Quote from websc01ar:
"But let me posit this . . . if I am right . . . if there is an eternal separation from some heavenly Creator if we do not accept whatever path laid out for us . . . what kind of person would I be if I do no share it?"
Rephrased for a counterpoint:
"But let me posit this . . . if I am wrong . . . if there is no heavenly Creator, no path laid out for us . . . what kind of person would I be if I continue to share it?"
You would be considered a lunatic. Note that I am not calling you this, just that if a person continues to espouse a position that is clearly not correct, that person should have no expectation that their word can be trusted.
Do you believe in just one specific set of religious "facts" above all others? Why? What makes those particular religious "facts" better than all of the other ones out there in the world? Can every single person who has a different religious belief than you be wrong?
Even the slightest investigation into the matter makes the whole thing come apart, so what will happen is the stock, standard response will come down to "Faith and Belief" - either you have Faith and Believe, or you don't.
To websch01ar, you're clearly educated and intelligent. Can you make a compelling argument for the existence of (any) God or afterlife as described in (any) religion, without resorting to the Fath or Belief copout/Get Out of Jail Free argument?
Can anyone?
accountant_4_Jesus was removed as fund manager for the Awards Fund. Why? {nm} Oct 17, 20:29
I bought the fund because A4J was running it. This is highly annoying. {nm} Oct 17, 20:51
A4J did a wonderful job on the fund, but I guess thoughtcrime must be punished. {nm} Oct 17, 21:01
** This post has been removed by the forum moderator! ** Oct 17, 21:50
Not sure this belongs here . . . Oct 18, 05:07
I stated my support for A4J from a freedom/liberty perspective, however MGMT... Oct 18, 05:46
So DMac can remove a fund manager without warning for something the manager did not do but apologized for anyway? Oct 18, 06:04
Is what it is. {nm} Oct 18, 06:05
What it is is bull****. {nm} Oct 18, 06:07
And I appreciate your support of A4J. {nm} Oct 18, 06:40
so what happened? i don't see any discussion in feedback..... {nm} Oct 18, 05:45
Here ya go... Oct 18, 05:47
A4J was accused of saying all Muslims are killers (which he did not do) and A4J apologized for any offense taken. Oct 18, 06:00
watch yourself, you just said "all Muslims are killers"....wait, so did I now...........AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa {nm} Oct 18, 06:25
Good thing I don't run a fund or it would be taken away from me without warning. {nm} Oct 18, 06:27
Some things we think we think about this at Delta House Oct 18, 08:12
Just because I can't yell fire in a crowded theater doesn't mean I'm being censored. Oct 18, 13:56
I meant this as a general reply to the thread {nm} Oct 18, 13:57
A4J, stick around. Don't let these people censor your views. {nm} Oct 18, 08:36
For the (hopefully) last time: IT'S NOT CENSORSHIP! He said exactly what he wanted to say and suffered consequences for it. Oct 18, 09:24
My friend... Oct 18, 10:36
The flip side: Oct 18, 12:02
Nice Oct 18, 12:41
Thank you for the response. Oct 18, 12:59
Is a full-fledged argument worthwhile? Oct 18, 13:04
Re: macro-evolution: Was an off-topic digression and not relevant to the question that was proposed. Oct 18, 13:27
Guys, please don't get into an argument on account of me. I don't want that. {nm} Oct 18, 13:31
You premise is that man is naturally good, yes? {nm} Oct 19, 04:33
Well, yes, and my criteria are easily explained as i did not come to belief until i was 40. logically, most "religions"" Oct 18, 13:35
Correct, but this is not a governmental entity and the TOS is clear. {nm} Oct 18, 11:51
They are the "authorities", of HSX, and A4J did not perpetrate a personal attack on any particular member. Oct 18, 12:37
Indeed, but the thread was in the wrong forum and he was not the creator of the thread. Oct 18, 12:42
Just because I can't yell fire in a crowded theater doesn't mean I'm being censored. Oct 18, 13:58
