Question for believers

justone said:
So far you have done everything to avoid answering my post:
http://www.debatepolitics.com/religion-philosophy/43900-question-believers-7.html#post1057939641


You keep on putting up all little technicalities of red herrings, strawmen and ad homs. Now you are completely changing the subject.
You actions are an undeniable confirmation of the points I made in post, - that CC and you and some other atheists attacking SS are very immoral and unreasonable and should not lecture SS who exhibits some reason and morality.

As to you question, it is another attempt to get me in some way on something not related to my post. As a rule such attempts caused not by desire to raise an argument to the points stated but desire to get one who states the post are designated to failure. Even if you could it is has no relevance. But you can’t – as it has been proven your lack of minimal moral and reason, it has been proven you can’t.

You've never actually posted anything coherent enough to warrant a reply from me.

In fact, I've never seen you make anything that remotely resembled an intelligent thought.

He/she doesn't speak English well, I don't think you should attack his/her intelligence based on miscommunication.
 
I wonder, is this tread going to be closed before I have a chance to reply to primitive insults... or.... ?
 
There are those in this world of high intelligence not ignorance, that maintained a belief in god. The founders of this country, Socrates/Plato supported the idea of monotheism and morality. I don't think these people were ignorant, certainly smarter than me or you.

...and on your last line, speak for yourself.

No, I think he was pretty spot on that most of the great thinkers who still believed in God were still smarter than him or you. Especially you.

I didn't speak with malcontent by saying that Plato was smarter than you. I just thought that would be "self-evident."

How odd that you would jump in and make a personal attack against me without provocation...

How odd that you would see it as a personal attack when it was simply a defense of the intellects of great thinkers?
 
That was just a pun. Plato writing on self-evident truths. I am not here to argue about that, I was simply making a point that ignorance and religion are not synonymous, always.

You are going to find that with the rabid atheist contingent around here, they will do everything in their paltry intellectual power to make sure that they tie ignorance and religion together.

I'll let you in on a little secret...it's how they like to inflate their own intellects to fantasy proportions. If they can point their fingers at someone and say "look how stupid they are", then they can smugly pat themselves on the back and pretend they are smarter than they really are.

It's really all about insecurity, the whole militant atheism thing.
 
Are you implying that you match or exceed Plato in intellectuality? That's strange but ok. Anyways, let's debate and stop this strange ego exercise.
 
We don't know if socrates existed. But ok. It was just strange that he is arguing the fact that he may or may not be more intelligent. This is a silly debate.

more widely do you think its better for a person in general to have a belief in some other religion or not.

There is only one God, and one true religion. No one chooses a religion like they go grocery shopping. The word of God calls a person out from among the world through a faith in accepting that word as the truth that it self professes to be. (Romans 10:17). That faith is not built upon blind faith with no empirical evidences offered at all that sustains God word as truth. These same scriptures that inspire faith admonish everyone to put these scriptures to the test, "Test all things, hold fast that which is good." -- Thess. 1 Thes. 5:21.

And that Holy Book has been placed to the test from its conception....and remains unbroken as the truth that it represents. Despite the best efforts of many educated humanistic scholars there has never been one truth presented in the original text that has been proven to be anything other than TRUTH.

Well that is certainly untrue, most xians are inculcated by their parents.

No scripture can prove god exists. What imperical evidences are you speaking of?

So sayeth the salesman... believe me friends, this elixir will cure your headache. However, there have been mounds of works detailing the bibles incorrectness.

Now that is an outright lie!
 
Personally, I live as a Christian (mostly), so I would probably bring my child up as a Christian. However, I would never deny my child the right to make his/her own decisions. I would help find information about any belief (or lack thereof) that my child would be looking for. And, if at the end of the day my child wants to believe in anything different, I would say, "Ok, but under one condition: do your research and be the best *insert belief* that you can be."
