What purpose DO they serve if not to try and belittle someone when they appear in the context of an AvT contest of ideas?
Just to be clear, calling people whose idea(s) you oppose..."psychos" would constitute an abusive ad hominem in our (tentative) formal debate right?
Lol oh dear. I guess that's my bad, I didn't quote the post right before mine as the post I was talking about. I wasn't aware that now all my posts would be considered solely being aimed at you.
So just to be clear, I did not call Lion a psycho. I called his god a psycho in relation to something someone else said.
And I really did go take a nap, I just didn't want you thinking I fell off the face of the planet while we were talking this out.
While word count I believe should be unlimited (although for sources, word count could be mandatory in order to decrease excessive reading), the amount of post and replies can and should be limited. I don't see any of your reasons being legitimate reasons if these stipulations are made. I don't have to say much more than "Catholics", to make my point anyways..
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
