Ah... don't know what you mean there... I was saying that logic and reason is the only way to argue..

I am a highly creative person, I hate maths, etc. It's nothing to do with what kind of person you are. The only way you can know something is through REASON. "Faith: Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel." According to you...

As an agnostic, my non-beliefs are based on reason and logic (or your lack-there-of). Your beliefs are not founded on reason and logic, and are therefore not justifiable. No offense, and it's great that you're healed and all, but this is your argument: 1. I was cured of sickness 2. So were...

Well actually I think the agnostics win :)

Once again, no one has actually put forward any reasons for believing in God. All I've heard is, "oh it's a belief. You can't criticise someone's beliefs." But this is plainly and painfully false - if you believe 2 + 2 = 5, you are wrong. If you believe a square has 3 sides, you are wrong...

I can't believe this... after all this discussion no-one has actually given logical reasons for belief in God (aside from the Bible, which is circular reasoning, so don't bring it up)

Well the proposition, "there is a God," is either TRUE or FALSE. Pick one. I'm sure he needs correcting too hehe

1 - that's right, it was MY point, which you have not addressed. There is a reason for that: because you can't. Whenever you ask any religious person, "what makes your religion the right view," they always seem to stumble around for answers, then end up avoiding the question. 2 - right...

I assumed any rational religious person would believe in evolution - haven't most of the churches adopted that view now anyway? I wonder how much of the Bible will be left in about 100 years... probably just the title page

1. You didn't address why your religion is the correct view 2. You provide no authority for those somewhat dubious statistics

Haha how do you do that? I don't know how many people you've corrected in completely random places. I hope you don't correct your teachers :) You like arguing aye? Prepare to meet your match muwahaha

Sure, there's nothing morally wrong with believing in a religion, so long as that religion does not advocate doing morally reprehensible things. I get what you're saying about the fact that religion may have positive effects and all. But certain things are true or false, or have known ways of...

I'm sorry, but you cannot know and do not know the existence of God. The correct phrasing is that you believe in the existence of God. You know, chances are if you had been brought up on another religion, THAT would be who you are. And right now you'd be going on about how you love whatever...

Either that or perhaps you take the stance that preaching is allowed, and with it, so is "un-preaching" hehe Christians then are justified in trying to convert people... so long as athiests are allowed to inhibit the process

Yes.. people should be entitled to believe whatever they want (no matter how stupid or ridiculous it may be) That said, it is understandable when people complain that they are being 'preached to'.

oh not again... unless you can prove the existence of God, right here, right now, in this forum, you can't possibly have anything constructive to offer... aside from amusing the athiests and annoying the agnostics.. or vice versa

barristers get paid shitloads

I suppose, the traditional racial nature of legal institutions notwithstanding, this is in part to be attributed to having English as a second language. Law is a very 'English-orientated' field. Not to generalise, but I would say more asians than not have greater knowledge of maths and sciences...

Apparently you can also have negligent intentional torts, like "negligent battery" :)

Like what Asquithian said, in a time of economic satisfaction I think a lot of Australians adopted sort of a "if it aint broke don't fix it" mentality towards the election. But there is obviously a difference between 'why Liberal got in' and 'whether they should be in'. Whether people voted...
