Why am I suddenly reminded of Billy Madison?

Nothing actually stated there resembled an argument against Co-habitation. It barely qualified as an argument against the points Ana brought up. Yeesh, what a weak return volley.

Have you seen the logic used by TCMDave in other debates? Making no sense is par for the course.

The Carnal Man cant understand the things of God because he prefers to distance himself from his Creator. So matters of Godly living, principles, morality, etc....are foreign to such a person , and in fact, an affront. Regards.

Only to those who don't wish to be the recipient of sound , moral, logic ... and who find pleasure in suppressing their God prescribed moral conscience so they can live as they like for a few short earthly decades.

We understand. You don't do well with those who don't subscribe to your personal brand of theology.

How would you know Dave? You were never an atheist.

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed members of the CF community, don't be disappointed in my opponent's first post. I understand why it might appear lacking to some of you...but make no mistake, it is a brilliant first post. I implore you, read it again...because this is the kind of argument to make when your position lacks any kind of validity. When you have no reasons for anyone to support your position, when the facts are not in your favor, you should do exactly as David has...draw attention away from the big picture by placing a flashy frame around it. Well I'm sorry Dave, good frames won't save bad paintings.


OUCH. Ana, you have a way with words. :D

I was a professed atheist for about 10 adult years in fact. I know all the ins and outs of atheism including its lifestyle, motives, desires, and the strong desire to keep distanced from our Creator. I also shacked up with a couple different women during that time so I know about the lifestyle and the self centeredness behind it .

There aren´t many things that disqualify you from being an atheist, but the desire to keep distanced from your Creator certainly is.

Tell us you're perceptions of the atheist lifestyle.

Uh, Dave, if you believed in a God, then you weren't an atheist.

I also shacked up with a couple different women during that time so I know about the lifestyle and the self centeredness behind it .

So you led a self-centered lifestyle that you now regret. That's unfortunate. Would you like to stop acting like that automatically applies to the 15% of the world's population which is non-religious and atheistic? I'm not aware of any particular atheistic lifestyle; I reckon my lifestyle, based around humanism and utilitarianism is quite a bit different from the lifestyle of a buddhist monk (who also does not believe in any god). Either way, your broad brush does not apply to me, and it does not apply to any of the atheists I know.
