Honestly? I dunno. I'm not an astrophyicist. And the earth is the only place that I've been in the universe... But, I'm sure we could find a subject I know quite a bit more about.

And we, or most of us say things from time to time that are: off subject, emotional, unintentional, away from our knowledge base, or outright dumb.

But, I own anything I say. You won't see me back peddle or deny it. I can laugh just as well at myself, as you can... maybe more!

So, if you want to base my whole existence on this good for you. I hope to entertain you again at some point in the future.

I didn't realise criminals had laws, how do they differ from our regular laws?

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Well then, you would be a "liar"..... But, I'd take all the above over that one word.

How do you conclude that someone's impression of you is a lie? Do you think that Ryantology secretly thinks your posts reflect well on you and just won't admit it?

Maybe you should stick to what you know.

Are you saying it's unjust to conclude someone is lying just because you think they are wrong? So soon after calling Ryantology a liar for what he thinks of you?

I'm going to cut you some slack and instead of concluding that you're lying about this, I'm going to go with: so amazingly lacking in self-awareness that you can't even remember being called out for doing exactly that in this very thread when you began with an insinuation about atheists and back-pedaled with a claim that you were only asking questions...and then couldn't help repeating your original insinuation and saying it was the point you were trying to make all along.

It's good to be able to laugh at yourself. It's better to know when you should laugh at yourself, and about what.

The most generous interpretation I can make of the problem you're having with us is that you are so focused on contradicting us that you're not even noticing when you're being inconsistent, and you have a problem gracefully admitting it when you make a mistake. Also, you have a tendency to manage to insult all of us when you're mad at one of is, leading everyone to jump on you. Calming down and thinking a bit more before you post should help with this.

OK. Maybe next time you're looking for an analogy, you can base it on your knowledge of criminal law.

Did you read the things he called me? NOT true = lies.

I try. But part of the method of debating is to take one out of their comfort zone. And [in the past] due to my temper I've been a willing passenger.

I'm not sure why you are answering for Ryan, but he doesn't know me, neither do you. If someone that knows me looked at his quote they most certainly would call him a "liar".

Whatever is in his mind [about me] should stay there... I'm not interested.

I'm glad you are willing to give me something!Wink

Why would I ask "only" questions? Whats the point? It's like saying: "I'm [only] talking."

I said that I was asking these questions because I wanted to know the "minds, motives and reasons for the way atheists think". That's a pretty broad question! And, I found out a lot! "Ulterior motives" are usually, something unrelated to the actual subject at hand?

My error may have been I stating the obvious results in a negative way! But I was being shit-up-on! So, all bets are off in a heated battle... because I may want to hurt back!

Thanks again for going easy on me!

Not to repeat myself over and over... But I have seen the light! Most of your observations are correct.

[I'm trying] to temper my responses. Mainly to get my message across accurately. Secondly, to not get overheated because of darts being thrown at me from all directions. That's where I lose it... in my message and consistency.

If it is a pool of water, she would assert it to be a miracle, then admit Christianity does not equip her to say, but said it anyway. Which is okay for her, but would be deemed a crime if done by someone else, because she knows criminal law, which is a lie, but it's okay because she is christain, and essence of Christianity is to deem a monstrous lie the most supreme and ineffable truth, and the pile lie upon lie to defend the shabby tale at its origin.

I only know you within the context of your behavior here on AF, a tapestry of elaborate lunacy telling the story of a person who is unpleasant, irrational, superstitious, and highly prone to saying extremely stupid things. I have no way of knowing how much your meatspace persona reflects your online persona, but I hope for your sake they don't resemble each other.
