Guys, help me out. Was I rude? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
it may be normal ethics for an atheist or non christian to flame others when they disagree with them especially when they don't believe in objective morality. But that is not normal among christian circles. And seeing that you are a guest here on a christian forum, I would ask you to be nicer in general, specifically in the areas of mocking, belittling, name calling and others. That is the last post I will address from you. You did excellent for weeks, it was this last week that you got a bit emotional during the losing parts of your debates.

I’ve been here for over a decade. I can tell you with full confidence that my tone with you has been perfectly consistent with the normative standards of this community. I’ve been perfectly cordial. Never once did I mock, belittle, name-call or goad you. I really do not appreciate being falsely accused of poor conduct. I have corrected you and held your feet to the fire, and I can understand why that might have been uncomfortable for you, but I urge you to go back through our conversations and see who was really the one who got emotional. I absolutely understand why you feel that I started chasing you down irrelevant rabbit holes because I was “losing,” but if you’d stuck with me you’d have seen why those points were actually integral to the conversation. I could just as easily say you resort to accusations of mockery whenever you start to lose. You probably wouldn’t appreciate that.

There’s an old saying. If you run into one rude person a day, that person was rude. If you’re running into rude people all day, you’re the rude one. How many people have you blocked this week?

I can post quotes where you exhibited rude behaviour, ad hominems, and flames, but they are mostly in another thread. At least half a dozen or so in the last few weeks. So I will do it there if I have time. But I am still praying about it, if it is worth my time. But I don't lie, I however could be mistaken. So if I have time I will, if not then I will leave it.

You were mistaken. I’d never accuse someone of lying unless I knew for sure. And I’d never flame someone if I felt I was losing. Maybe you were flamed by someone else, but not me. I do recall you mistook me for someone else a few times back in another thread.

you and I have been the only one's talking for weeks. So it was you. I will spend some time and create a post where you have belittled and were rude.

perhaps you can use it as a learning experience.

Wait. You and I were talking too. And I even said "ha ha" at you which apparently not only was very offensive but was also a logical fallacy.

that is mocking, and you may have posted but I was ignoring the posts at that time, I believe. He and I were the only ones talking this week and last in that thread

At the risk of looking extremely petty, I'm linking you to my response to these accusations here, just as you have linked me to them. The Moral Argument (revamped)

This "discussion" reminds me of.....

blocked. Sorry sir I have warned you in the past. I have shown grace before. But now I must block you permanently. I have blocked dozens of people in the past, and there are still plenty of athiests to debate.

sins that are done publicly need to be exposed publicly. That is why I posted here. If it was flaming in a personal message I would have kept it private.

a philosophy 101 classa friend was in opened up the first day of class with " Heaven has gotta be the most boring place". That sums up the unbelievers view of heaven. Hell does not seem that bad at that point. But they need to know, the soul is eternal because their is no mass to the soul. Einsteins theory of relativity requires mass to have time applied. If there is no mass there is no time. We have an eternity in hell or Heaven.


I highly recommend that you tube channel, always full of hope and positive stuff

Posting video's like that is similar to posting memes that make fun of people. You are basically making fun of the discussion we are having. All debate can get emotional yes, but that is when you have to either stop the discussion, do some reporting of posts, or block people. I choose to block people rather than report them. But I thought it was a meme at first. But the point is the same, mocking people or their posts is not nice, nor is it logical. I won't be addressing any more of your posts. I hope that some of the things I mention stick with you. Jesus loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. I can't speak of him highly enough, He has delivered me from car accidents, skin cancer, and several addictions. He is amazing. And besides that you get the bonus of heaven. Think about it.

A sense a little defensiveness in this thread.
I noticed if I don't nip stuff in the bud, I start becoming mean myself and feeding into it. So it's always better to take the higher road in life.
