Why Does God Need So Much Praise?

It seems to be a common misconception that someone cannot withdraw from a discussion without it automatically being a victory for the other person. Hardly.

This also seems to lead to the "carry on arguing relentlessly until the other person gets fed up and then declare victory" tactic. The purpose of honest debate is supposed to be to exchange ideas, possibly with a view to giving the other person some things to consider. It's not to spout off constantly until the other person gets tired of you. If that's what you consider to be a victory, then clearly "winning the argument" is more important to you than actually being right, or properly communicating good ideas.

Wrong,

On many occasions, after an atheist has been beaten soundly on facts, they turn tail and run. Kinda like how i was making the point that animals didn't have a moral code, which Abaris took issue with, and referenced Frans de Waal as evidence of animal morality, when in reality De Waal was saying the exact same thing I was.

But surprise, Abaris never admitted he was wrong, he just left the conversation... that's how it usually goes.

I can provide actual evidence if you'd like...
