The Problem with the Gospels

[fr0d0]

1. I didn't mention evidence.

No you didn't! Haha! Meh - existence... same thing

2. If I did I would be allowed to because you failed to respond to my last post in our debate for so long, that Adrian just closed it in the end.

WHAT??? Oh thanks. Nice of you guys to tell me. There was nothing to reply to. You repeated an earlier question. That didn't need an answer. I had no reason to answer.

Additionally: you have claimed before that I said I didn't want to continue the debate any further. But I say that I never said such a thing... and I asked if you could perhaps provide a quotation where I ever said that - because I, furthermore, never would say anything like that... I never agree to disagree unless the other person brings the whole. 'agree to disagree' notion up first. You know what I'm like.

I asked you twice to take something to the evidence thread, but you didn't do it.

3. My statements are 'obviously wrong'? All I am trying to understand is what you actually mean when you say God 'is' but his existence is irrelevant. By definition how can he 'be' if he does not exist? That is a contradiction.

I agree it's a contradiction. hence my reply.

God cannot 'be'... he cannot be a thing at all that 'just is' if he doesn't exist. For something to be something that 'just is' (or for something to be anything at all!) - it by definition... has to exist.

No it doesn't. And I'll discuss this no further for reasons already stated.

4.

I've explained that to you before so I'll see if you can figure it out on your own this time, otherwise what's the point of discussion if we learn nothing?

Are you backing out again? I am discussing. How can you say we will learn nothing if you don't know what's round the corner? I'm happy to continue the discussion... are you?

Again???

I can say we will learn nothing if we've discussed this before and you ask the same question again. If we follow the same route chances are the same outcome will occur. We have to approach the problem differently.

You're not listening to me. I'm asking you to think about it a bit rather than have me drip feed you. You're not stupid, work it out.
