So you admit to the sophistry and all around idiocy of your posts then? Sweet. 2/3 isn't bad, you're almost there.
Is that the conclusion you arrived at?
Dishonesty can be proven... sophistry and idiocy are just a matter of opinion, usually from those that have no argument...

You were whining that I was being dishonest. If you're truly opposed to dishonesty then I can provide plenty of examples of atheists being dishonest, and if YOU'RE being Honest, you'll deride them in the same manner in which you do me, right?

I won't hold my breath...

like I said, Find just one example of me being dishonest (here's a hint, there aren't any) and I'll provide at least ten instances of dishonesty from your fellow atheists....

Deal?

It's tough to be an honest man surrounded by liars.  Jerkoff
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!

I do say that.

Problem is, you got fucking owned on that rhetorical point.

Do you find it hard being the only honest man alive when people constantly tell you you're being a reprehensible, dishonest fuck? That's so cool, I might've developed a crush.

Edit: Almost forgot; there aren't any examples of you being dishonest on these forums? Ok.

*looks a mere two pages back*

No. You've never been so dishonest as to knowingly misrepresent another forum member's words in the attempt to score a petty personal point. That's so beneath one of your stature isn't it?

Fucking christ you're delusional.

So....

You expected us to point out the fallacy you made and notice how you dishonestly quote mined Sam Harris and posted it anyway?

Great plan. 12/11 for effort, and a big F for being a disingenuous asshole.

By the way, I'm keeping my fucking promise Randy.

Randy, and all xtians are blatant racists. One of them said it, that means they all believe it.

Racist.

That's the best you can come up with?

Take off those rose colored, coke-bottled bifocals for just a second and read it again. you'll notice that Esquilax was misrepresenting ME and I called him on it...

Now THAT is a bald faced lie.
We already know you have a selective memory, how about providing the link to support to that claim?
Actually, I did misremember slightly: we weren't talking about rape, but slavery.The word "slave" does not appear, and therefore it cannot be slavery.
How can I misrepresent what he said when it was never true in the first place? Are you saying that I'm misrepresenting a misrepresentation? ROFLOL

As far a slavery goes I already responded to that in my last post.

Great job, your best example of me being dishonest is calling out Esquilax on his dishonesty.  Rolleyes

Anyway I'll provide 10 examples of dishonesty (later today) from your fellow atheists as promised...
