I am looking to be debate any interested parties on the following question:
Any takers, feel free to jump in! I would ask, however, that this thread be limited to debate only and without extended commentary, especially, on other topics.
OK. This could be interesting.
You're an intelligent poster who would certainly be capable of calling me out on the weak parts of my argument. An example of my rule of thumb that the quality of the debate is in inverse proportion to the level of impoliteness.
Also, I note that I wouldn't have to be dealing with Mythical Jesus nonsense (etc.) in discussion with you. We can get down to the serious debate without wasting time.
However:
Could you set up the thing someone said where only we can post? It would be nice to have a real discussion rather than deal with drive-by clowns dropping one liners.
I'm only going to be posting sporadically, because of commitments**. If this doesn't work for you, or another Xian with time on their hands comes forward, feel free to not take me up.
Could you clarify the bit after the word “dead” in the title, because I'm not understanding it too well. Perhaps just replace it with a question mark?
**Since you ask, I'm trying to get a ministry going of getting limbs to grow back through the power of prayer. It's not going well.
Jehenne,
HOLY COW BATMAN, you have pseudo-christian that is willing to be hoisted upon their own petard! Take it!
As you've noticed, Vicky Q is leaving an insidious way out by stating; "I'm only going to be posting sporadically, because of commitments**. If this doesn't work for you,….."
where this is the normal MO of a pseudo-christian when the biblical axioms start pouring down upon them, they have a way out to try and save face.
It is understood that only the two of you should be in the actual debate thread, BUT, we can make comments to the debate in the peanut gallery in this thread !
The debaters could check in once and awhile to this thread to see if they want to use our "plethora" of material relative to their debate at the time, or the least of which, they can view how we think of their sandcastles of speculation, whereas they should think about changing their directions! lol
Jehanne, please say you'll accept her proposals! Atheists need more pseudo-christian comedy!
