did you ever hear of paragraphs or is this your first time posting?
Too lazy to write your own post? You should credit when you copy/paste someone elses post.
I know you got zotted, but I'd like to point out how much I enjoy this jazz where every atheist has somehow evolved the ability to read the minds of Christians over the Internet. Truly, an awesome example of a beneficial mutation.
If narses wants to use one of my quotes verbatim without crediting me he is certainly free to do so, he and I have been FRiends a long time, I trust him completely.
Do you agree or disagree with my post?
Why are you changing the subject instead of answering the question?
Which question? Is God the Intelligent Designer? I already said yes. But you won't answer will you.
I already did.
I agree that Thomas Jefferson was a flawed sinner just like the rest of us. Jefferson was not a traditional Christian, but he was hardly an atheist and he was but one of the Founding Fathers. Many would like to pretend that Jefferson was the most important Founding Father, I do not subscribe to this point of view.
That is what I said. Thanks for agreeing with me.
Do you agree that the Founding Fathers were generally Christians who founded America on Judeo-Christian principles? YES or NO.
Neither of which addresses the fact that Creationists are too Cretarded to even figure out if belief in evolution makes one a humanist who worships humanity, or an anti-humanist who denigrates mankind as ‘nothing more than an ape’. Seriously cretarded.
You're going to have to face it some time. The teaching of evolution, which is an atheistic and humanistic philosophy, does have it's impact on the thinking, values, and morals of society.
And yes, if can go either way.
If can cause people to either think that humankind is the epitome of creation, or that we are merely animals, a sack of chemicals which chemical reactions control our thoughts and actions.
The teaching of evolution is not without its effect on thinking and where our culture is going, whether you like it or not.
And as for the term *cretarded*, are you really the 10 year old that you talk like? Sheesh, that's seriously immature, little boy talk.
Why do you keep going off topic on threads to harass me about things that the thread isn’t about?
Why are you carrying that from thread to thread?
And Jefferson, although not adhering to all traditional Christian theology, completely accepted all basic Christian morality and essential world view.
To try to argue that because he did not accept or adhere to all traditional Christain theology somehow renders him an atheist who would embrace the evil that such people who argue this also promote, is the greatest deceit, and it is hard to believe that they are even sincere in this misrepresentation.
They know they are misusing him.
When people are steeped in envy and anger, they lose their sense of proportion, among other things...
Additionally, Jefferson kept his nontraditional views OUT of the Declaration of Independence which was his primary contribution as a Founding Father.
No, you didn't. There's no where on this thread from post 197 on, where you answered the question of whether or not you are taking OldSpice's side in the debate.
Your responses since then have been:
post 202 :Typical response. When you can't refute the facts, you make a personal attack.
post 207 :If you go back and look at my posts you will see that I have never posted anything of that sort.
post 211 :I already addressed that on my first post in this thread.
post 213 :When quoting someone else, you should put the words in quotes and give them credit. Otherwise, it is plagerizing.
post 216 :No. You copied/pasted someone else's words and didn't give credit.
post 222 :Too lazy to write your own post? You should credit when you copy/paste someone elses post.
post 225 :Do you agree or disagree with my post?
post 227 :Which question? Is God the Intelligent Designer? I already said yes. But you won't answer will you.
post 230 :That is what I said. Thanks for agreeing with me.
So, CW, you did not already do it, as is documented here. You've deflected and avoided and outright lied about responding, as demonstrated by the posts you've posted since the question was put to you in post 197, but you did NOT answer the question.
So, here's another chance....
mm post 197:Are you taking the the former troll's side in this debate? Because it sure looks that way from your comments.
“Are you taking the the former troll’s side in this debate? Because it sure looks that way from your comments.”
How can that be, when I called his arguments “road apples?”
If your point is that these wars prove that Europe was not civilized despite Christianity's presence there, perhaps you could find us a "civilized" country with a government founded on atheism. Shouldn't be too hard...you have every communist country and Germany from 1933-1945 to choose from.
Oh, and just one more thing: Your civilized fellow atheists killed almost twice as many people during the Tet Offensive than died in 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition. In fact, the number of civilians massacred at Hue by the Cong was almost as high as the lower end estimates for the inquisition (2,800 vs. 3,000) and in March, 1975 they killed possibly as many as 150,000 people (including tens of thousands of refugees) with constant shelling in an incident known as the "column of tears."
Too bad you're gone...I can do this all day.
You called OldSpice's (the zotted troll) arguments "road apples", metmom is talking whether or not ColdWater agrees with the troll.
