Quote:I see. So you saying: "You really don't get it? Come on, I think you're more intelligent than you're letting on." was not you saying that I'm not intelligent enough to understand your point thus proving that you were right and I was wrong... the Ad Hom Fallacy?
It absolutely was not. If that is what I wished to say, I would have said it. You are deliberately avoiding answering my questions. I was hoping that you were doing so my mistake, but obviously not.

What question have I wriggled around? I feel I have been quite direct.
Quote:This is the usual silliness we see. I believe it's brought about by the lack of coherent argument.
It is just as silly and incoherent as Yahweh.
Quote:You mean the question about how it has to exist first?
No, I meant exactly what I said:

If I HAVE to point them out:
Quote:Please tell me more about this "non object." If it is not objective, how can we possibly know anything about it, even the state of its existence?
Quote:There is a unicorn living on the moon. This unicorn is capable of anaerobic respiration, which is why it does not die. It is also immaterial, which explains why we cannot see it or detect it in any way.
The words in the above context make sense, but in reality no such being can be shown to exist. Does that mean we just assume it does? Why? Even if such a being does exist, if it is immaterial how does it have any meaning? It certainly would not be able to interact with the universe in any way, being completely immaterial. It would seem that even if God exists, believing in him is completely meaningless. If this is the God you believe in, fine. No one will ever be able to prove you wrong.

I responded to your first response. You did not come anywhere close to destroying my position.
Why must Christians always declare victory prematurely?
