Duke, the world is composed largely of things you've never
heard of.

This is true to a much greater degree than it is of the
rest of us, as evidenced by how often you say "I never heard of...",
as if such ignorance were something to boast about.

Your claim, you back it up.

But in this case you cannot.  I know that because I spent
an hour trying to find it, back when this first came up.

And you, obviously, also cannot, otherwise you'd be rubbing
the link in my face.

Liar.

That's your problem, not mine.  Such claims as the Salvation Army and Red CRoss
as atheist organizations were made right here on this ng.  Go find them
yourself.

You are disgusting.  you have no way of knowing what percentage of contributions came
from those who believe in gods and those who do not.

Atheism is not an organization, it is simply a rejection of silly gods

The Catholic Church, the Protestant Churches, Jews, all came forward as
identified groups to help.

There was no identified atheist group that helped the victims of katrina.  

>Atheism is not an organization, it is simply a rejection of silly gods

And the love of God for his creation.  Atheists don't like that.

Christian:  win/no win.  Atheist:  lose/no win.  No win comes into play if there
is no almighty God.

Good luck on your final decision.  Remember, though, that decision time ends at
the moment you die.  Good luck.

Let me alter this Wager (because Duke believes it to be "solid") to
expose the idiocy that is the Wager:

-----
Atheist:  win/no win.  Christian:  lose/no win.  No win comes into play
if there is a god who prefers lack of belief over belief in a false god.

Good luck on your final decision.  Remember, though, that decision time
ends at the moment you die.  Good luck.

There.  Solid, right?

Err, missed a portion of the Wager to alter.  Let me try that again:

-----
Atheist:  win/no win.  Christian:  lose/no win.  Win comes into play if
there is a god who prefers lack of belief over belief in a false god.

Good luck on your final decision.  Remember, though, that decision time

I suppose we can see your pattern of saying something stupid and, when
pressed  to explain yourself , you  just start insulting people.  It seems
to me that you are a poor example of the sort of people who believe in
deities.  Not that your deities are any more defective than others, but you
seem to have a hard time defending them in a civil way.

My "data base" is empty.  I am not trying to show something exists, I don't
need a "data base" for that.   You are claiming the existance of something
and YOUR "data base" is empty so we are unimpressed with your claims.  When
pressed for "data," you can only blert out the "Big Bang" and "bananas" but
you seem to be incapable of explaining why these two things are revelent to
the existance of deieties beyond appealing to ignorance.

If you had a data base, you could put 2 and 2 together and come up with 4.  But
you can't even start your engine.

I don't NEED data.  I am NOT claiming anything EXISTS.  You NEED data
because you ARE claiming something EXISTS.  This is very basic stuff and you
seem to want to totally ignore it.

So show us your "data base" - bananas?

Waste of time, but fun. Earl did offer some "evidence" a while back and even
if it had been evidence he got most of it wrong.

But his data base comments again support my TOD "His repetition of some
current pet phrase is seen in children and drunks. I suspect it might be in
other mental problems. "

The big thing lacking is how the people in Alt.recovery.catholic got rid of
him.
I think ignoring him would be the best way.

I love this.  An empty data base talking to a brake mechanic that stated a
global flood of the world was impossible due to the partial pressure of air.

Here's a part of one of his "responses" from some time ago. Note that even
after saying this he still argues for real Adam and Eve as well as a real
flood.

"First, I'm not an expert on the bible.

Second, the bible especially the OT, is the beginning of the big picture,
God
introducing himself to us, etc.  Before written communication methods came
about, communication consisted of stories passed from generation to
generation
revealing other things, like God and his relationship to us.  Nobody knows
if,
or which, of the OT stories is literally true, in part or in whole.

All those OT stories were passed on in stories of death, killing, personal
destruction, war, etc. for evil done and for those standing against God.
This
is the nature of the old covenant (agreement) between God and man, one based
on
words written on stone tablets and fulfilled thru the blood of animal
sacrifice.

Do I believe the A&E story literal - no, not as a physical occurance, but an
explanation of man's inherent natural flaw to put one's self before others
and
before God.  And the results thereof.

Do I believe the flood story literal - no.  A story from long ago about how
God
punishes evil and those that stand against him.  Equally brought out in the
golden calf story and Moses.
<snip> "

There are others that are fun to read.

You never did get it, mikey.  Genesis chapters 1-11, which contain both the A&E
and flood stories, are not considered literal truth (necessarily), but instead
Israel's faith statement re God's creation of the universe and all in it, and to
include mankind.

But the brake fluid you sip fuzzes your brain, and you never did get it.

>"First, I'm not an expert on the bible.

Yep, that's for sure.  But I can't find anything in listerman's data base.  It's
empty.

My "data base" is just as big as yours, but I am not asserting anything so I
don't need a "data base," do I?  You asert that there are deities.  This is
not the default position.  You need to back up what you assert.  Me, I just
don't see the "data base" your assertion is made from.  I don't believe in
things that don't have a "Data Base;"  you seem to do that.

Well the obvious difference is that the Great Green Arkleseizure was
revealed by the late great Douglas N. Adams.  Someone who existed within
living memory; a real person whom you can find many people who knew
personally, not some mythical Bronze Age character. . . .  There are even
pictures and videos.  I will bet he even autographed his books if asked.

A few months ago the local paper had photos of a prayer vigil for somebody
outside a local hospital.
Apparently there werer either no True Christians there or they just
pretended to like the person they were praying for. The person died as was
expected.

In his mind, his position is the default position.  If you don't buy his
position, it is up to you to show your reasons why.  He does not have to
defend his position.  He has not shown himself to be capable of
understanding that it is the duty of someone who claims the existence of
something to show evidence for that existence.  He thinks that someone who
doubts the existence of something  needs to offer evidence supporting the
non-existence of something.  This is a difficult thing to do.

But danny boy, that's exactly your problem.  You have no data base to with which
to discuss anything, and your own superstitions keep you from an open mind to
even open a discussion.  Unless you can begin to show some data base, there's no
point in a dialogue, and jimmy doesn't appear to have any more on the ball than
you do.

The rest of the snipped post . . .

He does not have to
defend his position.  He has not shown himself to be capable of
understanding that it is the duty of someone who claims the existence of
something to show evidence for that existence.  He thinks that someone who
doubts the existence of something  needs to offer evidence supporting the

As usual you have missed the whole point.  I don't believe in your
superstitious deities - you do.  It is not incumbent upon me to provide a
"data base" for that disbelief beyond my expression that there is not
evidence to support such beliefs.  You have fallen for the superstition and
still believe it stating that deities do exist.  It is therefore incumbent
that you provide a "data base" to support your beliefs or you risk not being
taken seriously. . . .

Shoot, what's shameful is that you clowns don't see the answer when presented to
you.

From the creation of the universe to a profession of unabated belief by up to
2.2 billion people alive today re the risen Lord is all the information you

become evasive and try real hard to turn the argument around so you can
avoid confronting your superstitions.  I don't blame you, you have been

I don't believe the deity myths are true because there is a lack of evidence
to support them.  If you believe in them, it is incumbent upon you to
provide evidence to support your belief.  It is not is not my responsibility
to provide evidence against their existance.  You can't prove a negative.

Remember, mikey, you are the one that made the following two statements:

1.  There could never have been a biblical flood because of the partial pressure
of air.  That was a number of years ago that you stated such, and you still
haven't been able to explain it.

2.  The heart is NOT controlled by tiny electrical currents enabled by the
salinity of the body fluids.  Now you're the one that professes to be an
ambulance emt, and I'm the one that had to send you the technical information
backing up my words.    You silence remains deafening on this one.

>Earl, can you explain the trinity in a manner that will allow any reasonable
>person to understand it?

As well as any person is able to understand the Holy Trinity - one God in 3
persons - 1=1+1+1.  The Father is not the Son or Holy Spirit, the Son is not the
Holy Spirit or the Father, and the Holy Spirit is not the Father or the Son.

That's it in a nutshell, mikey.

he is a little more careful this time but still talks about understanding
and implies that it can be done through reason.

Of course I'd do it again - watch:  1+1+1=1.  Those of you that aren't

fourth century political skulldugery

the church decided its way to political power
was to always have the answer
and for its answer is to always be correct

anyone who disagreed was killed

hence arius denounced as a heretic
and thousands murdered in the eastern empire
just because doofus made an arbitrary decision
and the church is to chickenshit to admit it might be wrong

My adult ed class composed a creed one night.  We put a lot of things on
paper and had to narrow it down by voting.   I don't remember if the
doctrine of trinity made the cut (LOL) but it was a great exercise.

Now that I have slogged through early church history I know that there
were armies involved in previous ones.  

If the doctrine of the Trinity were so easy and something that every
Christian understood, there would be no need for catechism/confirmation
teaching on this, and no need for churches with multiple clergy to assign
the Trinity Sunday sermon to the low person on the totem pole.  Nor would
there be nearly the amount of flat out heresy preached on Trinity Sunday.  
(I have to say that I was much relieved when last year's preacher
announced that he was not preaching on the Trinity, but exploring the
Gospel of the day.)

We could all just sing St. Patrick's Breastplate ("the three in one, and
one in three") and be much better off in my opinion.

But, yes, Duke is Doing It Wrong. He comes off like Fr. Whiskey or Sr.
Mary Cranky getting a bit testy with the cut-ups of the teens in the
confirmation class and opting for the authoritatian smackdown over
teaching.

Sorry Charlotte, but you are wrong.

The reason is not evident to you - I've been arguing these points on these very
news groups for 10 years now.  There are the mentally challenged youth that are
incapable of discussing anything.  

The attillas, fischers, klungs, carnovas, syds, seebrees, etc are all too
physically and/or mentally/psychologically immature to get past one simple
thought, be it "lying", or "butt f_ucking priests", or "prove/prove/prove God
exists", etc that after a while one can only throw up his hands and see if you
can't get them to move along.

I no longer waste my time with much of a formal response when all I get back is
"prove a God exists" over and over and over with no more thought than that.

Then allow me to say it again.  All evidence to be found, again, ALL of it,
demands the existence of God almighty.  There is no evidence anywhere, in any
tree, on any mountain, in any sea,under any rock, that one can find evidence
that God doesn't exist.

Indeed. I'm used to the (arguably logically sound) argument that "absence of
evidence does not constitute evidence of absence" but this whole "lack of
evidence of absence constitutes evidence of lack of absence" argument
frankly takes my breath away. And that's even just saying the phrase.

I feel great sorrow for you. Well "before" the FSM, there was the IPU.
Both are simply memories implanted in your mind by Maeve The Cat, who
created the entire universe Last Thursday. When the world ends tomorrow you
will find out the truth of this.

(Church of Last Thursday and the IPU both developed from "serious" concepts,
I'm not sure about the birth of the FSM.)

Sorry, I'm not a superstitious cretin who believes a bronze-age mythology.

The point - which you won't understand - is that there is precisely the same
lack of absence of evidence for IPU/FSM as for your Judeo-Christian
imaginary friend. Let me know if you don't understand this Duke, and I'll
take the time to spell it out in smaller words.

I can answer this for him:

The evidence is as follows:

Trees, squirrels, mountains, streams, oceans...essentially everything on
Earth is a creation of God, so everything on Earth is evidence of God.

I do not know, however, what led him to believe that and he's being very
squirrelly about that subject.  He has not answered how he knows that
that is evidence for God and it CANNOT be anything else.

He is not required to do any such thing. You, on the other hand, are
required to show that you understand the difference between belief and
knowledge, and the relationship between truth and provability.

The fact that you assert he has not shown what you require him to show is
sufficient proof to support the assertion that you neither know the
difference between belief and knowledge nor understand the relationship
between truth and provability, therefore you lack the necessary mental
equipment to deal with the philosophical outcomes of his assertions.

In short, the burden is on you to show that you have the brains and
foresight to deal with the philosophical outcomes, however the evidence in
your very own statements clearly says that you do not.

You should give up while you're behind.

No, see, duke has said that he KNOWS that God exists.  It's not just

You miss the point entirely, which is not an unexpected occurence from an
alt.atheism atheist.

He has asserted knowledge therefore there are logical, fully supportable
outcomes for him but only insurmountable limitations, ridicule and pillory
for you. If you were aware of the implications of his assertions then you
would have stopped there and left it at that; you would have recognised that
he wins and you lose. As it is, you did no such thing, and still you persist
in trying to defend the indefensible, even after getting a warning about
where you were treading, which is your stupid and illogical notion that he
needs to somehow show how it is that he knows what is, to you, the utterly
unknowable.

He wins, you lose. Logic says so. Do you need me to prove it to you?

Incorrect.  Duke has shown, time and time and time and TIME again that
he is unwilling to support any of his assertions.

What implications?

...win?
...lose?

Huh?  This isn't a contest.  This is a conversation.  And it's
dreadfully one-sided.

Do you know the history duke has with alt.atheism?  It is a long and

Actually, no.  If duke can fully support his position, I will leave him
alone.  As of now, all he has it bravado.

Err, yes.  Why don't you go ahead and try?  First, you will need to
research duke's history with alt.atheism, though.

For the benefit of the terminally dense, that would be you, he claims
knowledge therefore there is no logical basis for you to demand he supports
his knowledge because you cannot prove his knowledge to be false, you
whacking great flying numpty.

That one simple idea completely escapes you. All that you are logically left
with is the inference that he believes some thing. And all the while he
asserts it as knowledge, you cannot infer anything else.

>> If you were aware of the implications of his assertions
>
> What implications?

Un-f.cking-believable. Are you trying to tell me that you are so smart and
so clever that you got yourself into a discussion with him to prove him
wrong or incorrect, all the while you being totally witless to the truth
that you cannot prove him wrong?

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines]

In one word or less, state why duke's history with alt.atheism automatically
invalidates the logic that underpins his claim to knowledge.

Yes. I was warning you. You seemed to have missed it. I was warning you that

He does not need to support his assertion, you whaking great sucking-hole in
the fabric of space-time. He has asserted knowledge therefore you cannot
prove him wrong. Do you understand?

>> He wins, you lose. Logic says so. Do you need me to prove it to you?

Try is the operative word. Given your expansive grasp of illogic I dare say
it will be easier to push diarrhoea uphill with a sharp stick.

Will I now? I will deal with the challenges I set for myself in any manner I
see fit, your illogical and idiotic bleats nothwithstanding.

Now, this is how I will deal with the challenge... I will paraphrase and
assert his claim as my own and you can argue with me instead of with him.

Here is the claim: I know that God exists, with 100% certainty, as a fact
unquestionably established.

I will take the theist position. That leaves you with the atheist postion.

You forfeit on your very first logical error, which means I will demand that
you apologise to him by way of you telling him that you mistakenly labelled
him a fuckwit because it was actually you who was the real fuckwit all
along.

I strongly recommend that you skulk off and don't take the challenge up. I
sincerely doubt your capacity to attempt to knock the claim down without
falling into a logical fallacy of hypostatisation in your very first post.

Do you see what I mean? You are not equiped with what it takes to win this
kind of argument.

There is no requirement on you to prove it true, none whatsoever. The only
requirement is that you have the necessary turn of mind to establish a sound
logical footing from which to argue your case. Since I suspect you do not
have the brains to do it, it follows that I am correct to assume you cannot
proceed to establishing a sound base to start from.

I also insult atheists six ways to Sunday, and I make no bones about
alt.atheism atheists deserving it either.

Where the knowledge came from is a completely different issue, with a
completely different logical framework, and it cannot be dealt with until
you acknowledge that the truth of his claim is unknowable to you.

He does not need to support his position. His position is logical and wholly
supportable by way of logical argument. Your position is not so tenable.

If an atheist thinks duke is the fool for claiming knowledge of God then the
atheist is sorely mistaken. It is the atheist who is the fool for not
understanding the implications of duke's assertion to knowledge.

You already, twice in fact, implored me to research his history, so don't
bullshit me because it won't wash. His history is completely irrelevant to
his claim of knowledge. There is only one thing to be dealt with and that is
his claim to knowledge. Everything else is mere distraction.

I know all I need to know about the nature of truth and provability to show
that his claim to knowledge is logically supportable and wholly arguable as
logically valid. I also know enough about alt.atheism atheists that unless I
take up the challenge on his behalf then he will be hounded into submission,
or endlessly pilloried and ridiculed, never being left alone, and always
facing illogical demands for proof of his claim.

Let's call it my charitable act for this week.

It should be clear then that duke's theology is not a consideration here,
therefore we can define God in this way:

God = Omnimpotent Metaphysical X

Yes? No? Not sure?

I don't need any facts. No facts are required to support the paraphrased
claim I put forward: I know that God exists, with 100% certainty, as a fact
unquestionably established. Duke does not need facts either, yet I bet you
are ready to demand facts.

What is wrong with the idea that "Trees, squirrels, mountains, streams,

Really, it's a serious question. What is wrong with it, other than nothing
at all?

Why might it be logically invalid for him, or any theist, to know all those
things are evidence of God?

Well, I'll take that at face value. Let us begin.

For the purposes of this discussion, the discussion is the argument and the
argument is the proof and the proof is the explanation; if you offer an
explanation of something that knocks out something I've said then your
explanation is the proof that I am wrong. Capiche?

From above:

> I am merely trying to get him to support his position so that I can grow.

Your job is to get me to support the paraphrased claim, "I know that God
exists, with 100% certainty, as a fact unquestionably established."

My job is to prove to you that your job is futile and illogical.

> Second, I would like to know how you know that God exists with 100%
> certainty as a fact unquestionably established.

I just know. What else needs be said?

Or do you grant that the truth of my claim is unknowable to you?

put me in the "subject of ridicule" category for arguing against alt.atheism
atheists. They, my esteemed colleagues, have however voted in droves for
alt.atheism and certain indvidual atheists to be recognised as official

Atheism is not a logical position to proceed from anything. In the absence
of knowledge with 100% certainty, as a fact unquestionably established,
agnosticism is the only logical point to start from.

Well, yes, you can. But if you assert that unicorns exist then it follows
that you need immediate medical intervention in the head department. It is
within the bounds of normal for people to believe in a God. It is not normal
for people to believe in unicorns.

Yet, at the end of this post, you grant that it is unknowable to you.
Logical error alert.

If it is unknowable to you, as you granted, then how can you know it?

No. I am saying that his claim to knowledge is logically supportable and
wholly arguable as logically valid.

It follows then that any counter-argument that his claim to knowledge is
illogical, unsupportable and invalid is itself illogical, unsupportable and
invalid.

So, do you believe that his claim to knowledge is logically supportable and
wholly arguable as logically valid?

It doesn't matter if we refer to his claim to knowledge or if we refer to

Well, no. You stated outright what your objective is, and I already knew

"He has made claims about the existence of something and we want him to
prove that existence."

I have paraphrased that claim and made it my own for this discussion. Why
aren't you asking me to prove it?

Duke arrived at that conclusion through knowledge that has 100% certainty
and is a fact that is unquestionably established. Knowledge, I will add,
that you have already conceded is not knowable to you.

So, if duke's knowledge is not knowable to you, where is the logic in your
now clearly stated objective, "He has made claims about the existence of
something and we want him to prove that existence"? Apart from your
objective being the embodiment of the logical fallacy of hypostatisation, of
course.

He doesn't need reasoning. He says has knowledge.

If you have knowledge that you will die if you leap off a 600' cliff with no

Certainly not me.  And I don't really care if other atheists are

not a cohesive group.  The ONLY thing we share in common is our mutual
lack of belief in deities.

He has claimed knowledge of things in the past that have proven to be false.

Reasoning begets knowledge.  If I have a reason, I'll seek the path to
education.

Actually, the reasoning precedes the knowledge.  If you had the
knowledge before the reasoning, you'd have to ask why you would die.

That's not the reason that atheists are trolling theist newsgroups.  The

The claim is irrelevant.  I can claim unicorns exist.  I can claim
leprechauns exist.  I can claim deities exist.  I can claim my cat sings

The claims are really irrelevant.  The substance of the claims is what

referring to his belief or yours?

"the lack of belief in deities" is only one definition of atheism.

> What fallacies does it commit?

That there are multiple definitions should be sufficient to convince you
that the foundations of atheism are, at the very least, inconsistent. Any
argument you propose that is based on your very own atheism is at serious
risk of being invalidated by some other person's definition of their own
atheism.

So, the logical fallacy is, at best, audiatur et altera pars, "My definition
of atheism is the correct definition". Perhaps, dicto simpliciter. In my
experience, most athiests invariably always fall into argumentum ad
ignorantiam, "you can't prove X exists therefore X does not exist." I'm sure
if I dug deep enough I could uncover an argumentum ad ignorantiam in your
statements somewhere.

[snip]

> Atheists are not a cohesive group.

See previous comment. Atheism is inconsistent, therefore it is logically
faulty to proceed to an argument from a position of atheism. That's another
way of saying "your argument is neither sound nor logical if it is based on
atheism", which I already asserted.

Allow me to use your favourite word here:

Irrelevant.

The difference is though that, I will state why it is irrelevant, rather
than just asserting irrelevance as I've seen you do.

There is only one claim in focus here, my paraphrased claim. You intend to
argue against all of duke's assertions when you should be focussing on the
paraphrased claim that I put forward. Please stay focussed. And that is not
the first time you've tried to build a straw man to divert attention in such
a manner.

Of course, you can't see how illogical that is, can you?

If it is unknowable to you then it is unknowable, period. No amount of
investigation and instruction will reveal it to you. For crying out loud,
can't you even foresee the most minor of all the silly consequences of what
you are saying?

In one breath you admit it is unknowable then in the other you imply that
you can know. That is hardly consistent with clear thinking. I extended to
you the assumption that you could think things through. Perhaps I should not
have been so hasty.

<smacks head, full force into brick wall>

Yet you granted that the truth of his knowledge is unknowbale to you.

Do you see yet another of your persistent failures to think through what you
are saying? Or do you need me to spell it out for you yet again?

You cannot learn from his knowledge because both his knowledge and the truth
of that knowledge are unknowable to you. Do you understand?

>> See? Everything is logical if you just think.

> Not everything.  No.

Given the difficulty you seem to have in staying focussed, and considering
your propensity to make utterly contradictory, inconsistent and incoherent
assertions that have wholly illogical outcomes, I am hardly surprised you
feel that way.

>>>>>>>> which is your stupid and illogical notion that he needs to somehow

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines]

Step 1: His knowledge and the truth of his knowledge are unknowable to
       you.

Step 2: To you, his knowledge and the truth of his knowledge are, at
       best, your very own abstract concepts, despite his knowledge
       and the truth of his knowledge being actual things to him.

Step 3: Regarding your abstract idea of his actual thing as somehow
       empirically verifiable is the logical fallacy of
       hypostatisation, also known as the logical fallacy of
       reification.

If his knowledge and its truth is unknowable to you then his knowledge and
its truth are also unprovable. Result: logical fallacy of hypostatisation,
i.e. you demand empircial evidence of the non-empirical.

[snip]

>>> The claim itself is really irrelevant.  The subject is what is at issue.

> The existence of this deity he says he believes in and knows exist.

Well, yes, and again, join the dots:

1. He says the existence of this deity is real and he says that he
  knows it exists.

2. This knowledge and the truth of this knowledge is unkowbale to
  you, but at 1 he asserts reality.

3. From 1 and 2, this deity cannot be real to you, it can be, at
  best, an abstract concept to you.

4. You insist on regarding your very own abstract idea of his actual
  thing as empirically verifiable.

5. From 4, there is a clear logical fallacy of hypostatisation.

The conclusion so far can only be that duke has you tied up in your own
illogical knots from which you cannot extricate yourself. Thus my original
assertion that what he says is logically valid and supportable still stands.
It follows then that it is the case that what you say is not logically valid
and is unsupportable.

Why is it so? Because the dot at 5 says it is so.

Proceeding to arguments about deities from a position of atheism always
results in the very same logical inconsistencies, I have never seen it any
other way, and logically, it can't be any other way. That is precisely why I
said that taking the athesitic position is illogical, and so far, everything
you have written has resulted in immediate logical incoherency, vis a vis
you still believe that you can know the unknowable if someone explains the
unknowable to you. And still, you do not see the logical absurdity you have
created.

For the umpteenth time: How can something that is unknowable to you ever be
known to you?

If some thing is unknowable to you, it is unknowable to you. Period. End of
story. No amount of evidence, proof or discussion will ever make it knowable
to you. That must be the case because if that thing suddenly became knowable
to you then that thing could not have been unknowable in the first place.

What is so difficult about that idea that you cannot grasp it?

See all the repetitive explantions above, which you have forced me to

something is unknowable then unknowable it is.

Holy snapping-ducks on a pogo-stick. The claim is fully knowable to you.

There. That is the claim, fully revealed to you. Now, tell me again that the

Logical fallacy of denial of the antecedent -> A implies B, A is false,
therefore B is false -> Evidence implies existence, evidence is false,
therefore existence is false.

The falsity of A does not allow you to logically deduce anything at all
about B, you brain-dead, unthinking, pin-headed atheistic fuckbubble. You
may as well have posted "Not breathing implies death therefore if I hold my
breath I must be dead".

Your post is yet more undeniable empirical evidence that atheism makes you

Actually, no.

In this context, A does NOT imply B.  A = B.  A is false, therefore B
HAS TO BE false.  Logical.

Correction, fuckwad. You dismissed everything out of hand, and you
incorrectly, though very conveniently, concluded that you were being told
porkies. Besides, there are no second prizes. The going in position was that
you lacked the brains to deal with the matters before you. You made excuses
and ran away, thereby proving that you do indeed lack the brains to deal
with the matters before you.

duke, an official netKo0k, ran rings around you, spinning you into a tizzy

Oh, for f.ck snakes, you're deadly serious, aren't you?

You are even more stupid than I gave you discredit for.

"Evidence does NOT imply existence" is analogous to saying something like,
"The evidence proving that I broke my nose on the brick wall does not imply
that the brick wall exists."

"Evidence = Existence" is analogous to saying something like, "Bricks are
bananas."

And "Evidence is false, therefore Existence HAS TO BE false" is analogous to
saying something like, "There is no evidence available to me that I exist
when I am asleep therefore I do not exist when I am asleep."

Actually, no.   That's not what I said or am saying.

Claim: Omnipresence is a property of God.
Definition: Omnipresence is defined as being everywhere at the same time.
Experiment:  Look in one place.
Observation: God is not present in that location.
Conclusion: Omnipresence is not a property of God.

Interesting, because all you can do is attack red herrings and I'm the git?

The claim is false because property is false.

"Evidence is false (God is everywhere), therefore existence of that
property HAS TO BE false."

Given your verifiable persistence at falling witlessly into the logical
fallacy of attempting to seek evidence of the non-empirical in the
empirical, it is clear that one of us doesn't get it, but it isn't me.

If it is non-empirical, then it does not exist.

Unless, of course, you can show that the non-empirical can exist.  Until
that time, you are guilty of hypostatisation.

For clarification (before you decide to go into another paragraph of
worthless insults against my character, committing the fallacy of ad
hominem), the claim that I am saying "Bricks are bananas" is analogous
to "evidence = existence" is a false one.

You're the one that came up with "Bricks are bananas", not I.

Therefore, by your very own illogic, neither do your thoughts, your ideas,
your feelings, or even that thing called your conscious self, that which
experiences your thoughts, your ideas and your feelings.

The case against you is closed. Only an unthinking, illogical and completely

self did not exist.

Danielsan does not realize that you are right and he is wrong.

You are always right and he is wrong. You are right and all of us are always
wrong.

Of course now you have the problem of god being evil to tend to.

Ever watch a little kid die because his drunken dad wanted to take him on a
fun ride on a motorcycle?
Dad broke the telephone pole he ran into but he lived. His son was in front
of him on the bike so acted as an early version of an air bag.

Ever picked up the charred remains of two people who were trapped under a
car and still very much alive as the fire took them?

Booleshit. I have no such burden. You however have a number of very big
problems to resolve, at least 3, perhaps 4:

1. Define evil.

2. DanielSan and I agreed on the definition of God. Show how that agreed
definition necessarily entails evil:

Ever thought about necking yourself?

3. Show how common, everyday life and death events, such as transport
accidents, fit into your definition of evil (from 1).

4. Show that your answer at 3 is not slanted by your own cock-eyed,
lopsided, twisted urge to escape everyday life and find a Utopia.

Irrelevant unless you argue that it does not exist. If god is as you "prove"
and evil exists then god contains evil.

If you don't believe evil exists, you are a bit different from everybody
else.

In the same manner that you define god.
Such acts are evil.

Really? Then by your own illogic, I can assert that a qwertyartblurbleflit
exists and you must argue that it doesn't. Anything you say about a
qwertyartblurbleflit is irrelevant unless you argue it does not exist.

Pick a response:

1. Unshown assertion. Claim fails.

2. LMAO - what sort of a fuckwad are you to presume any thinking

It comes as no surprise that you, smiffy, an alt.atheism atheist, would
confuse a sequitur with a non sequitur.

The answer, which you snipped, did indeed follow from the question. If you
believe otherwise then show how the answer does not follow from the

The question wasn't that complex. A simple 'yes' or

The only thing assumed was that you had the brains to realise that the

explaining it to you. You may mark the assumption that you had the brains as

So yes, you assumed your answer made sense.
Even though the question was straightforward and
required only a yes or no answer.

Absolutely. "... how it is that he knows what is, to you, the utterly
unknowable. "

Your first stop should be the RCC which says that some of the things he
claims to know are in fact *unknowable*. In some cases they say claiming you
have the knowledge is an automatic excommunication.

So first make a fool of teh RCC and then get back to us.

Then you can start on the first sentence and show how thisa alleged
knowledge provides logical fully supportable outcomes.
I've put one or two people in mental health facailities that  asserted
knowledge that they were controlled by the computer (note this is singular
because they only had one at the time.) at the local university.

You scored one bitchslap for moving the goalposts from an assertion of
knowledge of one thing to unnamed other "things he claims to know".

You scored a second bitchslap for not knowing that his assertion of knowing
is unknowable only insofar as the things he claims to know are unknowable
only to those who do not know.

Unsupported assertion. Claim fails.

Why? Are the JW's collectively sick of being the default fool along with the
alt.atheism atheists? Or just you?

I don't need to show anything from your ridiculous attempts at altering the
scope from knowledge to the whole of the suddenly inserted RCC, you f.cking 
fool. You however have now set yourself the silly task of showing that his
claim to knowledge is not knowledge at all, but is, as you just asserted,
merely "alleged knowledge".

> I've<BITCHSLAP>

What about you, you brain-dead fuckhead?

Say, aren't you the illogical JW twat who claimed that "ELOHIM" stumbled
upon an a ready-created, unformed and void, water-covered earth, thereby
implying that said "ELOHIM" was not the creator and that there was an even
greater creator, which you do not worship?

Focusing on the theology of the claim is the act of the unthinking nutfuck.

What needs to be focussed on are the logical implications of the claim, but
you can't do that because you are the unthinking nutfuck in question.

I don't know about the Quran but creation from nothing is a later concept
and
"The correct translation by Hebrew scholars of the JPS, from the traditional
Hebrew text, which makes much more sense, is:
"When God [ELOHIM] began to create heaven and earth -- the earth being
unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind
from God [ELOHIM] sweeping over the water -- God [ELOHIM] said, 'Let there
be light'; and there was light."

 The story tells us that the ELOHIM found an "unformed and void",
water-covered earth, out of which was formed the whole universe, referred to
as "heaven and earth". How could this be? Only by assuming, as the story
does, that the Sun, Moon and all the stars are tiny lights affixed to the
solid sky dome which is also holding back the "waters above".
 The story reflects the primitive cosmography known and held by the ancient
authors."

You're arguing with someone who lives to argue. KM doesn't care about
right or wrong, true or false. He loves to stir people up. Kinda like a
troll, but with more staying power and more success.

There does not have to be evidence to the contrary.  You are the one making
the claim, I am merely saying that the evidence you provided to support your
claim is insufficent.  Again you are asking that I prove a negative and you
know full well that is impossible.   OTOH proving a positive should be easy
if it is valid.  That is your job.

Now, see? You simply do not think through the utterly illogical consequences
of your absurd notions.

If he asserts knowledge, which he does, then, necessarily, he holds the
truth of his assertion, which is unknowable to you. You, on the other hand,
necessarily hold only a belief.

There are two sides to the equation. His truth, your belief. He requires no
belief because he asserts knowledge. The only belief involved is your
belief.

So, now that you can see the where the illogic is in your asseretion, where
is the illogic in his assertion? Hmmmm?

Exactly the same logic that Suzanne supports. God talks to her because she
says  god talks to her and since she says god talks to her it has the truth
of her assertion.

The woman sho sits in the window and sees murders and rapes is cars every
night has the truth of her assertion. That no rapes are reported or bodies
found are not relevant.

Mike, just don't bother.  All KM wants to do is discuss the assertion
itself, not the content of the subject.  In the analogy above, we talk
to duke about the fact that no rapes or murders are reported, but KM
wants to talk about the woman's claim itself.

It's a strawman, and a poor one, and he has admitted that he lies
because he can.

Don't bother with KM.  If he shows that he actually wants to talk on the
subject of the claim and not just the claim itself, I'll talk to him.
But not before then.  I suggest you do the same.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH! Logical fallacy of accident.

I was right, you have no authority to assert logic. Hell, you don't even
know what the f.ck logic is.

The rule you applied to paragraph 1, which is a non-empirical assertion,
does not apply to paragraph 2, which is an empirical assertion.

Atheism makes you f.cking stupid.

Exactly.  I don't have to offer anything.  I am not making the positive
assurtion that deities exist, you are.  If deities exist, you should be able
to point to evidence of their existance that cannot be otherwise explained.

I was reading responses to Cameron's "proof" the other day.  Here's what
one devout Christian said in response to it:

"As someone who isn't an atheist and at the same time has no problem
with the theory of evolution, I really wish that people like Kirk
Cameron would just shut the f.ck up and stop painting all people who
belive in a God as an idiot." (pasted as posted; no editing given)

If everything requires a creator, so do deities.  There is no end to this

LMAO - you f.cking stupid pillock. You've done it again.

You know, incredulity is the only word to describe what your posts inspire.
You persistently, and I mean persistently, never without fail, make
assertions that when taken to the next logical step result in total,
fuckwitted, illogical absurdity.

How the f.ck you can go through your entire life asserting the bullshit you
do without ever once considering even the simplest of consequences is beyond
all reasonable comprehension. You must be one seriously f.cked in the head
idiot. At birth, were you dropped head-first onto concrete from a great
height or something?

Are the testimonies of witnesses a form of evidence?

Yes or no?

Kadaitcha's Medical Dictionary:
===============================

An IDIOT is a person without understanding or ordinary mental capacity, one
who does not advance beyond the mental age of three years; distinguished
from a simpleton, who is capable of some mental and physical education. A
SIMPLETON is one who is congenitally weak-minded yet not incapable of
education; a mental defective not advancing beyond the mental age of seven
years. A MORON is a feeble-minded person of higher grade than a simpleton,
one who does not advance beyond the mental age of 12 years.

"No. 325. H. W., aged 17. This wretched being seems to be, like the
preceding ones, so deficient in nervous energy that he lies almost as
powerless as though he were a mass of jelly, without a bone or a muscle in
his composition. If his legs are pinched or irritated, he seems to try to
move them, but scarcely draws them up an inch. If flies alight upon his
face, he can hardly reach them with his hand. He sometimes rolls his head
from side to side with a languid motion, and this is the most he can do in
that way, for he cannot raise it up even to take food. He is fed like a sick
infant, with half-chewed victuals, from a spoon. He has no speech, and
apparently no knowledge of persons. When food is brought near to him,
something like a smile comes over his countenance; perhaps he is made aware
of it by the smell." (1848 description of an idiot, Samuel G. Howe; Rosen et
al. 38-39).

In legal matters, under some conditions yes, if they are sworn witnesses in
a court of law.
If they are not sworn it is not admissible.
If the evidence they present is of some technical nature then they must
first be qualified as an expert witness in that court's jurisdiction.
If this testimony is not presented by the witnesses themselves, it is not
considered evidecne and in general would be dismissed as hearsay.

However scholarly and scientific evidence is of a different nature and in
general the answer would be no.

I once had a student in a SCUBA class say that a shark swam between him and
the person next to him.
Nobody else saw this, including me and I was swimming behind the class.
Was his testimony as a witness a form of evidence?

I'm asking this because it is a prime example of why the answer in general
would be no.

The visibility was about 20 feet.
The location was the breakwater in Monterey, California.
He saw a shark.

*Everybody* else, including me, saw a bird swim between them.

And yes, birds do swim underwater, frequently by flapping their wings and
are quite fast.

Logical fallacy of hypostatisation.

So, Painter, like all alt.atheism atheist fuckwits, you need to define an
acceptable level of evidence that does not entail a logical fallacy on your
part.

Go on, hop to it. Define an acceptable level of evidence that does not
entail a logical fallacy on your part.

Well then, you can't logically demand "scientific evidence" for a
Metaphysical X? Can you? Hmmmm?

A Metaphysical X cannot be emperically tested in a physical realm. Can it?
Hm?

So much for your unthinking parroting of "what the legal system, science and
scholarship agrees on."

Are you getting it yet?

metaphysical
adjective.
1. pertaining to or of the nature of metaphysics; "metaphysical
  philosophy"
2. without material form or substance

Now, armed with the knowledge that it is illogical to demand scientific
evidence of something without material form or substance, which I have now
kindly imparted to your unthinking self, have another go at defining an
acceptable level of evidence that does not entail a logical fallacy on your
part.

Alternatively, please feel free to propose a K0OkTHEORY of how it is
possible to scientifically inspect something that is without material form
or substance.

Oh, my. How deep is your denial?

The whole of your demands for evidence have been blown out of the water and
your fragile little psyche can't handle it.

About this, which you ever so conveniently snipped:

[QUOTE]

evidence of something without material form or substance, which I have now

[/QUOTE]

A different point is being raised, Painter. You can't snip the point merely
because you don't like the way it's going to severely damage your
credibility as an alleged thinker.

You have insisted on demanding evidence for a Metaphysical X, so if you want
the evidence for a Metaphysical X, I will give it you, but you must define a
level of evidence that does not prove you to be the ilogical atheist fuckwit
you should at least suspect you are.

So, Painter, define an acceptable level of evidence that does not entail a
logical error on your part, and in return, I will give you the evidence
you've been looking for.

What can be fairer? Hmmm?

Here's the question you asked,

I answered it and you started yapping about the metaphysical again.

"Are the testimonies of witnesses a form of evidence? " does not contain any
of the big words you have recently acquired.

Here is my answer to your question.

"
In legal matters, under some conditions yes, if they are sworn witnesses in
a court of law.
If they are not sworn it is not admissible.
If the evidence they present is of some technical nature then they must
first be qualified as an expert witness in that court's jurisdiction.
If this testimony is not presented by the witnesses themselves, it is not
considered evidence and in general would be dismissed as hearsay.

However scholarly and scientific evidence is of a different nature and in
general the answer would be no.

I snipped an example of why the answer would be, in general,  no because it
would require you to learn another big word.

And yet again, "A different point is [was] being raised".

"So, Painter, define an acceptable level of evidence that does not entail a
logical error on your part, and in return, I will give you the evidence
you've been looking for."

Define an acceptable level of evidence, Painter.

Or would you rather tacitly admit that you have no interest whatsoever in
scholarly discussions with theists, and instead prefer to troll them based
on your invalid assumption that they can't see through the massive holes in
your illogical arguments?

If you don't take up the offer of getting the evidence you've been looking
for, it can only be that it is true that you want only to troll theists, not
rationally discuss ideas.

Choose, Painter.

In what field?
In the legal field, my measurement of the width of one road was accepted and
since it was less than the width of the road in question and paved from curb
to curb, all charges were dropped. That was accaprable evidence.

Not at all. His stupidity is well documented and your supporting him shows
the kind of person you defend.
He's the kind of person who will find a web site, use it to ddefend a
position and ignore all the literature that says he and the site are wrong.
He claims to know more than doctors
"My comment:

Dukes reply
Yeah, that's pretty much the case.   "

He will argue for and against the same thing.

The thread where he was offered advice on how to solve his becoming an open
relay, because of his stupidity is a classic of "I know more than all of
you"

He is a small minded bigoted Christian who likes to watch little children at
children's masses and is afraid to even admit where he went to school.

Your defending such scum is a demonstration of who you are.

Funny enough, so is yours. This thread contains empirical evidence of
numerous attempts to get you to understand the logical error you create by
demanding physically substantial evidence of something that has no physical
substance.

So, you haven't ignored all the logical arguments that say you're an
illogical atheist fuckhead then?

You implied that you knww as much as "the legal system, science and
scholarship agrees on" wrt to evidence and still ended up with your knickers

I defended the substance his argument, and I am still defending it. I

Now, tell me again that you weren't upset, k0oKy.

You mean like there could have been no global flood because of hate partial
pressure of air - that's one of your's, painter.

But the best one, bad for an emt like you, is that the heart is NOT controlled
by tiny electrical signals.  Actually I should say for the patients you treat in

This is a valid piece of evidence and Earl did not seem to be able to show
the reason, something a high school physics student could do.

This is a flat lie and comes from the discussion as to the function of the
defibrillator (AED.in particular)
He claims it starts the heart.
Those who know something about the subject know this is not true.
Those who know or look up the meaning of the word "defibrilate" can get an
idea...

At a conference some time after this an ER doc mentioned in passing that in
12 years  he had never seen a flat line convert. Anecdotal for sure but
probably true.

His "formal" responses stopped some time ago when the stupitity of them was
pointed out.

If you followed his little adventure when he opened an e-mail after
"accidentally" turning his virus scanner off and not having a three year old
at the time patch, you would have seen his stupidity is not limited to
religion.
The end result was becoming an open relay, having to move to cox.net and
buying a new hard drive.
He could have followed the suggestions given him here.

And it took you ten whole years to figure out that a lot of people in
alt.atheism don't really want to discuss anything?

And you're still doing it?

If I'd seen this in April, when it was posted, I would have
considered nominating you for the AUK "Custer Kicked a.s!" award, or one
of the other ones celebrating bootless battles.  

And this doesn't exactly negate my observation about Fr. O'Whiskey getting
cranky.  *coff* *coff*

Why should the atheists move out of alt.atheism?

Why should people who have bad experiences with the RCC move out of
alt.recovery.catholic?

Why should the JWs move out of arj-w?

You're the one who looks out of place.  

Mind you, YOU could get them to "move along" by getting a real newsreader.

1) add alt.atheism to killfile
2) ???
3) PROFIT

well not really profit but it would both be ecogroovy by not wasting
server space and bandwidth and keep you from developing RSI.  

Also (and this is important) it's what YOU can actually control.  Sack up,
man.  

>I no longer waste my time with much of a formal response when all I get back is
>"prove a God exists" over and over and over with no more thought than that.

Why bother at all?  It's long descended into

is
is not
is
is not
is
is not
is
is not

and you've got a bigger audience than them.  If you can't do it cleverly
(and you're not), for the love of the sweet Baby Jesus and his Blessed
Mother, FIND ANOTHER HOBBY.  Maybe one that glorifies God and actually
witnesses for the faith for a change.  Go sort cans at the food bank or
something.  

Personally I think you're long overdue for a grownup Bible study and
church history class, *not* taught by a Fr. O'Whiskey and/or Sister Mary
Cranky.  Your ignorance of *basics* is an embarassment to the thinking
Christians reading you.    Disengage your keyboard and engage your brain.  

(As a side benefit, it really confuses the one-trick alt.atheism ponies
when you don't play to their script. Right now, you *are* playing their game,
and you're ALL losing because you ALL look stupid and petty.)

Right now every time I read one of your posts I think of a bit from a Bill
Hicks routine.  Quatloos to anyone who can correctly identify it (reminds
me, I should see if it's on Youtube somewhere).

"... There's glory for you."

"I don't know what you mean by 'glory,'" Alice said.

Humpty Dumpty smiles contemptuously. "Of course you don't--till
I tell you. I meant 'there's a nice knock-down argument for you!'"

"But glory doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument," Alice objected.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone,
"it means just what I choose it to mean--neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice "whether you can make words mean so
many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master--that's
all."

Nope, you don't have any explaination so you keep saying that you already
did it and we are too stupid to understand it anyway.  It is just a stupid

Actually, The Christian Church was started by Christ in 33AD (or even AD28)
based on the Holy Mass, the 7 sacraments, and the Papacy.  

The Christian Chruch was legalized in 325AD, but it officially started in 33AD
(AD28).

Nobody who has a superstition thinks that they have a superstition.  You
believe that your superstition is very real.  Well that is fine, but you
should be able to offer a "data base" that demonstrates why you superstition
is not a superstition.  So far you have managed to blert out "the Big Bang"
and bananas.  Nobody was impressed.  I offered dog anni, but that was not

just confuses you. You see, I am so far superior to all of you, it makes
me giddy. When God speaks to me I get an erection. That's why I purchase

Others agree with you Duke. (He used to call himself Duke Lebougre)
No one can get through to douche lebougre.
That is, of course, everyone else's fault -- according to douche himself.
Why, he's the most mild-mannered of fellows -- he keeps telling us so. He
knows about stuff.  He knows more about more stuff than all of us together.
Didn't you know that?  He's told us often enough! Why, he even knows that
the people who set up the newsgroup and wrote the charter and FAQ are the
ones who should never post here.He knows that anyone who disagrees with him
should leave the group immediately -- that's what he told me, and Mac, and
in time will tell Apostate of Grace.
It's obvious to him that a newsgroup established for ex-Catholics should
welcome preachers bent on bringing us back into the fold.
It's quite plain (to him) that anyone who hasn't told /him/ some
overwhelmingly good reason for feeling him/herself injured at the hands of
the RCC is just a weakling and a liar, badly in need of his help. And it's
widely known that douche never changes anyone else's name, always reads a
post to which he's replying all the way through, and never lies.
He's a superb logician, never resorts to ad hominem attacks, never
introduces red herrings and never changes definitions in mid post.
He's great at mathematics, too.

To the real Duke. I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say "butt out"
to the imposter.
Are you asking him to leave or present  himself?

GLTBQ group. The librarian walked by and wanted to know if I was advertising

You are correct, I used the wrong expression. Earl, please leave this
group, I am not interested in anal sex with you. I prefer to go where NO
man has gone before.

Nice attempt to turn it around . . .yet again. . . .

What is your "data base" for your superstitions?  Why do you believe such
nonsense?  Can you express it?  How can you expect someone to respect your
beliefs if you can't say why you believe them?  Without that, we can only
assume that your beliefs are nonsense.

That old bronze age pile of myths and ledgends?  Baa!   You can have the
"Guide" with a very real recently dead author which is far more up to date,
equally effective and a lot more fun to read.  There are radio and TV
versions plus a movie if that is your cup of tea!

The best part is that it has on its cover, in large friendly letters the
words "DON'T PANIC."

Hey, it is you with the bronze age myths and ledgends.   I have shown you a

Back to bananas, great!

I once heard that a proof for the existance of deities is that evolution has

turd while not leaving residual fecal matter on the exterior, still
retaining the ability to emit enough aroma for other dogs to sniff.

It seems to me that you need a "data base" to demonstrate the non existance
of the Great Green Arkleseizure.  Well, where is it?

Do something nice for all of us and killfile "duke" who is not honest enough
to use his real name, Earl Weber.
He argues for the sake of arguing and  never admits being wrong.
This is not unusual for his kind but the evil he demonstrated during Katrina
brought about a massive plonking by most of us.
He's not worth talking to and being ignored is probably the worst punishment
that can be imposed

How about Acts 2:38, rl.  Are you saying God did mean this part.

Acts 2:38 (New International Version)
38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of
Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit.

believe both.   However, I do not believe that water washes away sin.

Water doesn't wash away sin by itself.  Baptism, an act of being born again, is
a duel act of laving the head with water while reciting the words "I baptize
thee (name) in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen

Baptism is an agreement via an outward act to be buried with Christ to sin in
the hopes that we too might rise to the Father with him.  Jesus taught us this.

He even went so far as to say that one cannot enter the kingdom of God without
being born again.  John 3:5.

Dookie likes to talk to himself. He even answers himself. It's a type of
verbal masturbation.

I just corrected you on this one.  I named group, and amount.

Perhaps you were simply ignorant before.  Now you're lying.

I looked.  Extensively.  No such things were said.

You lie yet one more time.

But here's your chance.  Prove me wrong.  Quote the posts
in question. Humiliate me publicly.  Google is your friend.

Put your counter-exmaples here, liar:

Here's a partial list, mostly from Budikka, I believe,

What you're from him is is impotence at its most raw.  The choicest
thing he ever posted was in alt.atheism on January 5th, 2004, at 5:46
pm when he said, "I've heard myself say a lot of vocal things, but I've
never heard myself think." (http://tinyurl.com/f48bq).
<snip>
The best "evidence" of a god he was ever capable of producing is these
five items he fisrt posted (to my knowledge) in thread "Scientists find
new face on back of Turin shroud" in a.a. on April 18 2004, 9:52 am:
http://tinyurl.com/c6hkg.

For someone who is so ready (and so unchristian) to libel others with
baseless accusations of plagiarism (http://tinyurl.com/fklw8), it's as
hilarious as it is ironic that he appears to have appropriated "his"
five evidences from Thomas Aquinas who, c1245, published "Summa
theologiae" which contained five "Ways" to "prove" some god's
existence, all of which have been thoroughly discredited.

He admitted his "own" five ways were nothing but blind belief in alt
atheism in a thread called "The Inquisition" message posted on
Saturday, 12 June, 2004 11:52am:
http://tinyurl.com/bc5ud
but that was all he could do after the massive pounding he got.

I used those same five items in a spoof edition of my "Why There is no
God" series (http://tinyurl.com/bz54w).  I changed a word here and
there and all of his five "evidences" miraculously became evidence for
the non-existence of a god!  Naturally I didn't count them in the total
of six hundred (at the last count) since they were so pathetic.

His comments are not designed to enlighten, help, or exchange anything,
but to abuse people.  He's the very antithesis of this purported
Christian love he's supposed to dispense.

He never documents or supports a single thing he says, whereas the
cowardice and lies of this pathetic hypocrite for Christ have been
fully documented on Usenet.  His despicable behavior and his slanderous
unfounded charges (he thinks turning the other cheek means mooning
someone) are why he was mass-plonked by pretty near the entire regular
set on a.a.:
http://tinyurl.com/9gycg

His cowardice in "debate" or even discussion is legendary:
1.  http://tinyurl.com/ac2vg
2.  http://tinyurl.com/4dyok
3.  http://tinyurl.com/664yu
4.  http://tinyurl.com/apenc

He claims he can run rings around anyone on scripture, but when he was
actually taken up directly on this claim:
http://tinyurl.com/3z47u
he ran away!

He has well over a dozen documented lies:
http://tinyurl.com/5zlzx
http://tinyurl.com/ablwm

He regularly demands people open discussions on his god, and when they
do, he runs away.  I personally had him run from the same topic well
over 100 times in direct response to a challenge he initiated!
He dismally failed the simplest intelligence test imaginable:
http://tinyurl.com/7zm43

He has fifty questions he can't answer or daren't answer honestly here:
http://tinyurl.com/ad89u
and fifty more here:
http://tinyurl.com/9ky7y

In short, he's a complete waste of skin, and not worthy of a response
such as yours.

Budikka

Hmm... I wonder if this bit of information is something his CURRENT
priest might want to have?

Well, each person gives him the benefit of the doubt at least once, but
Duke makes certain that everyone knows that he is an intentionally
ignorant liar.

I have known people like him. They make up so many lye's that they start
to believe in them.

I'm not your lap dog.  Go look for yourself.  Facts are facts.  You can do it.
