Atlantis Found

[Bungle_Bear]

because the truth is obvious

Indeed it is

and you fail to accept

Do not project your own failings onto others.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Do not project your own failings onto others.

I accept Atlantis is found

 

[Bungle_Bear]

I accept Atlantis is found, it's not difficult

We were talking about failing to accept the truth. Do keep up.

 

[JohnEmmett]

If the heavens, stripped of his noble imprint,
Could ever cease to attest to his being,
If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
Let the wise man announce him and kings fear him.
Voltaire

but I'm becoming tired…

 

[Kylie]

faith is the emphasis of religion and this topic also


your request for evidence is misguided

If it's all about faith, why did you attempt to use reason to convince us you were right?

reason would convince someone who has faith

reason would convince someone who has faith

No, it doesn't. You are a prime example.

 

[JohnEmmett]

No, it doesn't. You are a prime example.

you're recalcitrant also

 

[Bungle_Bear]

you're recalcitrant also

We were talking about you, not me. Such deflection is a poor defence.

…

 

[Bungle_Bear]

please continue to be recalcitrant


I made clear the consequence

Yeah, yeah. You threatened me like a bully. At the same time you failed to address any argument contrary to your own.

Is that what passes for effective debate in your part of the world?

While you're meditating on your navel, you should probably learn the meaning of "recalcitrant". It doesn't mean what you appear to think it means.

Are you claiming to be an authority, or do you admit you got the meaning wrong?

there is no reason to continue this discussion

 

[Bungle_Bear]

there is no reason to continue this discussion

It's not really a discussion, is it? That's another word you may want to look up.

let's stop

reason would convince someone who has faith

No it doesn't. The whole idea of faith is that you accept it ON faith, rather than accepting it on evidence. Please look at the second quote in my signature.

You've provided no authority.

We'd be perfectly willing to accept your claims if there was good evidence backing them up.
