This ALWAYS happens when arguing with religious people. You use odds when it's convenient for you, you use logic when it's convenient for you, you use faith when it's convenient for you, you use whatever is convenient for you at the time.

Let's give this man a hand-- he understands the most basic part of propaganda and debate.

Look at this example here. You say that guy had no basis for thinking that some rich guy made up the story about god, yet you read the story out of a book that you don't know who made it. It could have been monkeys that wrote that book for all you know, yet you believe this book.

Actually it was written by a variaty of authors spanning the last tenthousand or so years and put together by the council of carthage in-- 414 AD I believe. Then again, I could be wrong about the date.

Please, do be a little more intelligent in your posts.

And then you say "Do you really believe that they were all just "made up" by one man who felt like keeping his "village" in order?" So know you're using simple logic, eh? Well do YOU really think that there's such a thing as a superbeing with magical powers?

Would it shock you if I said yes? Isn't that what this debate is about? I understand you were using that as an example-- as poor as it is-- but when you have undeniable proof that the Bible wasn't just written off the top of someone's head, then you kinda think a little bit differantly.

The origional manuscripts are still around-- for the most part anyway-- and I welcome you to take a gander at them and tell me that all of the books of the Bible were written by some village idiot who wanted to keep his friends in line.

Just use logic. You can't prove there's god. You can't prove there's ever been something/someone that is at all similar to god. You can't prove there's a heaven or hell. You can't prove there ever was a garden of eden or whatever. You can't find me anyone that can prove that. So using very simple logic, I've come to the conclusion god just isn't real.

As I said before-- which you seemingly overlooked in your haste to respond-- I don't intend on proving it. I don't intend on giving you all the answers. I guess I should make it clear that "IIII Dooooon't haaaaave alllll theeeeee aaaaansweeeers." And neither do you.

Again, using the same logic, you can't prove that he doesn't exist so I come to the conclusion that he is real.


Chris-- I'm getting the feeling that I may have created some animosity between our two selves. This is a good thing.


Joeiss-- if you get the chance, IM me later and we'll talk about some ofyour questions. My AIM handle is LeonMagnolis, and MSN is LeonMagnolis@hotmail.com . I can't give you all the answers, but I'll do what I can to help you reach them yourself.



Now keep the dubloons coming. I want to start a gambling club here and I'm gonna need at least a thousand to get that up and running.



Euch, I just saw the other posts and I'll get back to them tomorrow. I need my beauty sleep-- and you;d aggree too if you took a look at my ugly mug.
