Yes, you did appeal to ignorance.

Demonstrate how.
Quote:Assertion, back it up.
You said, "you couldn't disprove my assertion so it must be true by principle of negation". That's appeal to ignorance.

Quote:That’s not enough, just because it works for you does not justify your apparent belief that others should also adhere to it.

As I've said before (speaking of argumentum ad neuseum) I never said or implied that you should adhere to reason. In fact, you don't anyway so there you go. Go join an Amish community if you seriously want to live in a society that eschews reason and science.

Quote:Then I don’t have to give account for knowing God exists, fair is fair.

You're right.

You can go believing pink faeries sing to you at night for all I care. Just keep it the hell out of my life, science class in school, the laws of the land, public parks and in all other ways respect the separation of Church and State and we'll get along fine.

Quote:Please point to the exact post and passage where this was done rather than making a baseless assertion it was done. Thanks.

I don't have the energy right now to repost every single post where I tore your lame arguments apart. Re-read the thread for yourself.

Quote:Oh ok, well then I don’t have to either. I know [Yahweh] exists because I like the results it gets. Fair is fair.
Fine. Just keep it the hell out of my life and we'll get along just fine.

You notice I never criticize Buddhist, Wicca or Hindu beliefs despite the fact they all believe things I don't.

Islamo-Christianity is a problem not because they believe things they can't prove. Islamo-Christianity is a problem because they can't respect boundaries.

Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
