I'm simply stating a fact. Ever since I kicked James to the curb by exposing his inability to back up his conjecture, the beehive of atheists here has swarmed to defend their queen.
Wow..
Don't you feel embarrassed when you write these things?
James listed examples of what can render emotions and the feeling of love. Just because you are incapable of understanding such feelings or emotions does not mean he is wrong.
Who is 'Jeebus'? Oh, are you referring to Jesus as 'Jeebus' in order to childishly ridicule literally hundreds of millions of people who follow Christianity.
It is actually from The Simpsons. But I understand how someone highbrow like yourself could never lower yourself to the lowly forms of entertainment like The Simpsons. This is evidenced by your coming into internet forums and giving every cliche one could imagine a high school jock giving from a football themed movie from the 80's.
I'd be offended if I were Christian and held you in any esteem whatsoever. Luckily you've shown yourself incapable of comprehending basic English or reading the posts of your idols in their totality, so I'm taking what you say with a grain of salt.
Awww.. Is that meant to be a dig? Is this you kicking my "ass" to the curb? Yeah, you go girl.
I politely asked James to support a statement he made.
Tali89, the only things you have been posting since you joined this site has been rude and offensive and your sole role here has been to abuse and insult the moderators. You have rarely ventured out of this mindset. As a result, you come off looking like an uneducated hack like Sarah Palin clutching her big gulp in her hot little hands. To suggest you have been polite is to suggest that
Clint Eastwood was not talking to an empty chair on that stage. We all know the chair was empty. Just as we all know you probably do not even know or understand the meaning of polite. Ergo, no, you were not polite. You were just being true to form.
And here you are trying to pick a fight with me (yet again) after he flubs his answer.
Firstly, he didn't flub any answer. Just because you do not understand human emotions, does not mean he flubbed his answer.
Secondly.. Good heavens. Are you incapable of having a discussion without resorting to ridiculous violent imagery? "Fight", "kicking ass to curb", "spanked"..
For a supposedly non-religious group, you sure behave a manner reminiscent of a cult.
By responding to unreasonable beliefs with reason?
THE HORROR!
Nope. I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of atheists criticizing theists for believing in something that they feel is ill-defined and lacking in empirical evidence, when said atheists believe in 'love', which they can't concisely define and provide empirical evidence of.
He did provide evidence of it. This has been explained to you, even with simple small words. Love is an emotion that manifests itself through words and actions, which he clearly gave examples of. No such claims can ever be made about God.
Unless you wish to claim that God is an emotion that is incapable of manifesting itself at all?
Knock yourself out. I don't think you are doing Jan or other theists any favours, but hey, it's your call.
He sounds butthurt because he was called on a claim he couldn't support.
How does one sound butthurt? Can you please demonstrate?
Because at no time did he not support his claim, nor did he fail to answer your question.
That's usually how atheists react when they are shown to be just as religious in their beliefs as even the most devout theist.
What beliefs do atheists have? Can you please provide a "concise list"?
Or is it because atheists react by providing examples and explaining them? Is that what the problem is?
Then after they have been verbally spanked in an argument, they scuttle off to a moderators' forum to try and get that person banned. Sound familiar, Bells?
Ah Tali89. Usually we have a bit of a laugh. Other times, we discuss reports about an individual.
We often get reports about other members, yourself included and we action those reports as per this site's rules. And after your.. ermm.. display in this thread, it isn't a matter of trying to get you banned, but frankly, trying to discuss why you should not be banned. That discussion has not taken place about you or this thread as yet. But it will. The reports are starting to come in, so it is just a matter of time. Of course, when this happens, the individual will blame everyone else instead of looking at how they are responding and behaving. Thus, it becomes a conspiracy, of them vs us, of how the moderators try and get a person banned. Tali89, if I wanted you banned, I'd simply ban you if I saw that you had breached this site's rules to the point that an instant ban was necessary or if you had acquired enough infractions that would see you banned.
It is interesting that you have failed to address the very good points from Yazata and Sarkus, for example, not just about how you are conducting yourself in this thread, but because of the claims you have made in this thread. Then again, your object in this thread is not to discuss the topic of proving the existence of God, is it? It is to try to go on an ego trip by trying to insult the staff and this is evidenced by the very terms you use and how you respond.
My words sound angry on the screen?
Not only do you seem upset, but also over emotional and incapable of understanding what those emotions are.
Hint: That's an ironic echo. Look it up. While you're at it, look back at James' post where he claimed both myself and Jan sounded 'angry', despite both of us simply attempting to hold a dialogue in good faith.
But you do seem angry and upset. Hence your constant use of words like "spanked", "kicking ass to curb", etc. Why do people use words like that in an emotional response if they are not upset or angry?
I know, I know, it's common for you to hold your opponents to higher standards than your allies, but can you demonstrate some integrity just this once. Please?
See, you don't get to get away with that, especially when you follow it with:
Anyway, that's another atheist soundly trounced. Currently the score is Theists: 2 vs Atheists: 0.
Next!
I don't think you even know what integrity means.
