Guns or knives?




Apparently we're going with knives.

Nope, you're wrong.  She was never here to proselytize and had no problem with anyone choice of faith or lack there of.

She did a damn good job on proving God through morality with that video she defended from the professor who did a good job on defending the moral argument for God. Epic thread was epic, but still no believers made out of that!

Whatever you and the others need to settle is your business.


Hey, she was talking to the adults.

That's not even an argument. It's a pious assertion, (with nothing to support it).
There's no need to refute an assertion with no evidence. It's a big nothing. It's just pious sentimental drivel.

Thing is, Mystic will say something nonsensical, then when called out on it being nonsensical he'll just retreat to sticking his fingers in his ears with the refrain "you haven't refuted my argument, I win."  That's his MO.  Good luck trying to get anything through to him. Dodgy

You think that because you don't know how people talk in the past, and don't know how to derive premises from simple statements. You can derive enough premises and the conclusion will follow and it's all implied in that phrase.

You're right.  The problem is with me and my grasp of simple linguistics and reading comprehension.  That's why you've got a long track record of successfully converting people on this forum with a large portion of its members considering you a valuable, contributing part of it whose conversations are worthwhile and not at all predictable and repetitive.
