Those who suffer from mental illness are often unaware of their illness. It's called Anosognosia.
You are a typical case.
Quote:I said Calvinism is appealing because it’s logically sound, that means it’s only appealing to those who value rationality (which is not the majority of people), please try to keep up.
Interesting theory. Problem is, Atheists are not Calvanists, so that's a huge hole in your position.
Quote:Fallacy of guilty by association, please try to be rational.
Yes, please do.
Quote:Yup. An unsupported assertion only warrants an assertion in return.
Wrong.
Quote:Fallacy of the red herring, you asserted you could prove you have a free will, I have seen no syllogism provided; so you were wrong.
Actually, I effectively baited you into proving and admitting it. LOL.
Quote:You didn’t assert you could give it to me in conversation, you said you could prove it, now provide the syllogism.
Through conversation I presented you with a dilemma that you are still struggling to reconcile.
Quote:Yes.
Cool, so you feel you are debating god right now. Nice.
Quote:I haven’t seen you accurately represent what any one section believes to date, so to say you can represent what many believe is unsupported.
It's been my experience that most people do not truly understand what they believe. I'll add you to the list.
Quote:You acting according to your sinful and corrupted nature is not autonomous free will, nice try though.
So, I'm acting according to my sinful nature, but not of my own free will. Further more, god is willing me to do this but hates it and doesn't want it.

Quote:No, you are. Very bad.
Of my own free will, or god's?
Quote: Or am I just bad of my own free will?
Quote:No, you’re bad because you will derives from your corrupted and sinful nature. I thought you used to be a Calvinist! How come you are so embarrassingly ignorant of what Calvinists believe?
I'm just helping you see how silly and ridiculous your belief is. For some reason, however, you continue to forget that I am no longer a Reformed Christian.
As a result, you keep stumbling on the same thing over and over and over and over again.
But I'm enjoying it. Since my departure, I haven't had much interaction with Calvanists. So, in a way, this is the first time I've gotten the opportunity to expose and mock the ridiculous and meaningless views I once held.
