Quote:He couldn't answer. I did nothing but simply question his own beliefs/dogma. Is arguing with apologists is often as mind-numbingly tedious as it is pointless? To think of all the paint in the world I could have watched dry, as trivial as that sounds, at least I would have gained something from that mundane exercise. >.>
Usually yes, some are kind and admit they don't know. Arguing with the others is, as you've described, "mind-numbing", yet for some reason I still choose to have a debate with forum members like tackattack.
Why do I choose to debate with people with no analytical ability? I don't know. I keep thinking that perhaps with extended debate I can get people like that to think critically and improve their analytical ability. The result of the experience is to wish that I had spent the time watching paint dry instead. They say that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result every time. I must be insane then.
Perhaps I ought to suggest to the forum creators that a font resembling that which could be produced when a crayon is used as a writing impliment be available to forum members. Perhaps if it is written in crayon it would make it easier tor certain apologists to understand.
Question answered and my rant is over.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
