Some concluding remarks on this emotionally interesting yet intrinsically rather dull excercise in which my dear opponent finally chose to deny his own words:
1) You asserted that the existence of god is unprovable and that the definition of god is the basis for your claim
3) You told me that the best definition of god is the description of god in the bible and that you think that in the bible unprovability of god's existence is claimed
4) You acknowledged that belief in the christian god does not require proof and that belief in general does not require proof.
5) You hold that certain parts of the bible are not to be read literal yet you do not supply a clear line for this
6) You hold that excluding the parts in the bible where slavery is condoned is not cherry picking but some other process that is to easy to even explain to me
7) According to you when christians commit evil such as slavery it is always clear that this is because people are corrupt not because they have access to god's impeccable moral values as stated in the bible and which does not entail slavery
8) On the question how to choose from (4) what is true you stated that some beliefs are childish and other are not and that your choice was based on christian doctrine which is, quite remarkable, not childish
9) You hold that your faith is true because your faith says so and do not recognize its circular reasoning
10) You repeatedly failed to recognize the difference between the following two statements:
a) Theologian thinkers through the ages have asserted that there is conclusive proof of the christian god.
b) Theologian thinkers through the ages have conclusively proven the existence of the christian god.
11) Explicitly begged for an answer on (10) you denied it's importance for this debate and ignored my request to acknowledge the difference between (a) and (b)
12) You claim to be a natural born mind reader and according to you the most appropiate rebuttal in this debate contains the following qualifications for your opponent and his argument (not claiming to be complete on this): moronic, idiot, (utter) twat, pedant (with or without trousers), verbal diarrhea, complete mumbo jumbo, ridiculous, tram line of rhetoric, arrogant, waste of time, boring, pathetic, laughable, pure wordplay, ignorant, not being genuine.
Thank you, it has been most pleasant "aber leider nicht zu vollen Zufriedenheit".
