This is what godschild says:
Quote:The little boy was the one who challenged me to a debate on scripture, I let him know what swords I would bring to the debate. He took a dive under his round table when he saw the translations I would use. Then he deflects his original statement with this junk. I use the NASB and the ESB because they are recognized as two of the best translations of scripture.
Whereupon, if you look at that post, I responded with this:
Quote:OK, I didn't know you looked at it this way. You can use whatever translation you want. Let's have a DEBATE. THE FINAL BATTLE OF THE UNIVERSE!!! Shall I create a new thread for us to debate in? What will the motion of the debate be?
I suggest this: "The Bible contains untruths, falsehoods and even deliberate lies". I will propose the motion and you presumably oppose it. Is that a deal?
godschild, from his post, clearly intends to debate with me. He has gone so far as to say that I have ducked under the table to evade a debate. To say he had no intention to debate with me is a dreadful lie. I have come here specifically to debate with these cowardly Christians and the last thing I would do is to forgo the opportunity of a debate. I showed enthusiasm immediately and asked what the motion should be. Since godschild has claimed that I'm not a "scriptural" or "biblical" Christian, I suggested a debate on the Bible that he holds so dear. I clearly said "I suggest...". Before that, I asked what the motion of the debate should be. Did he come back with a reply of an alternative motion? Did he say the motion I suggested was not something he wants to debate on because he can't defend against my very truthful accusation that the Bible contains untruths and deliberate lies? No, he said nothing.
If godschild insists that I'm NOT a Christian because of a document, surely to defend myself, I am allowed to discredit the document? Since godschild says I'm not a Christian because of the Bible the correct approach to solve this matter is for me to bring the Bible into question. It's for him to defend the Bible which he is, after all, using to say I'm not a Christian.
For some reason, RaphielDrake, you seem to be totally blind to this.
I have already looked at it very carefully. At no point does he actually agree to a formal one on one debate. At no point.
Only you do. End of.
Whatever point you were originally making to Godschild, no matter how valid, has been completely buried under your boasting, your arrogance and your dishonesty. You have wasted everyones time including my own with this long, boring and delusional thread and if you had any sense you'd shut the fuck up and hope this fades from memory.
Thats not me being nasty, thats me actually giving you the best advice you could get right now to shorten this excruciatingly embarrassing situation you have brought on yourself. Nothing you can type right now is going to make this any better and every post you make keeps this thread in "todays posts" meaning more and more people will see this and think "What a twat". I'm not feeling the usual mix of bemusement, sarcasm and sadism. No, I'm feeling a very heavy sense of tedium that slightly depresses me mixed with the kind of guilt I imagine would come from beating a small injured animal to death with an old shoe.
Stop typing.
