They don’t care if we are “saved” they are care if they win the argument.

Problem is we are winning.

Oh now that ends it. This is all just an argument for you folks? Well then, if we aren’t arguing we will just let you have whatever. I was under the mistaken impression it was an open thread. Sorry, See ya.

The only one who wins is the one who stands in Christ. That is the one who is truly saved I was unaware this was a contest I see it more as an opportunity to speak truth. The only vote or approval I care about is that of my Lord.

What do you expect to win?

Problem is we are winning.

Winning like Charlie Sheen. Oh what a feeling!

Todays lesson is brought to you by the letter "E"

---

A. If you say something along the lines of “the moderators might ban me for saying this, but…” then you lost.

B. Anyone who says “well, ban me if you want to, but…” is actually saying; “in the name of a loving God, please ban me because I am losing this argument so badly that my only hope of escaping it with a shred of dignity is if I can make myself out to be some sort of martyr to free speech.”

C. If you claim to have supporting evidence available online, but instead of linking to it you say “Look it up yourself,” you lose. Similarly to the banning thing, “look it up yourself” clearly means “please please please don’t look it up yourself.” It’s an admission of failure.

D. If you invoke the name of a logical fallacy without explaining its relevance, you lose. Logical fallacies are not Harry Potter spells. You don’t just get to shout them out and wiggle your wand to make magic happen. Plus, there’s a logical meta-fallacy: Just because someone’s making an error in reasoning doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

E. If you claim to be winning, you lose. This should be self-evident: If you’re so desperate that you have to tell someone you’re winning, you’re obviously not. http://www.wired.com/underwire/2012/12/alt-text-internet-arguments
