Argument made by religious people that just isn't valid

[Hardcore Newbie]

LOL please you do not know and do not believe in anything that is the definition of an agnostic

agnostic according to the dictionary-An Agnostic [1] [noun] [OW] embraces a worldview in which the existence of deity is unknown or unknowable. Derives from the Greek agnostos, a = without, gnostos = known or knowledge. "Agnostic[ism] [CE] was coined by Professor TH Huxley in 1869 to describe the mental attitude of one who regarded as futile all attempts to know the reality corresponding to our ultimate scientific, philosophic, and religious ideas." ie undecided ie cant choose a side until your are decided i would listen to and defend my views to you if you were able to

Which dictionary? Right.

an agnostic by definition can not have an opinion on this so at least admit atheism before continuing

Sorry, I thought it was assumed in the spirituality boards that atheist pertained to spirituality and religion.

I am a theistic agnostic.

Argument made by religious people that just isn't valid A lot of people justify their belief in a certain religion by claiming that there is basically no difference between believing in religious texts and believing in commonly accepted historical texts. They'll say something like, "What's the difference between believing in the Bible and believing all the written accounts of the Civil War, for example? You choose to believe those accounts, even though you weren't actually there, just like I choose to believe in the Bible even though I wasn't Rating: 5

Moderating

Take a break from this thread, you two. Enough of the multiple posts, SD and Hardcore Newbie, and easy on the F word there, Hardcore. We are particularly serious about respect in this forum area, and the F word doesn't qualify as respectful, even if you're using it exclamatorily.

I mean it. Go to opposite corners or I will shut this thread down. SD, I will not delete any of the posts above. You were not personally insulted, and this is indeed a heated discussion. You're helping engender that heat, too, and you're free to leave for safer ground if the temp has gotten too hot.

talk about no sources and not indapendent I mean please a rant as "proof" OMG wow these are more laughable then the joke source link i sent before
anyways what about the common ground post before an atheist must be able to see that an agnostic is just a person who can not make a choice and is too afraid if they do

Do you even read.

From me in the post with the links.

Here you go, see how simple it is to find unreliable sources.

Did you really not catch that? They weren't meant to be quality links... Let me spell it out for you, I was mocking ya.

Also, for future reference, when engaging in a debate, people will take you more seriously if you write coherently.

I don't subscribe to atheism. I believe that it's possible that the universe was created. That's not an atheist. I will debate the plausibility of the Bible, if you can accept that.

so there is no common ground not even on agnostics jagged? and to quote, when making a joke use a smiley, or at least a lol

[JaggedEdge]

There is common ground in that I feel history is correct in that a man named Jesus once existed.

Sorry BG, I saw your moderation comment, but got booted from the server due to it being busy.

What common ground among agnostics? What is that in reference to?

[Hardcore Newbie]

I'm taking a break as per BirdGirl's request.

You seem like you're fine to continue, Hardcore, if you feel you can do so respectfully and want to. I just wanted everyone to take a few deep breaths.

I really need to sign off here in a moment and don't want to feel like I'm leaving a thread vulnerable to a violent escalation. Can y'all avoid escalation if I sign off and go to bed? Trust me, you don't want me to have to come back in here if you wake me out of a deep sleep cursing at each other!
