Unfortunately I haven't documented every relevant conversation I've had over the past decades. 
Unfortunately thats your problem. Its also not a conversation of "the past decades" but rather of the past days. Do you remember what you wrote yesterday? Do you even try?

Unfortunately Amomalocaris is irrelevant for backing up the claim you made. Nice try though.

Why ask questions instead of backing up your claims from yesterday, claims you pretend not to remeber? Distraction?


Now, back to you backing up your own claims from yesterday. *hands over mic*

I have my frustrations with some of the things Belaqua says, but consider rereading what he's saying because it's clear to me he's not saying what you accuse him of saying. Similar shit is happening in the soul thread as well. We all make reading errors but come on guys, when something has been answered or clarified, read them properly when you can and don't try to find faults just for the sake of it, and/or pretend he wasn't clear.
I agree that he never suggested that there is an atheist ideology. But he clearly said, in relation to atheists:

Quote:Commitment to an ideological position nearly always takes precedence

So he needs to back up his claim that "nearly always" an ideological position takes precedence, even when atheists are arguing.

All the other bullshit about other phiilosophers or forum members is only one of his usual attempts to bullshit his way through this forum. I also dotn believe he is a christian (or any kinda theist/deist) but he is so fucking full of himself....
