The Jesus Freaks Will Hate This

[The Reality Salesman01]

I'm sure this guy and everyone at Huggy's church would love to correct him on his interpretations of the text while among us Atheists. I suspect that Huggy and all the other theists around here spend no effort anywhere else performing the mental gymnastics that are required of them on this forum. In church, the goalposts stay right where they are, and everyone sits around drinking the same Kool-Aid (I grew up in Church too, I know). It's only in places like this where they bend and twist the beliefs. While it's true that we are the ones who are challenging their views; they are not distorting the bible to explain it to us, they're doing it because it's only here that they realize it doesn't even make sense to them. And as long as they can continue to blow hot air into their constantly changing delusion, then they continue to pretend as though they've somehow degended the REAL belief, the one that is in the book and can read by all. Huggy, this guy knows what the book says just as much as we do. And we all know that what the book says is much different than the stupid shit you've been saying around here. You can't walk with Jesus while holding hands with the devil Huggy. Don't forget, many of us used to be Christians too...

[Faith No More]

Huggy debates with the narcissism of someone that sniffs their own farts.

As bad as his mental gymnastics are, the smug contempt for anyone that dares to challenge his statements is what's truly nauseating.

OMG
I stated simply "faith is synonymous with trust"

Oh and you didn't mean religious faith? Fascinating. Then why didn't you say so until now? Why did you bother quoting the scripture? Why all the translations? Why do you need definitions from Greek and Hebrew?

Here Is, my full quote, you tell me if I'm speaking of "religious faith".

No
Faith is synonymous with trust, the words are interchangeable. To place trust in something is a conscious decision, and Betrayal of that trust is always a factor.

Faith is not "pretending to know what you don't know", faith is NOT knowing yet still believing/trusting, Faith and Knowledge are mutually exclusive.

So you stating faith is "pretending to know what you don't know", is like stating "trusting someone is pretending to know someone you don't know"

Either you trust (have faith) someone, or you don't it's that simple

Wowee. And here is a quote of PT saying religious faith and trust are not synonymous and you not denying that you meant it for a second and going on about calling him a muppet and talking about the Hebrew translation, which would've been absolutely irrelevant if you were speaking about the synonyms of faith in a non-religious context in the English language.

Not so. Religious faith is not synonymous with trust, although other denotations of faith are synonymous with "trust". The religious denotation is not one of them. Here, here's the OED. Let's read this slowly:


[Formatting added to ease reading -- PT]

Now, when you look at the synonyms for the highlighted religious denotation, you get:


You'll hopefully notice that none of those are the word "trust".

In other words you're equivocating two different denotation, because ... well, because you're clearly not very educated in matters English.

Yes, because the old testament was originally written in English you Muppet

the Hebrew word for "trust" is translated in English as "faith".

I'm puzzled as to why he thinks he is "arguing" or why he uses some of the words to describe what he's doing. Literally everything he says continues to be reduced to nonsensical rubble and he's completely oblivious to it. Combine that with your observation, and I think he's a clear example of The Dunning-Kruger Effect. He's the sort of person who could convince himself that he's an expert electricians while being completely unaware of the repeated electrical fires and constant useful shocks that result from his work...

I'm not surprised. Huggies are designed to be full of shit:

Still rocking them rose colored glasses I see...
I'm civil with everyone except 4 people on this forum, and those guys bring it on themselves, I'm forced to take the gloves off. When YOU guys start with the insults, don't whine if it comes back to you.

And I wouldn't call a selection made in the voting booth the only expression of a nation's identity.

What sort of simpleton are you?

http://atheistforums.org/thread-30615-po...#pid846477

But hey, it sounds smart when you say "context", so if I were you, I'd keep doing it. It's certainly preferable to pretending to understand something you clearly don't.

http://atheistforums.org/thread-30615-po...#pid846337

But don't worry, with enough practice, one day, somewhere, you'll convince someone you are intelligent. Protip: stop asking stupid questions like this.

http://atheistforums.org/thread-30615-po...#pid846015

I'd suggest silent consideration in order to ameliorate those defects, but clearly you're capable of neither silence nor thinking.

You apparently have an inability to read simple English. Here's a list of the references for that Wiki article:

This small sampling is the very definition of smug...
But you won't mention that, will you?

You know Huggy, I do love it when you think you're making a rebuttal by being a hypocrite.
