Reply #280: That Is Untrue. [View All]

[arwalden]

I have not accused you or anyone of having a "closed-mind".

What I have said is that theists want to limit the scope and language of the debate... they want to FRAME it. Nontheists do not want these limitations. -- In response, you make absurd statements about my wanting to "frame" the debate with these limitations.

Such silly diversions and absurd contradictions come from a position of weakness. It's nothing but vanity... the equivalent of saying that black is white.

Further... if anyone expects to engage others in an intellectual conversation and exchange... then there is a minimum grammatical standard that the posts must reach. I know that you can speak and type coherent messages... I've seen them before. But clearly, in your haste (eagerness?, anger?) to respond to me, I'm afraid that some of your messages don't quite reach the minimal standards. I do try to understand your words, and sometimes I can figure out what you might have meant... but it's a challenge, and a distraction.

I try to organize my thoughts and type them out in a logical order, using reasonably good grammar and sentence structure. It also helps me to spell-check and proof-read my posts before clicking the submit button. I try not to let other arguments with other people clutter my thoughts and I try to stick to the subject. I don't accuse people of saying things they haven't said.

<< "You have no burden of proof and reasonable people agree with you = yep" Posted by papau whatever floats your boat. >>

It's almost as though I've stepped into a Monty Python sketch.

<< I do love assertions presented as agreed facts. >>

It's just astounding how so many theists thing that a never-ending series of contradictions are a substitute for rational and logical thinking.

<< Now we could rant about the other's closed mind and incoherent posts - but We have already done that, haven't we? >>

We? What "we" are you referring to? Are you thinking of someone else? I don't recall any such "rant".
