Yeah same here. I get Stimbo was just joking around.
Aren't I allowed a cheer squad?

I quoted an epic response to a silly post that was made on the thread... and then Neo and CL responded to it here... so I kept responding to their responses. That's why.

My bold.
That's called a logical contradiction.
The "future" "is present" and He "knows" (present tense) it at "all times"? That literally is so full of logical incoherence it's embarrassing.

No they don't.

You're advocating Eternalism and saying that God exists in all time periods but you're also saying the past and future don't make sense to God. That's Presentism, not Eternalism.
It's so embarrassing how poor at logic you are.

Sorry. I need to stop compulsively responding but my responses are... well, compulsive. So I'm gonna put him on ignore. It should have just been me posting the witty response to what he said and then him Shutting TFU. I'm gonna put Neo on ignore now.

Exactly what I was trying to explain.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

How do we test this theory?
