What kind of sin involves a straw man?

[Virginia-American]

Isn't it a form of false witnessing?

Am I missing something here?

Reminds me of a Jewish girl I knew in the '60s. I was reading the paper and said something about the Archbishop of Canterbuty, "Primate of England". She couldn't stop laughing

Actually, the Primate of England is the Archbishop of York. The Archbishop of Canterbuty is the Primate of All England

[spunkets]

It was a joke. LOL. I couldn't help it.

That I do not know. I just like using "Jack Chick" and "research" in the same sentence.

Biped ping.

Nope. Laws are just mathematical descriptions of empirical regularities. For example physical objects attract each other with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and the inverse square of the distance between them. That's the law of gravity.

I think we should start calling it "the regularity of gravity". Either that or start agitating for the gov't to really get serious about enforcing the law of gravity. We should send the space police out to bring the Pluto probe back to justice! (Or... bring justice to the Pluto probe. >:-)

"Your ship is thinking pal.

ROTFL, I didn't notice that!

[balch3]

absolute baloney.

[jennyp]

That we share evolution with the apes is obvious, to claim we share it with one subspecies of ape is ridiculous.

Wait - are you admitting that we're evolutionarily related to the apes?

[Dimensio]

What are your authoratative credentials?

[jennyp]

People can believe whatever they want- it's a free universe. Although, you have God to thank for that will and freedom in the first place. He's also holding every proton into place in every nucleus in your body as we speak/type. You should at least say thanks- :)

The words of warpcorebreach are true and wise. What do you think all those cases of spontaneous human combustion are, if not God releasing his hold on all the nucleii inside particularly ungrateful people?

[jennyp]

If given the chance, I never run out of arguments.

<snicker>... not a bad candidate.

What kind of sin involves a straw man?

A hay-nous one.

[spunkets]

LOL! Very good!

[RadioAstronomer]

LOL! :-)

[shuckmaster]

To say we where made in His image is to say that we share in His spirit.

Where does it say you get to make it up as you go?

[shuckmaster]

As soon as I find the links, I'll post them here.

What should we expect from a liar but another lie?

"More closely related" is a relative term. It's a bit like saying that, looking east, I'm closer to Berlin than Tehran (I'm in Alabama). Of course, parsing is not a creationist strongpoint, so I don't hold your inability to see the distinction against you.

[Junior]

Everyone is "somebody." You might not like your potential notoriety, though.
