Can you please explain the operation of a "soul"? Where does a soul reside? How does a soul communicate with other entities? Does is it have ears, vocal chords and a mouth, or does it just use telepathy? Does it have a brain, and if not, how does it process information?

Sounds like you're setting up for an argument from ignorance. If Chad doesn't know the answers to your questions, do you think it makes you correct?

Does it make me correct about what? I never claimed to have answers to the questions, or else I wouldn't be asking them.

Quote:If the topic is whether Chad was an atheist, he's established it as reasonably as most of the atheists who post here.


Agreed. All one need do to is claim to be a former atheist. However, as many times as we've heard this "former atheist" claim, I personally am very skeptical whenever I hear it.

Quote:What's with the 3rd degree?

He volunteered answers to questions that were not directed at him in the first place. Am I not allowed to question further?

Quote:He didn't say he was pissed off, he said piss off, and I don't blame him. There's nothing hypocritical about a Christian telling someone who is implying that he is a liar to piss off.


Again, my original post was not directed at Chad. He volunteered his answers to a general set of questions that I have posted several times in the past. To infer that I was calling him a liar is incorrect.

When did I ever claim or imply that my line of questions was a "true atheist" test?

Quote:In fairness to Chad, I would probably have the same reaction to you as he did, if you jumped down my throat for same trivial reasons.

You need to re-read the posts. I never posed those questions to Chad; he volunteered his responses to a general set of questions that I indicated I had posted previously. Jumped down his throat!? Hardly.
