Quote:I can discuss a position without taking it myself. Should be obvious, as we're at a site where atheists routinely make arguments regarding God, even though they don't believe in Him. You know, like my opponent was doing?SAure, but what you -can't- do is show an -internal- problem without accepting it, for the purposes of argumentation.
Quote:Whoa, by your reasoning I guess they believe in God.They've obviously assumed it for the purpose of argument, to show what they feel is an internal inconsistency....mostly because that's how that's done - and can;t be done any other way. Or, I mean..yeah, your batshit comment is spot on, and you're not a mouth breathing loon two feet under the water of the conversation and too trollishly stubborn to let go.
Quote:Yes, and when it's noted that omniscience therefore also precludes -God's- free will, they can't come up with a reason that differentiates men from God and allows free will in the one but not the other.Does it? Do you believe that it does? Just because gods omniscience as described precludes our free will..doesn't mean that it would preclude gods. Either because god is a special case, or because gods actions, unlike our own, cannot be known - and so any logically coherent conception of omniscience does not contain within it the knowledge that would preclude his own free will. Take notes, this is how you competently do apologism.
In any case..-they- don;t have to come up with any such justification. It's not their baby. That's your belief..and you tossed it in there as a way to avoid discussing -their- proposition, so you could toss out a common "you too" defense of gods proposed inequity....... that doesn't even dispute that gods actions are wrong or absurd in that regard..just claims that someone else does it too.
So what did you show, again? I think you may have found a way to reenfoirce the OP.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
