Is this a response to something? That second sentence? A little clarification please?

He means they have conviction in their beliefs because they heard the other side of the story, and decided they either didn't believe it or did not want to choose that philosophy. It just means they disagreed, no need for a burn the heathens rant now PF.

You gotta be kidding. "Burn the heathens?"

Laughter is good for health. I want them around, and front and center.

C'mon now, you know I'm really a peaceful man. I have proven time and again, that the unaltered Gospel is what I respect.

I'm just here for the experience and research, to throw a few back and to have a good time.

Just like you.

Fair enough then, that our reasons for being here ARE the same. I just wince whenever I see you or someone else throw something out that just looks so ignorant and one-sided that it makes me cringe at the reception when the opposite side takes the bait. At this point most of the time with you I figure it's just bait, which makes me laugh because I too enjoy a good and simple trolling.

The 0x0 thing annoys people because it's repetitive. Then again 1x0 is still 0. People don't like the same old answer-in-a-can every time. I think I've debated long enough here to where I can hold the entire conversation in my post. I'm at the point where I'll even write in pre-emptive points at the bottom of my posts in response to the arguments I know will come up, that haven't yet.

Look at this completely ignorant representation from one of your camp mates:

S-I: Only if you restrict your definition of "parent" to biology only.
PC-F: Hmmm, now science is unimportant to the atheist.

S-I: Luckily, in reality, parents are not determined by DNA.
PC-F: Ok, I'll let you think about the unscientific nature of your assertion there and maybe you'll do what's right and edit this part out of your post. Because, parents, are determined 100% by DNA.

So science is OK ONLY when it bashes creationism and Christianity?

You can't have your science both ways sir. Just deal with the facts the way you demand we Christians do. And now on to PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


C'mon man, that is supposed to be impressive freethought perspective? It shoves science into the trash can for hysterical emotionalism and social reengineering efforts of the left to be realized in the daylight.

At this point most of the time with you I figure it's just bait, which makes me laugh because I too enjoy a good and simple trolling.

Sarcasm and argument. No trolling need apply. My efforts are exclusively to show Christians who and what we are up against, and why and how they are not really anything to worry about.

Yet J, it is the nongodian that bobbleheads their rote-talking points like a caged parrot on speed.

Ever been to a skeptics/atheist/freethinker website? Sorry sir, I just don't see any real free thought from those demanding that they are freethinkers. It's alway reactionary pillaging. I enjoy so often the cognitive dissonance of the atheist that freaks whenever they have to really actually think in their own demands.

Perfect example, is the post I copied above. Science is quite the friend of the Biblical perspective, and as I have just shown, is no supporter of gay activism. But as we see ad infinitum, and as you say, the talking points are cement most of the time.

But even Jesus held a conversation with the Devil.

No fear and no worries.

Then, 0 x 0 = atheism.

How come I get screamed at when I say that?
Because it's not true? Because you're bearing false witness in defiance of your own religions instructions? Because it makes you a hypocrite? Because it's ridiculous? Take your pick.

Here, try this one instead, it's accurate enough for a vague and ill-defined equation.

Atheism: Something x Something = Everything.

There you go, don't say I never do anything for ya. :wave:

If that were true, there would be no word "atheist," but only the word "agnostic" to represent reality.

Oh oh....I think I agree with you, when it comes to religion, I'm an Atheist, but when it comes to something moving behind the scenes, I'm Agnostic. :blush:

Science and homosexuality don't prove anything distinctive, you can just draw conclusions that are subjective. Are there people who say outrageous things in both camps? Yeah.

I like to think I make a pretty good and civil argument when I debate here most of the time, because I'm self-conscious enough to think "Hey, if I say this, it's just going to put my opponent completely on the defensive, and will accomplish nothing."

You can say that because reproduction is the driving force behind most instincts that homosexuality is shot down by sheer science... Fine. But that doesn't give us the right to take the rights of gays away because we feel differently, by getting married they aren't hurting anybody. I AM against gay marriage being specifically touched on in schools, but as far as I see it, Christians are offended by gays using the word marriage, because they see it as a word which has sanctity, while I see it as a term meaning the dedicated union between two people.

That is the reasoning it doesn't bother me, when they come after Don't Ask Don't Tell though, I'll be right there fighting it.

Defeat Osama, Obama, and Chelsea's Momma.
I don't approve of socialism.
I am pro-choice.
I am in support of gay marriage, but think churches have the right to choose not to marry homosexuals in their church.
I think either gay marriage AND creationism should either both be talked about in schools or not altogether.
I think my political party has been hijacked by crazy fundamentalists who need to gtfo.
I believe in giving people the responsibility and freedom to be irresponsible.
How come JCook's cool sig is OK by PC-F, but mine, which says the same stuff, is abhorrent?

Which is why I like you so much. Shame about the airforce thing.

because some of them are annoyed by us Christians... or they dont know as much about us as we ourselves.. some hear things are considered right/wrong, some athiests have told me i need church, and argued im nt a real Christian.

I don't see a donkey next to your signature.

And what's with Christian with a small c?

And it is no big deal that atheists see you as not a Christian isn't it? I mean seriously . . .

What make you think Jcooks sig is OK with me really? I just like his debate style. And, he doesn't freak out when accused or take things so personally when questioned. But I do see his sig yoked with yours in all reality. It never ceases to fascinate me how atheists and gays are so connected in their social causes and positions about Bible-affirming Christians.

Science and homosexuality don't prove anything distinctive, you can just draw conclusions that are subjective.

"Subjective?" We're talking objective. I'd get graphic, but I don't want to be on probation or banned. The mods don't like stark truth about gay culture posted on their site.

My point wasn't lost on you. Your side screams that science is the all powerful and an impassionate arbiter of reason and logic. My point is that homosexuality fails the test by science, when emotionalism is removed from the agenda. Homosexual "parents" IS a natural and scientific impossibility. In our species anyway. So taking a stand for marriage and family to be male-female, husband and wife, is nothing even close to bigotry or hateful. It is what it is. Sound reason and sound logic. No need to open a Bible at all, or even mention the word.

Are there people who say outrageous things in both camps? Yeah.

Gays yes. Family values being family values no. Wanting gay sex and gay culture taught to children in public schools is outrageous. It is inappropriate and will do to society what it is doing to Christian Churches wherever it is forced on people. Only schism in secular society is not as orderly as it is in Christian Churches. Darwin help us if the progressives win even more authoritarian-totalitarian rule over the populace.

I like to think I make a pretty good and civil argument when I debate here most of the time, because I'm self-conscious enough to think "Hey, if I say this, it's just going to put my opponent completely on the defensive, and will accomplish nothing."

I'd rather truth be presented no matter the cost. I am not here to proselytize. I present my positions the way I do for cause and effect. And, to always show my brothers and sisters in the faith, that our adversaries are cunning, smart, but nothing to fear. All that is needed is to stand up to bullies in the time-honored way.

You can say that because reproduction is the driving force behind most instincts that homosexuality is shot down by sheer science... Fine. But that doesn't give us the right to take the rights of gays away because we feel differently, by getting married they aren't hurting anybody.

You do realize that "I" do not oppose, nor do I care anything about same-gender civil unions? It has nothing whatsoever to do with Christian life. I don't oppose pagans or Muslims getting together either. But this gay thing, it is permeating every facet of life. It is demanded to be accepted.

I AM against gay marriage being specifically touched on in schools, but as far as I see it, Christians are offended by gays using the word marriage, because they see it as a word which has sanctity, while I see it as a term meaning the dedicated union between two people.

Everyone gets a civil union actually. GLBT's want the word "marriage" to justify and normalize their culture and sexual tastes. And they want this by force and rule. Have you ever noticed the sneaky and cunning little "Q" attached to the GLBT label? It stands for Questioning youth.

The gay agenda.

Every child that has even lived is a "questioning youth."

That is the reasoning it doesn't bother me, when they come after Don't Ask Don't Tell though, I'll be right there fighting it.

They are coming for Don't Ask, Don't Tell. It's a hate crime to GLBT activism, and they want to tell and ask children in public schools all about gay culture, gay sex and gay activism.

This is where the term "Gay Agenda" comes from. And this is why I connect Humanism to what this is all about and where it all came from.

The math is not that hard.

Why do non and anti Christians tell Christians how to be Christian?
What an odd question to ask. The reason why non-Christians tell Christians how to be Christian is because obviously many Christians don't know how to be Christians, and they need a little help in that area.
