well, regardless if its true or not; its sick and double minded if one cannot point out the bigotry in one's racism, yet, one can also condemn one as an evil doing heathen because the Bible does that.
but, in a debate, you can point out the fallacy of one's perceptions by pointing out unjust bigotry.
Sure, you cant call someONE a bigot, but you can point out one's bigotry.
Let me remind you that I did not refer to intercourse between members of the same sex as an abomination. I pointed out that God refers to it that wayNo you can't call other members evil doing heathens, you can't call them bigots either. Just as MachZer0 has to restrict himself to referring to intercourse between members of the same sex as an abomination, so must you refrain from calling other members bigots. In a debate (this is a debate forum after all) you address the points another person is making, you don't attack the person themselves, you don't make personal remarks, you don't ridicule them, you don't condemn them for their point of view.
Now, this is a clearly worded rule, for a change.In a debate (this is a debate forum after all) you address the points another person is making, you don't attack the person themselves, you don't make personal remarks, you don't ridicule them, you don't condemn them for their point of view.
Ok, I'm a new poster and I'm saying that racial segregation is Biblical and that all this multculturalism is anti-God, because God wants us all to be separate.
How would you formulate a response to such a poster which included a reference to the posters views as 'bigotry' but could not be considered a personal attack against them?

You can point out contradictions or inconsistencies between things said. Bigotry describes a mindset.but, in a debate, you can point out the fallacy of one's perceptions by pointing out unjust bigotry.
I don´t think so. Either way it is an ad hominem.Sure, you cant call someONE a bigot, but you can point out one's bigotry.
I agree certainly, but in the specific case in question, it was the other party who brought God's perspective into the discussion. I merely pointed out that what God said was in direct contradiction to what the poster here saidErgo, Christians are supposed to agree/believe with/in everything "God has said", and thus, if you agree with God, thus, you agree that homosexuality is an abomination, regardless if you have said it or not.
Correct?
The best I can tell, that violates no rule
In this case, I would consider myself part of the solution
