The causal agent is not beholden to time.

"causal agent" WOOOooooo! that sounds sooo scientific! But for you it means "MAGIC WoooHoo Man!"

So tell me how the "MAGIC WoooHoo Man" doesn't follow any laws of physics or exist in a physical realm yet manages to affect this world in a manner that has never been observed? Feel free to use lots of scientific sounding words..

Tell me how the "MAGIC WoooHoo Man" managed to stop the universe to a standstill, with no ill effect, just so some bronze age nomads could win a primitive battle. Give us some vectors and big numbers with odd units to wow us.

Tell me how the WoooHoo Magic made a tree fruit contain special knowledge. I'm curious how eating a fruit can educate someone in such a manner. Can you explain that with big dictionary words too??

A BA and an MA in philosophy hey?

So you get to ask WHY the customer wants fries with that.

again if you did not find God and stopped Asking and seeking then you did not follow the model in luke 11. You may have very earnestly asked and sought, but you did not knock. 1/3 of everything Jesus has to say in that passage is on the importance of knocking. If you did not knock you did not complete the perscribed path. therefore you did not do it 'my' or rather God's way.

And this is the dishonest lynchpin of Drich's entire A/S/K bullshit: the moment you even consider that there might be a failure state for his test, you're no longer doing it correctly. All he's done is posited an unfalsifiable, and therefore irrational, justification for his belief.

As usual.

I've been trying to figure out how to word a succinct refutation of A/S/K and here Esquilax hits it right on the head!

Oddly enough he hit it better then me and yet I was the one drippy was referring to. Either way it is just a non answer from drippy to protect his faith.

Even though I am going into no True Scotsman territory, I'd say most who say they are Christian aren't really Christian....it's just that they grew up being told they were such.

I've always found it odd, the way some people want to equate a lack of knowledge about a religion as not being a part of it, for a number of reasons. First of all, if salvation is through faith, it shouldn't matter how much you actually understand, right? Additionally, there's clearly some other component beyond religious knowledge involved in that equation, since you wouldn't consider an atheist who knows the bible word for word to be a christian, would you?

Lastly, it's not a definition we'd apply anywhere else, either; if I play chess and lose all the time, am I not playing chess? Polaris, what you're describing isn't someone who isn't a christian but thinks they are.

You're describing a christian who's bad at their religion.

nailed it.

Lol, anarchy.

Lol, nationalism

Pain, discomfort, and anxiety are nature's way of getting you to do something.

Yeah no. It's OK. You Americans (regardless of beliefs) rarely examine cultures outside of your own.

You try and pretend that they are the same as yours (even other Western powers like France) and you end up with responses like you two give.
