Are you going to apologize to Cabal for breaking forum rules and doubting his faith?
LOL --- and I mean --- LOL.

I've been called everything but what's in my profile.

Last Thursday, OEC, YEC, Omphalos, liar, deceiver, troll, supertroll --- I could go on.

Mamma --- de la rosas de los angeles --- mia.

This is pure aurum.

I'm sorry I called you an atheist Cabal, but you really seem to agree with them alot

Apology accepted

Even among Christians, there's differences of opinion - some of which will have some overlap with the beliefs of non-Christians.

Without being too picky about it, non-Christians think 2+2=4 and that breathing oxygen is a good thing - doesn't mean I have to disagree with them by default just because they're non-believers.

There are, of course, a few notable exceptions to this.
Ya --- like what you guys call 'aboriginals' --- yet they could make the Frisbie Pie Company blush.

And I won't even bring up the Hebrews.

Care to quote precisely where the Bible says that Adam and Eve knew and understood the exact consequences of eating the fruit?
Good --- that's what I like to see.

That retreat into show-me-exactly-where-the-Bible-says-that that tells me the conversation is over, and I have made my point.

That's how you guys think you've won arguments against such things as the 'Rapture' and the 'Trinity'.

So you're not going to?

Didn't think so.

Don't think you can.

Hey, we're not the "literalists" who always answer questions with "check the Documentation" and "the Bible says it - that settles it."

If you can't stick to your own standards, why should anyone believe what you have to say?

--- this is getting better by the minute.

Call me a liar, call me a deceiver --- no problem.

But call me an 'atheist', and I should seek an apology?

Erm....no.

Accusing someone of not being Christian is a specific rule, and it was specifically violated here.

The flame rule is something else.

Not saying it's not wrong, just a different situation. Although if you're trying to draw parallels, you can always...well...bring up the same accusations? Might be a bit more effective?

But you can ask for apologies if you feel so inclined.

Not sure how many people will stick up for you though.

Because you guys like to ask ad hoc questions.

Stuff you know isn't in the Bible.

You won't ask where the water came from during the Flood --- no, sir.

Instead you'll [plural] ask where it went.

This is why I always say that if you can't get past Genesis 1, you're in for a doosey of a ride, as it only gets harder from there.

God creates the universe by just speaking = no questions asked.

But let God preserve a containment vessel through rough weather, and that raises eyebrows.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that we are trying to make sense of your beliefs. At least I am not. The reason for me asking questions like that is to hear you attempt to justify your beliefs. When you can not do so (and you almost never can), that highlights for those not as dogmatically fixed as you just how ridiculous those beliefs are, thus "saving souls" in my own way.

Oh, man.

Okie-doke, Cabal.

Let's hear it for vigilance.

No one's gonna get away with breaking any rules with you cops around, are they?

I get flamed maybe ten times a [slow] day, and not one of you law-abiding citizens chime in to help.

--- man --- nevermind --- this is wayyyy too funny.

I can't believe this --- I really can't.

Want some cheese with... never mind.

The questions we ask should have no effect on your standards. If you have to alter your standards in order to answer a basic question like "That flood involved a lot of water, WHERE GO IT" then I'd say the problem is in your initial interpretations.

Of course, there is the other option, admit you don't know and maybe reconsider your interpretations, but somehow I get the feeling that's not for you.


No, we're talking about the inherent contradiction in being a Biblical literalist and yet having your entire view hinge on extraBiblical speculation. That is what raises eyebrows.
