Re: Greetings

I like how you act like you've know me my whole life.

I'm at school right now, actually. Thank you for asking. <3

Son, I have known many kids like you. You all think you are so special and unique. I have a message for you.... you are not, you are the same as your parents were when they were kids. You callous attitude about God and your fellow man is the downfall of modern society.

Ah, in class 'sexting' when you should be paying attention to the teacher and learning something. A future illiterate in the making.

Re: Greetings

Depends on how you define "side" and which truth/lie ratio you assign to each.

The only side we wish to commit 100% to is the Truth, as it is revealed by God. We cannot expect to commit 50% to God and still expect 100% entry to Heaven, right?


As a matter of fact, we happen to know Someone who does

Don't muddle religion with politics. It doesn't work that way and for good reason, too.

I hope God doesn't tell you all the nasty things I've done in the past.

I never said anything about me being special or unique. My parents were actually much different than me growing up. I'm actually going to college

Sexting? Oh, no. We're talking about how to argue effectively. Judging by how this discussion is going, I'm pretty confident I know how to do that well- seeing I was captain in my high schools debate team and I have an A in this class.

Nice try though.

Did your debate class cover fallacies? Because you managed to combine an appeal to authority fallacy with a begging the question fallacy.

Why, yes, we did. We actually used Rush Limbaugh as an example of a person who uses logical fallacies. But, if I may ask, who are you to tell me that anything I've said is a fallacy?

You may ask, but the answer would be irrelevant -- it does not matter in a rational debate who the participants are. Only the arguments matter. Otherwise, you venture very quickly into fallacy-territory.

No, you are not doing very well. First, I am not arguing with you We do not argue. we discuss. First fail
Confidence is a fools game, like checkers. Second fail.
Bravado is false self esteem. Third fail

Three strikes friend.

You have a long way to go son. A very long way.

Seeing that this entire thread is about me, I'd love for you to show me something I've said that is considered fallacy. Hard to do when you don't know me.

Don't twist my words around in order to support your "discussion". I introduced myself on here, clearly stating that I don't consider myself as a Christian. What were you honestly expecting when you asked me those questions?

But, hey, when you're this cool, you don't really bother with the details.

The above.

I don't have to know you to point out a fallacy. That's the whole point of rational discourse. It's about the arguments and only about the arguments, not about the people who make the argument.

For example, if a retard argues that 1 + 1 = 2, would it be logical to respond "HAH, 1+1 cannot ever equal 2, because a retard said it!" -- no, it would not be.

Any retard can be right by accident. It takes reason and logic to be right on purpose.

If you're not a Christian, then why are you here? Did satan send you?

That's a cool story, bro.

It would be a start.

But seriously, I think everyone pretty much missed my original post on purpose. You see, I came on here to see if you judgmental ass-hats would be as bad as I thought you were. From just scanning through this forum, I knew what to expect. I even tried taking a 'neutral' approach in order to avoid any confrontation. Obviously, you guys have your heads so far up your own asses that you're forgotten your manors. Oh well, I guess they don't call it Psychosis for a reason.

One of my favorite quotes from Huckleberry Finn went something like this....

"If the likes of she is going to heaven, then I'll gladly go to hell!"

Peace out guys.

Re: Greetings

You see, I came on here to see if you judgmental ass-hats would be as bad as I thought you were.

So by your own admission, you came in here with preconceived ideas. And now that you got your ass handed to you by people far more intelligent than you, you run away crying. How mature

Obviously, you guys have your heads so far up your own asses that you're forgotten your manors.

Personal attack. You get a failing grade, friend. Oh, and it's "manners".

Oh well, I guess they don't call it Psychosis for a reason.

Another personal attack. Fallacy.

Is this the style of reasoning you learned in "debate class"?

Son, I did not twist any words about. Please feel free to show me where I erred.
You were talking about how you were a master debater. Someone who is very full of himself (like many adolescents do) I merely pointing out how many of your self proclaimed strong points were in fact, weak points. So, it turns out you are the one feebly attempting to twist words. LOL, that makes it fail four.
