Well, it didn’t take long for Debunking Christianity to self-destruct, now did it? Turns out we never needed to push their tuna wagon over the cliff—they did it on their own power.
Both Loftus and Exbeliever have now broadcast to whoever is still listening that evidence is irrelevant. Facts don’t matter. Truth is irrelevant.
So much for the seminary degrees. Just a façade.
So much for the “Outsider’s Test,” or variations thereof. Just a charade.
So much for the appeal to civil discourse. Calm, disinterested reason. All for show.
With the whistling-in-the-dark bravado of the schoolyard sissy, they insist that even if the God of Scripture did exist, and his existence were indubitable, they’d rather flip him off and go straight to hell.
In so doing they merely illustrate Paul’s point about the unbeliever in Rom 1.
Loftus and Exbeliever simply regurgitate threadbare objections that have been around since the days of Ingersoll and Thomas Paine—with an extra-helping of radical chic political correctness—just to advertise their inability to think for themselves. No one is more enslaved to group-think than a freethinker.
Objections that have been addressed time and again in Christian apologetics—both past and present.
Thank you John Loftus and Exbeliever for committing self-decapitation. There’s no point interacting any further with headless adversaries. We’ll leave that to Johnny Depp.
steve,
ReplyDeleteYou proved long ago that rational debate is impossible with you because you operate under the assumption that everything I say is a lie.
In this post, you've continued to demonstrate your willingness to attribute beliefs to your dialogue partners. You've said that my posts indicate that "Facts don’t matter. Truth is irrelevant."
You assert this inspite of my clear statement to the contrary--"But don't read this to mean that I refuse to be convinced of the 'truth' of Christianity. If it can be proven that Christianity is true, I'll shout it from the roof tops."
Facts clearly matter, truth is relevant. I will gladly hear arguments about the existence of your god and can be convinced by them. That doesn't mean, however, that I would follow that god.
Perhaps, though, you are simply assuming that I am lying again.
So, I do agree with you that "There’s no point interacting any further. . ." You've proven that you are not capable of a rational discussion because you constantly attribute false beliefs to people you wish to dialogue with.
Best wishes

ReplyDeleteExbeliever can't even quote himself correctly.

However, he conveniently edits out the rest of the quote:
My sermon title, however, would be, “There is a Real Son of a Bitch in Charge of This Universe; Run for Your Lives!”
So, you would preach its truth in order to turn people away from it, reject it, and bring down the wrath of God on yourself, which is exactly what Steve pointed out.
