged teachings of their godboy. In fact, in no other religion is there a wider gap between the observable way they act and the principles they profess to follow. If you then also subtract out the silly supernatural shit that they claim to believe, what's left? Or more to the point, why bother?

Once again, thanks for putting me in the position of having to agree with the crazies on the board. I really appreciate it.

Folksies!!!!

Sir Greneknight of the Round Table and Sir RaphielDrake will be fighting a battle in the Formal Debate section. Come one, come all to witness the BATTLE OF THE CENTURY!!!

We're ironing out the details at the moment!!!!!!
