Try not being so literalistic.
It's your philosophy -- not mine.

I'm not the one going around saying we're mutant, copy errors.

I'm sure you don't either -- but your philosophy says it for you.

How about this creature? Not a dinosaur, but it does have a navel.

Then a mosque would be evidence of Allah. A Hindu temple would be evidence of Shiva. Are you saying that your evidence of God is on the same order as that?
You forget who you're talking to, don't you?

You don't think Allah and Shiva are real?

How about Thor, Neptune, or Quetzalcoatl?

IMO, Paul Bunyan was a Nephilim who really existed.

No, that is your misinterpretation of the Bible again. Why would you limit your God in the way that you do? Do you think that he was no different from the Greek Gods? That appears to be your belief.

And yes, technically you are a series of mutant copy errors that went through billions of years of filters. What is wrong with that? Why does reality scare you so much?

Actually you have a point. He did write quite a bit about dinosaurs. None of them had navels.
Well God wrote about one that did.

So ... what's the deal here?

So what? According to your story He must be dust.

Disgusting.


It bothers me that a Christian would willfully misrepresent what other Christians believe just to attempt to gain rhetorical advantage in an internet chatroom.
Are we done now, Speedwell?

I hope.

You are once again being logically inconsistent. That is why you always lose when you debate.


You asked if churches were evidence for God. That seemed to be you trying to imply that they were. You took it back when you realized that mosques are evidence for Allah by that standard.

We have already discussed that such impossible creatures would destroy evolution. If you don't want the Nobel Prize in biology, I'll gladly take it.
God gets it.

What???

Allah is real.

A real fallen angel.

Had he not come to Earth and convince Mohammad of his existence, there would be no mosques.

What I'm saying is:

Allah came first -- then the mosques.

No Allah = no mosques.

Ditto for Thor, Shiva, Quetzalcoatl, et alii.

We are.

I don't think Raquel would appreciate you dreaming about being with her in her prime.

Would you?

Given Raquel Welch made her name as a model / actor, she's probably more than used to that.

Why???

Would it bother you if Madalyn O'hair fantasized about being with you in your prime?
Let/s not quote out of context. That is dishonest. You ignored the part the refuted your nonsense. That too is an admission that you are wrong.

As to "Madalyn O'hair" fantasizing about me that would not bother me at all. Why should it? Even less than the word of others not hurting you, their thoughts hurt you even worse. You are probably just jealous.

No, you misunderstand your own "logic" once again. By your standards there is the same "evidence" of Allah as the creator of the universe, or Shiva, or any other being, as there is of your God.

When one cannot be consistent in one's argument one loses. You don't get to backtrack and try to change your argument after the fact. Your argument was for a building being evidence for a deity. That has to apply to all deities, not your personal interpretation of what those deities are.
