Quote:I am not opinionless. I have lot of opinions. Therefore, I am not "almost opinionless" either.I don't know you better that you do. But I know what I've read of you on these forums, and I see little opinion, or spine to defend your beliefs. You merely state them and back that up with "well I believe differently to you". You then bow out.
Plus, you don't know me better than I do.
Quote:Tell me which opinion is a contradiction.A contradiction is saying "oh no it isn't" without providing reasining for such. That's what I'm accusing you of.
Quote:A simplistic argument from design only? Wrong, because I have made several threads on the issue of God and Islam to defend my beliefs....Discussing the merits of Mohammed had fuck all to do with your belief. You were defending the historicity.
Quote:So, your statement that I have "no reasoning to contend" was a lie. And I posted many other things about Islam in different threads. Not just these five threads.Can you see what I'm saying? Defending the historicity is completely different to defending your beliefs.
I don't call the argument form design reasoning, and you haven't defended it, but merely stated it. You have an opinion (conceeded).
Quote:You can say that all my reasons are poor, yes, but you cannot say that I have "no" reasoning at all, because that is not true.
Can you point me to single examples rather than long threads to trawl through? I can't recollect another argument of yours. Surely you know what they are?
[quote]I think most of the atheists in this forum believe that ALL the religious members are deluded (to a certain extent). So, your statement applies to yourself also.
Straw man. I would hope that you and I rely upon convincing argument rather than blind dismissal (of those members here committing that error). If I see no reasoning how can I respect your position?
I treat everyone else the same, whatever their flavour of belief/ disbelief. If they have a valid reason then I can respect that. If they cannot offer reasoning I must assume that they have none.
Quote:And being non-offensive and non-confrontational is not a bad thing.Absolutely
Quote:As for the culture part, you can say that about every other theist (including yourself). And again, I do have my own reasons for believing, which I stated above.No absolutely not. You are religious and I'm not. There's a huge difference.
I follow zero % of the culture of Christianity. I am 100% Christian. I wasn't born into it, my surrounding culture opposes it. I have no family to oppose my resistance to Christianity. I don't go to church. I don't meet or mix with other Christians much.
No, you alluded to your opinion. Yet again you failed to stump up any.
