@cicerone imposter,
ACtually, one of his debate points is to slowly modify his original debate point so that he can try to occupy several different POVs at once. I attribute that to his failing memory aided by copious amounts of malt beverages

Any chance of an example dahling? Without a convincing one the second sentence is a crass non sequitur. It goes without saying that without an example the first sentence is too. Should we add them together or multiply them.

One might use the paragraph to demonstrate what an elementary non sequitur looks like to a class of slow learners.

And didn't you recently accuse someone of employing that infantile rhetorical device? I trust your accusation wasn't a non sequitur as well.

I know a cure for assertivitis fm. You have it real bad you know. It seems to be a condition common in atheists. After all, where can an atheist derive humility from? His ego is everything surely? There is no other compass for him to steer by.

You should do something about it.

Are you saying that a atheist can not receive his moral compass from somerone like Jesus? Could they not value any of the teachings of Jesus?

2 last questions for you Spendius, Was Jesus a Therapeutae? Do you know for sure that it was not these great philosophers that gave us Jesus?

It seems that your reasoning, logic or even knowledge, is at its lowest levels to be pretending such insanity.

It also seems that you know nothing about humility...

And it's not something one can teach you..

@Setanta,
I guess that there is a price to pay for every answer I give!

I can't how they would or why they would want to. Jesus represents an extreme askesis. A self-abnegation of that magnitude!! An atheist!!! No way!!! At least Socrates only had to drink hemlock. Actually, I read a biography of Socrates which said that he didn't have to. He was sentenced to drink hemlock. It seems they left the jail door open and hinted strongly that he should **** off. So he chose it. They tortured a slave or two at his trial on the spiked ladder. But I don't know whether any of that is true.

Askesis is no good to Media. What use is turning the other cheek to the legal profession? But I can't see why evolution scientists are bothered about it.

Any value an atheist derives from Jesus has derived from Jesus. And setting a compass by it is a strategy. An atheist is a non-Christian society would need another compass. This science doesn't just apply to the USA. An atheist is an atheist in every society. They have to be identical.

I don't know whether Jesus was a Therapeutae. He probably knew of the sect. Of course Jesus came from an ancestral tradition. He spoke the language of it. He knew of the Pagan proscription of the infinite which resulted in Greek mathematics exhausting itself in Euclid. Or whoever wrote his lines in the New Testament did. He had committed no crime in Roman Law. His offence was one they dare not speak of.

It's pub time. 10.30 pm.

@Setanta,
He is maybe just mistaken. The benefit of the doubt, you know..

@Francis,
Humility seems to be defined many ways but in the way you are useing it "it seems as though you do not have it neither. At least by your post! Are you saying that you will never learn it? or am I understanding this all wrong?

@spendius,
Those tactics don't work with me, Spendi.

I'm an atheist on my own and I'm not similar to any other atheist...

I mean, I'm ten times humbler..

@Francis,
What i said was based on my experience of his posts. I stopped giving him the benefit of the doubt some time ago. As far as i can see, someone with the conceit to use "reasoning logic" as a screen name was very tightly wrapped to begin with.

@Setanta,
It would help if you knew some of the facts why I use the name rather then jump to conclusions. RL are my initials and I have never claimed to have reasoned any thing! I am a work in progress!

I am reasoning logic I am not finished yet, when I have reasoned logic then I will be finished!
Would you be kind enough to show everyone one what it looks like to have reasoned logic? If you can then we will no longer need to be trying!

Sorry rl. I got this thread mixed up with the Acronym game where the hotshots gather and into which our resident anti-IDers dare not venture.

I hope you know Francois that rl was quoting me.

It was me, I must own up, who said--

Im busy writing a book and cooking for my sick wife, so Playing video games isnt on the schedule.
ANyway, whenever anyone types hisself as a "Hotshot" then he and any self congratulatory "handle"could be quite happy in each others company.
