Original Sin?

Quote: FrGamble

Now Ace is telling me how ridiculous it is to quote a scientist to defend my position, why didn't anyone call out Evenbob for doing it?

Well, there's this thing I really like, the "block user" function. You should try it sometime.

I could bring up witty aphorisms from other people, but a battle of quotations is not an argument. The few quotations I've resorted to serve to illustrate a point.

Ace, if you read the quote again it didn't necessarily support Theism. It was only pointing out that Evenbob was incorrect when he was using said scientist to make it appear he supported the theory that there is no God. Take it up with him.

It's all down to semantics now, you're on
the ropes. You have zero proof god exists,
so now you want to trip up the defendants.

'Look, your honor, he claims to be an atheist,
yet 10 days ago he seems to have contradicted
himself on a minor moral issue. Your honor, he
obviously does believe in god and doesn't know
it.'

It does work in court on the stand, you can take
cred away from a witness. But it's different here.
I have only myself to answer to, and I know for
sure there can be no god. If you study the origins
of religions in any depth, it's the conclusion you
inevitably come to.

It's the rope-a-dope technique when you take all your opponents best shots, which does no damage, and wait for him to get tired of saying and doing the same old stuff.

Are you looking in a mirror?

You mean the stuff you don't want to hear?

Stuff we consider 'same old stuff':

Jesus died for your sins (I have none, there is no sin)

Jesus loves you. (Jesus died 2000 years ago, we didn't know each other)

Jesus rose from the dead. (No, he didn't. Prove it.)

Jesus mom was a virgin (No, she wasn't.)

Jesus is god. (there is no god)

Jesus performed miracles. (So does David Copperfield on a nightly basis, is he the son of god too?)
