Not a chance. You have been here for years presenting the same fallacious arguments. What makes you think that doing the same thing in the formal debate forum will make a difference. You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I have heard this claim so many times it's really kind of pathetic at this point. If it was "100% conclusive" it would be "evidence" not "arguments". Arguments are the tools of those without evidence. Arguments are how you trick someone into believing something you don't have the evidence to support. Arguments are how you change opinions, not how you prove claims. I'm sure you think that you have super-witty arguments to show everything you believe to be 100% true, but I guarantee you that you have to believe it first AND ONLY THEN are the arguments convincing. Anyone here can tear apart anything you have with minimal effort, and that is a guaranteed, concrete, 100% conclusive claim which will be backed shortly by the actual evidence of your arguments being soundly refuted. Not that you'll learn a damned thing. You'll blame your failure on us. You've already set up the blame shift by claiming that we don't want there to be conclusive proofs. But I'll admit, you are at least a little right on that. I don't want Islam to be true. I don't want to teach my daughters that they're properties given value only by a man, who it is their duty to submit to in anything he wants. I don't want to teach them that any given man, regardless how big a piece of shit he is, has more value than them. I don't want to accept that it's my duty to beat my wife when she steps out of line. I don't want to believe that it's okay for me to kill people I disagree with. Islam is the biggest shit-show out there, so no, I don't want it to be true. Thankfully, it isn't.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately? Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use. Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel. Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.

Probably because he thinks it gives his ideas a veneer of respectability, sharing the stage in a serious debate. Sadly, "That would look great on your CV; not so great on mine." There's also the added benefit that he can say later on that he offered to prove his god to us, but we were too scared to debate him. He's already made those sort of noises. So it's a win-win exercise for him.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
It's actually because I don't have time to reply to a bunch of people at the same time. So I would rather limit it to one on one.
Time will tell. Thus spake the prophet.

I'll repeat that this all seems assume that the "true" religion must be one currently being practiced. That is so blatantly wrong that there's not a lot of point proceeding without clearing this up. I don't even know how you can have a formal debate about that.
If point 1 is just saying that a "true" religion is theoretically possible, then fair enough. Feel free to send me a private message.

What if the true religion was the big booby religion that was practiced for thousands of years across Europe then died out. you know the one, the one that had the fat arsed clay figures with the massive knockers. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

One would think that a "true" religion would at very least have to confer similar benefits upon all practitioners. Based on the insanely wide disparity among similarly devout individuals from the same versions of just about every religion ever invented, I'm not holding out much hope for ever finding such a thing. |
