Surely if the 5 Ways have been so thoroughly debunked as skeptics claim it shouldn't  be too hard to rise to the challenge.


Sorry I haven't been following this thread, but can you tell me what the "it" is which you cannot do for a couple weeks?  Just curious.

Lol he's challenging people to a debate over the five ways . That would be hilarious considering it's been done to death.

And I have read the last debate Wooter was a train wreck and he won on a technicality .

A formal debate takes a fair amount of time and effort. I was in the middle of a bathroom remodel when the drain line above my unit broke so now I have no sink with running water in my apartment. On top of that I am managing the relocation of 9 mentally ill deaf people and that requires my full attention during 12 hour days. So my time for debating is extremely limited, but I so sick of hearing people like Tiz repeatedly claim the 5W have been "debunked". He needs to either put up or shut up.

Wait a minute. I thought all you had to do was yell debunked....and insult them. You know...show off the old critical thinking!

Fuck, dude, you don't have to betray your own ignorance so overtly. If you don't want to bother to do the fucking research that shows all your bullshit has been debunked six trillion ways from Sunday for centuries if not millennia, that's your intellectual laziness shining through. Saying you don't care, well, that's your intellectual and moral dishonesty shining through. See how this works?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
