OMG....I am dying with laughter! Why does everyone think that I am some kind of teenager? You know what? I give up! angry

Seriously? You have zero chance of convincing any atheist into crhistianity. or you, it is impossible. Every atheist here has complained about your Anonyism. Escaping arguments dubiously and asking questions rather than tabling evidence.

Unlike you, I have actually shown many peeps the light

Lol really? or you just insulted and bullied them into the darkness?

It is not my duty to convince anyone into Christ. It is the Holy Spirit that convicts a man. He can save you the same way He saved me from my former foolishness called atheism.

1) The bible tells you to spread the faith not the holy ghost

2) If you describe atheism as foolishness, you were never an atheist.


You know the difference between me and you?

People can say that I'm abusive (and I agree at times) but you will hardly find someone that will claim that I am dishonest.

All atheists here have unanimously granted you a certificate of dishonesty in your arguments. There is no chance in hell that you can ever convince any thinking atheist to christianity with your behaviour

Ah, sweet revenge! smiley You can now tell someone to his face that he never was an atheist because he calls atheism foolishness when yourself would never accept testimony that you never were a Christian when that testimony takes into account your non-existent comprehension of Christianity. grin

I was a christian- I believed in Jesus and went to church. There is material evidence to my claims

Anony claims to have been an atheist, however, Anony has never even one day said one thing positive about atheism. He lies that it leads to satanism and calls it "foolishness".

And which of those tasks the Christian with "spreading the faith and not the Holy Ghost"? If you knew Christianity, you'd know that the Faith of the Lord Jesus a.k.a. the Gospel is inseperable from the Holy Ghost.

Yawn. Anony said that it is the holy ghost's job to convince people to the faith. I disagreed and said that it was the christian's job.

You really should look into that brain fatigue, you yawn too much when you suddenly get faced with brainwork. Makes it look like you're going completely brain-dead.

Meeehn, you done muddled things up, made a right pretty mess of it all. sad The Christian is the Holy Spirit's instrument for bringing the Word aka the Gospel aka the knowledge of the Faith to you, but the conviction, that persuasion in the heart is not the believer's job. It's his. Furthermore, just as your car can be said to take you to London, it is you who drive it there.

In like manner, the Holy Spirit "drives" the believer to share Him with a struggling unbeliever. In sharing the Faith, it is the Holy Spirit that the Christian shares and the Holy Spirit persuades the heart to let Him in. Only He can entreat the heart, nobody but God has the reins of a man's heart. And the Holy Spirit is mighty good at His job, though the heart can be steeled against His gentle entreaties, and quite a number of times is.

so the holy spirit, who is actually god almighty, is the one tasked with responsibility of making people become true christians. In that case, looking at christian to non-christian ratio, he is sure doing a lousy job, cos satan evidently knows better than him how to win more souls.

The heart only pumps blood to all parts of the body it has nothing to do with thoughts. . .The writers of the bible falsely thought the heart is what is responsible for thought and reasoning. When a person is anxious his heart beats faster as such they falsely thought reasoning comes from the heart. They didn't know anything about the brain. The bible is the word of ancient men that do not have as much knowledge as we now do. . .

But when you bother to assume this imaginary entity to be real (or join us in our imagination, as the case may be wink), you can't make up your mind if He's a bully or a wimp. You accuse Him both of being overbearing because He's the strongest and being too weak. It's not clear what you think He should be.

Anyhow, are there relationships you think are better with one paricipant resigning to the other's power/influence?

Anonyism is deceitful tactics employing both straw men and asking vague questions to escape the focus of the argument especiaaly when you are being debunked.


Example 1

Logicboy; the evolutionary basis of morality has to do with survival instincts that form our basic morality

Anony; What is the exact value of human life? If you cant give me the value then your argument is wrong.


==================================


Example 2

Logicboy; the evolutionary basis of morality has to do with survival instincts that form our basic morality

Anony; Evolution has no purpose and can not affect morality.

Well, shall we analyse the bolded? smiley

In the book of Sir Logicboy, knight of atheism, the following terms are defined rather interestingly

- straw men
- vague questions
- to escape the focus of the argument
- being debunked

I shall here provide said definitions according to said book and provide the implication of them in the above quote. Ahem.

1. Straw men = other forms of logicboy's arguments that expose the flaws in his arguments.

Given Sir Logicboy's extremely poor cognitive ability, it is not very surprising, is it, that he calls very relevant parallels of his argument straw men.

2. Vague questions = questions that Sir Logicboy either cannot comprehend (almost always that, in fact) or which he recognizes as capable of destroying his arguments (hardly ever this, actually).

Again, considering Sir Logicboy's contracting intellect, it is hardly surprising that he finds pretty lucid questions vague. He could ask for clarification but doing so might jeopardise his arguments. It's not very likely that he has enough intelligence to see that answering those questions would destroy his arguments though, so it's highly unlikely that he deliberately refuses to request clarification.

3. To escape the focus of the argument = to pick out flaws in logicboy's arguments especially by addressing the implications of those arguments which implications logicboy calls "straw men" (see #1 above).

Given Sir Logicboy's very narrow intellect, he does not recognize that arguments are like armies with flanks, arrow heads, rear guard and whatnots. As such an opening in the flanks, or anywhere else for that matter, is enough to bring the whole thing down upon itself. All he's able to see is that an argument has gone awry and always right at the beginning.

4. Being debunked = an exclamation of frustration.

Given Sir Logicboy's narrowing intellect and poor learning ability, he repeats his mistakes pretty often. As a result he suffers pretty much the same consequences. And given that the cycle has perpetuated itself, Sir Logicboy is stuck in a loop of frustration. So everytime he gets stuck in an argument, he uses recycled exclamations like "epic fail!" and "debunked!"
