Attn: Christians, We've Heard Them Already

And as I've already said to what you said, not acceptable. I don't want to be remiss in my duty to challenge Christian bullshit. And this brings us back to my solution of "already debunked, *Link*".

Quote:I know what you'd like to do. The question is whether that encourages or discourages discussion.

It's not only what I'd like to do, it's what I am doing. I'm not interested in any further discussion on apologetics I've already debunked. You may as well complain that I'm discouraging discussion on the flat earth theory, or geocentrism, or other long resolved issues.

Quote:You've responded cold to a dead 11-page thread? If so, you're very unusual.

What is unusual or strange about it?

"Hey guys, what do you think of this?" *Link*

I then follow the link. I quote the relevant section. And then post:

"It's total crap and here's why..."

Linking to external material, articles or arguments is hardly unusual, nor is quoting or discussing them in separate threads.

Quote:
Quote:Theists were defeated in the linked thread. This is not an assumption.
sigh Sad

I know it's sad but you just have to deal with it. Or pick up the gauntlet and try to do a better job.

On the debate I linked to on the historicity of the Gospels, I spanked the Christian so hard he abandoned the debate, running with his tail tucked between his legs. Thus, it's not just my opinion he lost. It's apparently his as well.

Quote:It's elephant hurling regardless of who brought it up. If you were to bring up evolution, would it be fair of me to challenge you to refute every article on AIG?

You are welcome to start a post on an article in AIG that you can link to and get schooled.

Quote:I haven't suggested that.

In fact you did suggest that very thing when you claimed "argument from ignorance". You suggested that his refusal to post any refutation might be due to, how did you put it, "limited time and interest". It's a thinly concealed argument that he could have crushed me but just didn't feel like doing so. This is a classic argument from ignorance.

Quote:Neither am I accepting your declaration of victory in those other threads.

I could care less what you do or don't accept. I leave such determinations to the reader. However, I will go so far as to say when a Christian runs away from a formal debate, it's hard to argue that he really won. But I'm sure you will anyway.

By the way, if *YOU* want to pick up either gauntlet or both, you are welcome to.
